Migration of the quail: we remind you that electromagnetic acoustic calls are not allowed
The news is still not widespread throughout the Italian territory, but in the Chieti area, they know what we are talking about. In fact, poaching checks have started on the whole province since Wednesday. They were activated by the State Forestry Corps, to be able to reduce the non-legal use of the famous electromagnetic calls for quail.
This is the migratory period of quails and consequently the best time to use unauthorized means for hunting these animals. The commander of the forestry corps wanted to save yet another destruction by poachers against these birds. In fact, poachers, in order to be able to hunt quail, often make use of unauthorized materials, for a simple and fast killing of the animal.
Often, handcrafted materials are used that do nothing but harm, those who hunt for passion and not for fun. Some handcrafted devices have been built with a battery, a car stereo and a speaker that reproduce the song of the quail.
There are already four craft calls seized by the State Forestry Corps. We remind you that using mechanisms of this kind is protected by art. 30 lett. h) of Law 157/92. The anti-poaching carpet checks are continuing even in these hours, those responsible will have to pay for the lack of compliance with hunting laws.
The art of hunting is a passion, it must absolutely not become an illegal practice, which only damages those who love hunting. We just have to wait for the developments of the investigation to find out if the perpetrators will be identified and what penalties they will have to pay.
