Particularly analytical kind of hunting, it requires the hunter patience, a keen spirit of observation, an iron ethics and an excellent knowledge of the territory and of the species to be hunted.
Hunting is a pure challenge against nature, the more satisfying the more honest. However, there is a particularly analytical type of hunting during which the professional hunter, according to scientific criteria, estimates and censuses, is called to make a particular choice relating to the type and characteristics of the animals to be killed. Let's talk today about selection hunting, its meaning and its purposes.
It is a relatively recent planned hunting technique which is mainly based on a preordained killing plan; the hunter before choosing one or the other prey must take into consideration particular elements such as the sex of the animal, age, size, role in the group and status, strictly adhering to the provisions of the slaughter plan .
Most of the time, it is the term selection that generates misunderstandings, which is often mistakenly understood as a choice between several variants that have the same value. The philosophy of selection hunting does not even correspond exactly with the choice of the best, strongest animals, better inserted in the territory, which, saved by the hunter, will be useful for the strengthening and qualitative and quantitative improvement of the same group. More simply, it is a weighted withdrawal, which respects certain characteristics and predetermined quantities.
La selection hunting it proves particularly effective for the management of wild ungulates.
By programming this selective hunting activity, you will have the opportunity to manage the population of a specific breed, avoiding an excessive repopulation of the area (which would cause considerable damage to the surrounding environment, to cultivated land and to farms present in a given territory, just to name a few. ) and ensuring the maintenance of the previously set density. It is a question, to put it in economic terms, of withdrawing only the annual annuity, the interest, without affecting the capital in any world. A careful selection hunt will protect the reproduction and fertility of the species, guaranteeing privileged treatment to females and puppies, the future of the species.
To become selection hunters, it is necessary to possess an analytical nature, an innate calm, a strong ability to choose, a perfect knowledge of the territory and the species being hunted and above all a strong and iron ethics that will lead the hunter to respect all that baggage of regulations and unwritten norms that will not look solely at results, but primarily at methods of achievement. Respect for the killed animal, protection towards the environment that gives hospitality, but above all towards others, whether they are hunters or not, becomes fundamental during selection hunting (as during any kind of hunting).
As previously mentioned it is a genus of hunting that concerns ungulates, mainly aimed at wild boar, fallow deer, red deer, mouflons, roe deer, chamois etc.
The Provinces, attentive to the populations of ungulates present in the area, will directly draw up a slaughter plan for the protection of the species and the environments around which the ungulate moves. Normally it is expected that the animals killed during the selection hunt are subjected to a veterinary control and it is required to fill in a killing form. Its purpose is mainly to help the Province to know the precise data of the levy on the territory.
