The exercise of the hunting activity as well as the methods is regulated for very specific periods that exclude critical phases for wild populations such as reproduction and weaning of offspring The current legislation provides for the possibility of hunting from the third Sunday of September to 31 January. The Regions, having heard the opinion of the State bodies, can authorize the activities of pre-opening and pre-closing for some species. These actions are undertaken according to the environmental situations of the territory and local traditions.
All changes to the provisions of 157/92 that can also be carried out from year to year are carried out in a specific regional administrative act which takes the name of hunting calendar in which the quantities of game bags and hunting periods are defined
