La The Tuscan Regional Authority with resolution n ° 1054 of 27.07.20, made public only on 05.08.20, it restored the possibility of withdrawing the transfer also with paper hunting card. As usual, mere mortals had to wait for the publication, while the usual cunning ones, already on the afternoon of the 27th at 17,30, perhaps with Giunta still in progress, informed by complacent hands, they already published and flaunted "The compulsory digital hunting card for the withdrawal in derogation of the transfer has been eliminated". This is true, but the triumphal statement omitted to specify which and how many problems the starling hunters will have to face if they want to use the old type card to report the culled animals.
We are obviously satisfied with the newfound possibility of using paper, essential to allow the older and less technological band of hunters to be able to exercise the exemption, but it seems to us that the poor nembrotti have fallen from the frying pan into the embers. Obligation to communicate via the web every two weeks in the first period and then weekly on established days, with a penalty already defined in case of errors or delays. Definitely easier to use the electronic card !!! The only positive note, the possibility, for hunters, to turn to associations to make reports, a way out for less technological hunters, which will force them to commute between the hut and the sections for the entire hunting season.
We, like Control room, given the impossibility of getting around the obstacle of reporting in real time, we had proposed to make the card optional for those over 70, leaving the obligation for the youngest and most technologically advanced slice of hunters. Certainly a nuisance for the young, but one that would have allowed everyone to hunt safely. Instead we wanted to force, to play upwards, and the result is there for all to see: a very complicated procedure that will put in difficulty the band of hunters that we wanted to protect. No victory therefore, despite what was triumphantly announced by the "Precocious cunning" (Control Room of the Recognized Hunting Associations of Tuscany).
We try for a few years not to hunt the starlings, we make the regions pay for the damages and then we see, if and I stress if they are put back on the calendar well, otherwise they will organize to pay all the damages.
