Hunting: Pisa, approved by the Provincial Council the Hunting Calendar valid for the 2013-2014 hunting season in the provincial territory.
The Provincial Hunting Calendar for the 2013-2014 season has been approved by the Provincial Council. In reality, as explained by the Councilor Giacomo Sanavio, the powers of the Province on hunting times from this year are very limited, given the approval by the Tuscany Region of two recent Resolutions (no. 419 of 3/06 / 2013, concerning the periods and methods of hunting for Ungulates and, above all, n.556 of 8/07/2013, relating to hunting times on other species), in which the main decisions on the matter are taken.
In practice, the Hunting Calendar from this year is no longer included in the Regional Law 20/2002, for which the Constitutional Court, with Sentence n. 90 of 20/05/2013, has ordered the cancellation of paragraphs 1-5 and 6 bis, concerning precisely the timing of collection for each species, but it is and will be governed in the future by annual administrative acts of the Region.
In these regional deliberations important innovations are sanctioned, including:
a) Pheasant hunting is allowed in the period between September 15th and December 30th 2013, with the exception of the Wildlife Hunting and Agritourism Hunting Companies in which it is allowed, according to the annual plans approved by the Province, pursuant to art. 8, paragraph 3, of Regional Law 20/02, until 30 January 2014;
b) the hunt for the COMMON HARE is allowed from 15 September to 8 December 2013;
c) the hunting of the STARNA and the RED PARTRIDGE is allowed in the entire territory under programmed management of the Province of Pisa and in the Fauna-Hunting Companies from 15 September until 30 November 2013; for the STARNA a maximum annual game bag of 5 head per hunter is fixed; for the RED PARTRIDGE this limit is 10 animals / hunter;
d) hunting for the WILD RABBIT, MERLO, QUAIL and TAUPE (Streptopelia turtur) will be allowed from 15 September to 30 December 2013; for the QUAIL and TAUPE species, a maximum annual / hunter game bag of 25 heads of each species is set;
e) hunting for the species BOTTLE THRUSH, HAZEL, SNAKE, CANAPIGLIA, TAIL, COLOMBACCIO, GRAY CORNACCHIA, WHISTLE, FOLAGA, WHISKER, WATER HEN, GAZZA, ROYAL GERMAN, GLANDAIA, MARZAIOLA, SHOVEL, POSTOLONE, MORCIAIA VOLPE, can be held from 15 September 2013 to 30 January 2014; for CODONE and PAVONCELLA there is a maximum annual / hunter game bag of 25 animals per species;
f) hunting is also allowed:
- from 2 October to 30 December 2013 to the ALLODOLA species, for a total of 50 animals / hunter;
- from 15 September to 31 October 2013 to the FIGHTING species, for a total of 10 animals / hunter;
- from 2 October 2013 to 30 January 2014 for the CESENA and TORDO SASSELLO species;
- from 1 November 2013 to 30 January 2014 for the MORETTA species, for a total of 20 animals / hunter;
g) Woodcock hunting is allowed in the period between 2 October 2013 and 20 January 2014 with a maximum game bag of 20 animals / hunter.
h) it is forbidden to use lead shot ammunition within all wetlands of the territory of the Tuscany Region, such as natural and artificial lakes, ponds, swamps, permanent marshes, oxbow lakes, fresh, salt and brackish water.
The competences entrusted by the Region to the Province, discussed in the Provincial Wildlife-Hunting Council and sanctioned in the Provincial Resolution concern:
- The period of hunting Cervidi and Mouflon in hunting for selection, compulsorily drawn up on the opinion of ISPRA, for which we refer to the reading of the text of the Calendar, already approved with previous Deliberation of the Provincial Council n. 86/2013;
- The approval of the hunting period for wild boar in braccata (beaten), which will also be for the current year between 2 November 2013 and 30 January 2014;
- Pheasant hunting in private institutes, which can be carried out until January 30, 2014;
- The possibility of requesting the pre-opening in derogation, for which the Province has decided to request for the day 1 September 2013, in complete analogy with last year regarding the species and methods.
