A turtle dove hunting, on September XNUMXst, in Umbria, but only where he gets his cell phone. This is what is expected after the communication made by Councilor Morroni to the heads of the Umbrian hunting associations, which had been convened by the Region for Friday morning. Morroni has communicated the will of the Region to restore the pre-opening with hunting with turtledove for September 1st. With a limit to the game bag of 2971 specimens, half of the average number of turtle doves killed in the last five years in which the data reported on the hunting cards were examined (2014-18).
This aspect was contested by the hunting associations, which asked that the estimate be made on animals in transit and not on those killed and reported in the cards (number obviously in defect). The other node is that relating to the app on which hunters, in addition to the traditional paper card, will have to indicate in real time the number of turtle doves killed. The consequence is that it will not be possible to hunt turtledoves in places where there is no mobile phone range and therefore the slaughtered animals cannot be immediately registered using the appropriate app.
The web application, designed for this purpose by the in-house company of "PuntoZero" Region, in fact, it will send an alert to the mobile phone when the permitted abatements are reached and the subsequent stop to the activity. The hunting associations have tried to reiterate the need for allow hunting in freedom and full dignity for all hunters in every part of Umbria.
But the technicians of the Region explained that, according to national legislation, it is not possible to derogate from the count in real time. At that point, so as not to miss a day of hunting, however, finding criticalities in the way in which the regional offices have managed the turtle dove and hunting calendar, the hunting associations have taken note of the will of the Region of reintroduce pre-opening. However, it will not concern the quail, as the hunting associations had requested. For the Region, there would be no technical times (Still today).
