THETerritorial area of Chietino-Lancianese hunting recalled in the last few hours the recent updates of the Abruzzo hunting calendar 2016-2017. The Abruzzo region is trying to avoid future appeals against the January deadline for the woodcock, while for this year we will have to "settle" for 31th December as the latest date. The calendar in question is also fundamental for the purposes of censuses.
The ATC also explained that it is necessary to follow the indications of the ISPRA opinion in this regard, i.e. organize censuses on a regional basis and carry them out in protected areas in the period between December and January. Regional parks and reserves have not given their availability, but the Restocking and Capture Areas, Oases, Areas of Hunting Respect and other Provincial Wildlife Institutes. This is why the Abruzzo area has set the dates for the censuses with pointing dog on woodcock in these areas.
The first day is just today, Friday 23 December, then will follow that of 27 30 and December, in addition to 3, 10 and 13 January 2017. Furthermore, to speed up the times, it was decided to confirm the quadrants already chosen in the areas for the census of pheasants which took place in September. The ATC has invited all hunters to make this umpteenth effort, given that with the hoped-for results the "woodcock question" for the future can be said to be settled: consequently, the maximum participation.
