On the occasion of this event the Passion Hunting Association wishes all its loyal subscribers and friendly readers of the Portal a good start "Passion hunting"Visible at the web address www.cacciapassione.com.
Hunting as a passion, as a philosophy of life, as the possibility of living in close contact with a nature that the hunter must be the first to respect and protect, hunting as one of the most ancient and dangerous art that can be experienced with fun and certainly lightheartedness, but only after taking obvious precautions.
La safety during hunting it is prevention, and to limit the number of deaths and injuries that are listed every year by the associations victims of hunting, it is important to stop pointing to accidents as fatalities, rather to understand that most of the time they are due to limited recklessness experience, fatigue, stress, poor control. A professional hunter shoots only after a precise identification of the characteristics of his prey, not before.
The rules that guarantee greater safety for the hunter, on the other hand, exist. In recent years, practically in all provinces it has become mandatory for the hunter engaged in wild boar hunting, the use of an orange vest, very similar to what every driver must keep in his car. The purpose of the jacket is to exponentially increase the visibility of the hunter by his batting companions. No fear, the camouflage in the forest will not be compromised in any way since the wild boar does not have the possibility to distinguish colors.
The advice addressed to hunters who live in provinces that have not yet assimilated this regulation is to wear particularly brightly colored vests during the hunting trip, which allow their companions to clearly distinguish it in the thick of the forest where the visibility due to the vegetation, slope and schedules are most often compromised.
The use of is also strongly discouraged alcohol before or during the hunt, just as it is not good practice during the hunt to contest decisions of the huntsman.
Furthermore, the hunter's excellent knowledge of more that regulate the much loved activity. Rules often change quickly and the hunter should be kept informed of any changes that may prove to be of fundamental importance.
Another particularly important rule for one's own safety and for the safety of others is the table of the strike area, a rule now assimilated by many provinces. The area affected by the hunt by the team must be carefully marked through the use of red flags on which the presence of a hunt in progress and the possible danger represented by going beyond the signaled perimeter must be indicated.
The relative problem is associated with the safety problem to environmental problems and rural crops.
The hunter with a capital C must keep in mind that his activity must not cause damage to agriculture, forests and even less to the environment in general. On the other hand, a good conservation of the environment is a fundamental requirement for a happy hunting activity.
Scheduled hunts that are mainly based on the numerical consistencies established thanks to the censuses, will avoid an alteration of the natural balance, which the hunter has every interest in protecting.
But above all, the hunter must not forget the close link between hunting and agriculture. In fact, it is not uncommon for the hunts to take place in environments adjacent to those intended for agriculture, if the natural habitat of game. In that case the collaboration between hunters and farmers will be fundamental. The former must in no case harm the health of the cultivated environments, the latter by limiting the use of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, protecting nests and broods will ensure the survival and healthy reproduction of game.
Although general, we hope that this overview will help you start the hunting season with greater enthusiasm, confidence and awareness.
