Hunting: in Tione di Trento the “6th Visintainer Trophy” showcases two thousand hunting trophies for ungulates.
It does not have the walls painted red like the trophy exhibition on the evolution of naturalistic collecting, set in the Natural History Museum of Venice, but in Tione, the 2.000 horns of all sizes on display, on the occasion of the 6th Giorgio Visintainer Trophy, attracted fans from all over the region. A true paradise for lovers of roe deer, chamois and large ungulates such as deer or mufflone. Hundreds of testimonies of killing, which have brought, in the Tennis Center of Parco Saletti, more than three thousand fans of the art of hunting. Scope loot victim of sniper rifles, such as the powerful Stayer or Munlicher carbines, equipped with "long" (the telescope) on the barrel. It is not the first time that Tione has hosted a hunting event of this type.
The appointment, for the Giudicariesi sections, divided into the four districts that include the Brenta and Adamello territories, is annual. But in the two days that ended yesterday, hundreds of enthusiasts came from all the valleys, without being disturbed - as has happened in other events - by the protests of the Lav or other environmental associations opposed to any type of violent approach to game. . The exhibition was a continuous destination for experts. Of hunters and enthusiasts, coming not only from the sections of the area. 41 those represented: from Ledro to the Chiese valley, up to Rendena and Banale. On the sidelines also the interesting debate "Arms and security".
Speakers at the auditorium of the Guetti Institute, in via Durone, two experts in arms and legislative aspects such as Dr. Edoardo Mori, former president of the Court of Bolzano, and the lawyer Andrea Antolini, vice president of the Trentino hunters association. They talked about how to properly and safely handle hunting weapons. Not forgetting the implicit responsibilities for their custody. An interesting vademecum emerged, to which all fans should follow, to avoid that the tools of a sport represent dangers for their own and others' safety. Regulations, among other things contained in an interesting booklet recently published by the Environment Academy (Forests and Fauna of Trentino), the Trento Police Headquarters and the Province Hunters Association.
At the meeting, with the presence of over 300 people, there was also talk of "Unguati, in our districts, subject to management delegation". The technician Michele Rocca reported. In the spaces of the Tennis Center, the trophies, divided by section, represented the attraction of a highly anticipated hunting event. Hundreds and hundreds of horns of all types and sizes (the most interesting harnessed with a lot of cockade), testifying to that joke on that impervious side, or to that shot, so well aimed, that it has become a cult to tell at every dinner with friends or joke. It is known that hunters love to shoot them big.
And a bit like fellow fishermen - lovers of other types of rods - they are sometimes authors of stories to be taken with a grain of salt. In Tione, however, in the exhibition set up under the lamellar of Parco Saletti, a structure that has become the scene of exhibition fairs and sector events, all those "stages" of wild animals, divided by area, have witnessed the unchanged passion for many hunting lovers in small mountain towns. Where the deer is proliferating out of all proportion. While the chamois (1/3 of the whole Trentino) is stable, and roe deer - after years of worrying decrease - are reoccupying their habitat.
