Hunting methods for pochard
Hunting for this species is subject to a special regime as set out in the National Management Plan. The decision is that the number of animals that can be killed must be 75% of the average catches of previous years. There is therefore a ceiling
maximum number of heads not to be exceeded equal to 100. The hunter interested in hunting the species must register through the App "XCaccia" made available by the AA.TT.C. Calabresi, activating the relative procedure set out in it by
Calabria Region, as soon as they have the 2025/2026 hunting license. Hunters authorized to hunt the species “MORIGLIONE AYTHYA FERINA” must record the collections made in real time on the days authorized by this Hunting Calendar on the specific App “XCaccia”. The collections must however be recorded normally on the hunting license.
