As reported by the CCT, from 1 November in most of the districts and of the Tuscan ATCs, the wild boar hunting in the traditional form of "hunted". The most popular form of hunting wild boar enthusiasts which has remote roots and which still today involves thousands of participants in our region. The team as a collective entity, the common rules, the work carried out throughout the year to arrive at the time of the go-ahead for the packs of hounds, have always been the glue for a hunt experienced as a strong moment of sociality, of solidarity which involves and brings together young and old.
A heritage of Tuscany, which beyond the controversies that have animated politics, institutions and the hunting and agricultural world for years, continues to resist time and shows a irreplaceable management tool of the populations of a species that is as beloved as it is problematic. The often demonized teams play an irreplaceable role both for the numbers of animals taken and for the multiple actions of prevention, monitoring and controlled killing of the species. To this it is useful to remember that the sampling plan approved only for the suitable areas and net of the control and selection hunting actions, goes around for the current hunting season around the 80 thousand specimens.
An extraordinary number that could never be reached with other hunting techniques. The beginning of the season is characterized by an exceptional and certainly not conciliatory climate. Yesterday the news of the communiqué issued by the Councilor Remaschi in which the teams and hunters operating above all in the southern areas of Tuscany are invited to maximum observance of prudence and the indications of civil protection for the orange weather alert. An invitation that is accompanied by that of guaranteeing compliance with all safety rules and regulations for the correct conduct of the hunts, which the Confederation of Tuscan Hunters also intends to address to all hunters who in these days will return to experience the forest. and a passion for hunting. Safety is guaranteed by acting scrupulously and not leaving any action to chance.
Safety also depends a lot on the behavior of each individual hunter who will have to put prudence and foresight before everything else. Outside there is a world and a public opinion watching us in the spotlight; some parts of it are driven and animated by animal rights and anti-hunting obsession, ready to seize every opportunity, even the most tragic, to unleash attacks on our category and our passion. Hunting accidents, although statistically lower in number than other forms of outdoor activities, represent for the hunting world not only a tragedy from a human point of view, but a deadly and media weapon in the hands of our adversaries and anti-hunting jackals. Hunting, therefore, with the usual passion, carrying the gun and the head on his shoulder!
