Hunting: Umbria, the first pre-opening day of the 2015-2016 hunting season was good, which ended without accidents and few administrative infringements.
And this is certainly the most important result even if in the province of Perugia there is a significant decline in hunters in action in the eight districts except in Spoletino where the influx was in line with that of previous years.
Yesterday morning, 2 September, fourteen patrols of the Perugian Provincial Police operating throughout the territory, carried out 163 checks and raised 10 administrative penalties mainly linked to the failure to observe the safety distances between one hunter and another or from inhabited places. The provincial police continued their patrol also in the afternoon, until closing time.
Even in the province of Terni, the first pre-opening morning of the 2015/2016 hunting season lasted substantially without particular problems and with a good turnout of hunters throughout the territory. In fact, from the provincial police command they let it be known that over 100 checks were carried out in the morning and administrative sanctions were carried out only in a few cases.
The most significant concerns a hunter found without payment of the related taxes to which the agents of the Province have raised a fine of 500 euros with the seizure of the shotgun and the hunted game. Two other administrative sanctions for 100 euros each were made to as many hunters who had occupied the fixed hunting post before the scheduled time.
A fourth administrative penalty of 154 euros was raised against a hunter who had not noted the details of the day on the hunting card and a fifth of 100 euros was imposed on another person who was hunting in a different way from that of the stalking. .
The checks lasted until the afternoon and will continue for the other pre-opening days foreseen by the hunting calendar for 6 and 13 September, while the official opening is scheduled for 20 September.
