Even in Emilia Romagna it was possible to hunt in pre-opening, an opportunity that will last until 14 September. We are talking about hunting from fixed and temporary stalking, while the species involved are turtledoves, magpies, gray crows, blackbirds and jays. The general opening of the Emilian hunting season, on the other hand, will take place in two weeks, to be precise Sunday September 17.
The Region is trying to understand the usefulness of a postponement to December of the hunting of some sedentary species, given that it was the hunters themselves who highlighted the difficulties of these animals. In time, in province of Modena the drop in the number of shotguns is worrying (and not a little). Twelve years ago, in fact, there were 15 thousand, today they are 4mila, without forgetting that 2 are over 60 years old.
Giancarlo Muzzarelli, president of the Province, e Simon Caselli, regional councilor for hunting, have expressed all their fears for these numbers, given that the Modenese hunters are recognized as ecosystem operators and managers of the protection, control and care of the territory. A downsizing of this type makes us reflect and according to Caselli itself is mainly due to failure to recognize their social role.
