The possibility of hunting is indicated by the color green, red on the contrary signals the prohibition.
Waves of frost
Please note that from 1 December 2024 to 20 January 2025 there is a ban on hunting these specimens during the event called "cold wave", according to the protocol prepared by the Lombardy Region.
