As decided a few days ago by the Regional Department of Sicilia to the Agriculture of Rural Development and Mediterranean Fisheries, the hunting calendar 2019-2020 of the island must be partially modified as regards rabbit hunting. It is a typical hunting activity for Sicilian hunters and the use of the ferret is allowed to flush out the animal.
According to the local authority, the withdrawals, expected in the period between last September 15 and next October 16, must be limited to four Territorial Areas of Hunting. We are talking about ATC Agrigento 1 (whose territory includes, among others, the cities of Agrigento and Sciacca), theATC Catania 1 (Catania, Giarre and Paternò), Messina 3 (limited to the island of Vulcano) e Drills 3 (only on the island of Pantelleria). This means that all the other regional areas that were previously indicated in the calendar go excluded from rabbit hunting.
