Il National Union of Hunters has obtained an important result as regards the 2016-2017 hunting season in Sicily. The Regional Councilor for Agriculture, Antonello Cracolici, has in fact decreed the extension of the hunt until next January 30, in particular after evaluating the latest data collected by the local authority, which revealed that the culls during the second ten days of January they decrease very rapidly.
This is the demonstration that the pre-nuptial migration species has not yet begun. The Region of Sicily has therefore decided to allow the hunting sampling of song thrush for the next nine days, partially modifying Article 4 of the current calendar. Starting today, Saturday January 21 2017, the hunting activity can only be carried out in the form of a temporary posting: the only two exceptions in this case are represented by wild boar hunting and fox hunting.
The hunters will be obliged to reach the hunting place with theunloaded weapon and inside the scabbard. Finally, as stated in the decree, offenders will inevitably be punished in accordance with the law. The starting point for the novelty of the calendar came mainly from choices of other Italian regions and other Regional Administrative Courts.
