The boar is tinged with pink ”, the women hunters of wild boar will gather in Piegaro (PG) next Sunday 10 May 2015.
Don't make them angry. Who thinks the hunting is a passion for men only, now he will have to change his mind. Umbrian women are ready to take up the rifle. And on Sunday they will arrive from Perugia, Terni, Orvieto and also from outside the region to participate in the first gathering of wild boar hunters. The event, entitled «Il boar is tinged with pink », is scheduled in Piegaro, at the Faunistico Venatoria company« La Crocicchia ». The organizer Vanni Felicini explains the initiative: “The idea was born by chance - she says - and I think it is the first initiative in Italy carried out by women only. About thirty hunters will participate in the gathering, some will also come from Marche and Tuscany. They will be engaged in a wild boar competition with dogs, on the estate of the company, and will also challenge men. In the morning four groups will compete, one made up of women only, another of hunters from outside the region, then the under and over 40 ”.
But who are the protagonists of the first meeting? They are young («They have an average age of 25-30 years»), beautiful and above all aggressive. They are workers, mothers and wives with a long hunting passion behind them. “And there is also a huntress who is five months pregnant….”, Admits Felicini. What to say: good luck ...
