A few days after the pre-opening of the hunting season, the controversy arises: Terni hunters not allowed in the province of Viterbo.
There is now little time left for the pre-opening hunt but the controversy arises between the Province of Terni and the Province of Viterbo: the underlying argument is the lack of response from the Lazio province regarding the possibility of allowing entry into the own territories to the Terni hunters.
It is a diatribe that recurs every year by now but this time it seems that the question does not find an adequate and quick solution; according to the ill-thinkers, the difficulties in starting relations with the Lazio administrators would be found in the elections to be held next year for which the exponents of the Province of Viterbo would be more in favor of favoring the interests of Viterbo voting hunters.
This year, therefore, a home hunting season is expected for the Terni hunters since there is no possibility of receiving the "hunting residence" which would allow them to be able to practice migratory hunting even in the Lazio region.
A question, that of establishing a hunting exchange between the two provinces, which occurs every year and in which the Province of Viterbo has always had a certain reluctance to admit the Terni hunters in its territories but in the end it had always reached a solution taking into account mutual needs: Terni needed more residences for migratory hunting while Viterbo needed residences for other forms of hunting, especially wild boar.
The president of Federcaccia Terni, Giulio Piccioni, comments on the issue with concern, "There are more than a thousand people waiting and on September XNUMXst there will be the pre-opening, now the time to recover is practically no longer".
Continuing, Piccioni says embittered, "Even when we were many more hunting egoism was so strong and decisive in the choices of the administrations". Referring to the same problem that arose last year, President Piccioni explains that “Then somehow he recovered with the second opening and in the following days. But this year Viterbo does not respond and indeed denies hunting residences by rigidly appealing to the regional rule which opens only to 2% of the total number of hunters in the host province ”.
The various Hunting Associations, Arci, Anlc, Anuu, Cpa, Enal, Fidc and Italcaccia, speaking on the matter, complain, "Thus there is a risk of compromising the collaboration developed over the years between the hunting and institutional world".
Addressing the provincial administrators of Viterbo and Terni, the Hunting Associations write, "Since our communication has had no effect, we again urge the competent councilors of Viterbo, Franco Simeone, and that of Terni, Filippo Beco, to make every effort to save this experience of collaboration that goes beyond hunting, in order to arrive at a positive solution that can respond in the best possible way to the mutual needs of hunters in relation to further ATCs and remote booking ".
