The autumn season, the one that runs from the end of September to the end of November, is the warm period for hunters who by law have specific duties, but also rights. The delicate balance between hunters and those who frequent the woods in autumn to walk and go is played on the word cohabitation with chestnuts and mushrooms. By law, hunters can hunt in territorial hunting areas (while they cannot do so in some areas where hunting is prohibited), keeping a distance of more than 150 meters from houses, inhabited buildings, sports centers and roads (100 meters if left to behind the buildings). The hunting activity must respect several rules, as explained by Mauro Navio, president of Federcaccia Como, association with about two thousand hunters.
Navio intervenes after the alarm raised by a 31-year-old man, Dario Rondello, who claimed to have been touched by a blow Sunday in the woods of Montano. “Hunters are family men, they don't go around shooting randomly. We are subject to legal regulations, the first of which is the distance from inhabited places - explains President Navio - I read about what happened on Sunday in Montano Lucino. Most likely what frightened the passer-by were the pellets that fell to the ground, but they are not harmful and cannot hurt anyone.
I'm sorry for the fright caused, I can understand. However, I feel I can reassure that hunters 99,9 percent are very careful people and they do not play the license superficially and do not take the great risk of hurting someone "(The Province of Como).
