La hunting season 2018-2019 it also began in Veneto, but the data are not exciting, especially as regards some areas of this region. There Province of Belluno has decided to publish the numbers on 67 alpine reserves of caccia, a picture that shows an absolutely negative trend. In the Belluno area there are less than 3 thousand licensed hunters, to be precise about 2900. However, some clarification is required.
Depending on the game involved, the hunting period is obviously different, with ungulates acting as "trailblazers". THE withdrawal blocks, then, they become official when the maximum quota is reached as regards the abatements established by the Province itself. The non-positive estimates of hunting in the Belluno area have been commented on by the president of ItalhuntGuido Calvani.
The latter is also one of the members of the Wildlife Hunting Commission of the Province and is aware that the total is decreasingand, albeit rather slow. The main problem is represented by the lack of generational change, young people are too few to hope for a rosy future. The lack of interest of the boys and the progressive aging of the hunters they are not elements to be underestimated, a trend that is also typical of other areas of our country.
Not a problem, but good news!
I am not against hunting itself, but against regulated hunting as it is.
Current laws allow hunters to carry out activities that if carried out by any other citizen would constitute serious crimes (noise emissions, spillage of lead into the environment, access to the property of others)
The exams to become a hunter or selector are a joke (to be honest as many other exams in this strange country) as are the ineffective controls and ridiculous distance regulations.
Who controls which direction a hunter shoots? how does a citizen know if a hunter has a smooth barrel or a rifled barrel?
In the absence of a political will to regulate the sector in a serious way to offer hunters the maximum possible experience, but at the same time guarantee absolute safety to unarmed citizens, tranquility has those who have a farm license or who (the majority of Italians) in September he loves walking, looking for mushrooms, cycling, the only alternative way is extinction.
