More than 100 pheasants have been released in recent days fromItalcaccia of Pescara in the whole province. Meritorious work but, essential, if you want to combine it correctly environment and hunting sustainability. An operation that, however, requires a fundamental premise to address the relative issue of repopulation of the pheasant, also for its ethical and technical value that it represents. “When it comes to game immissions”, begins Gabriele Ermesino, provincial president Italcaccia Pescara, "It must always be clear that this must be accompanied by actions on the habitat, aimed at creating conditions for the animals introduced to be able to survive and reproduce.
We also need sustainable hunting management that does not immediately exhaust the resource that is going to be repopulated. All these points are the cornerstones of a careful evaluation carried out by the Italcaccia association of Pescara which, with the help of all the municipal sections, has been able to best evaluate the ideal habitat for the setting of the pheasant". "In this case", "continues Ermesino," the wild animals placed have been carefully selected and raised in open-air ground fences, cultivated in such a way as to offer ideal conditions, both from the point of view of shelter and nutrition. This means that a lot of game in spring will be ready to reproduce in optimal conditions. This initiative ", adds the Provincial President Italcaccia Pescara," for several years has been bringing excellent results in terms of restocking, as the wild animals introduced in this period can easily find food (waste of vegetables and orchards in the land at the end of the harvest) and uncultivated areas to shelter from any predators.
Another aspect not to be overlooked is the age of the wild, these are animals of about animals 6 months of life, in full health and strength, able, therefore, to survive in all circumstances. The Italcaccia of Pescara has been and will always be close to hunters and farmers, ready to intervene in the most appropriate instances to improve the language and professionalism of hunters in full law and respect for hunting activities. “Our task, then,” concludes Ermesino, “is to give a strong signal to hunters and farmers so that hunting should be experienced and managed above all with their voluntary contribution; good, healthy and correct management, unites the minds and allows to face the planning on the territory in a correct way, for the next challenges ".
