The official nature of the Sicilian calendar
Finally, even Sicilian hunters can know what the dates and peculiarities of the next hunting calendar will be, the one relating to 2023-2024 season. The Region has published the text in the last few hours, as announced by the Councilor for Agriculture, Luca Sammartino. It is therefore worth investigating what are the main decisions.
Pre-opening and affected species
The pre-opening of hunting in Sicily has been set for 2 September, limited to turtle doves, wood pigeons and wild rabbits. Speaking of the turtle dove, its collection can be carried out on 3 and 6 September, while rabbits and wood pigeons will also be hunted on 3, 6, 9 and 10 September, with the specification in this case that it will be exclusively temporary stalking.
Other details
Focusing instead on the general opening of the hunt, the date will be that of the third Sunday of September, therefore the 17th of this month (as in the whole national territory). The closure, on the contrary, is scheduled for January 31 next year. Finally, the collection of wild boars, magpies and jays will be permitted for the entire duration of the hunting season.
