La Woodcock wins the survey "Which is the favorite Sevatico of Italian Hunters".
Today we close our survey "What is your favorite wild?", The results were not long in coming, you voted in many, a nice head to head, resolved for a handful of votes in favor of Woodcock (51%).
The queen of the woods, as many of you like to call it, is therefore confirmed as the most hunted wild, practically throughout the western part of its range and along the migratory routes; moreover even for a very long period of time: roughly from July to May! He won second place on Boar (43%), also because hunting boar has always been considered a chivalrous activity.
In the past people used to go hunting with a crossbow or with the so-called "wild boar dagger", used to hit them when they rushed towards the hunters, who placed themselves in front of the animal trying to direct the iron so as to hit it above the sternum, so as to reach the heart. Well! We are not going to dwell on it, maybe we will address the discourse of this ancient hunt in some article, thank you for the collaboration! We look forward to seeing you at the next poll.
