Ciao to all from Rome

[Zio65]

Buonasera a tutti, sono nuovo e vi scrivo dall'Italia, pratico un po 'di tutta la caccia consentita qui, da settembre a fine gennaio faccio la piuma con due spaniel di primavera e poi inizio la caccia alla selezione per cinghiale e capriolo, purtroppo qui la caccia è contrastata sia dall'opinione pubblica che da una parte del governo e ciò comporta sempre più restrizioni senza alcuna logica scientifica. Comunque, tornando a noi, possiedo un AA400 fac come dici tu, un 22lr, 17 hmr, 270W, 30.06, 308W e qualche calibro 12,20,410. La mia area operativa è vicino a Roma, il luogo in cui vivo in tutto il centro Italia
Spero di trovare fan in questo forum che possano sopportarmi per le domande che farò perché sono sempre stato affascinato dai tuoi metodi di caccia, inclusa la visione notturna che può essere fatta qui solo per contenere danni agricoli con migliaia di cavilli legali solo dopo seguire corsi lunghi e noiosi preparativi.
Il mio inglese viene da google ... Ciao a tutti

Good evening everyone, I am new and I am writing to you from Italy, I practice a little of all the hunting allowed here, from September to the end of January I do the feather with two springer spaniels and then I start the selection hunt for wild boar and roe deer, unfortunately here the hunting is opposed by both public opinion and a part of the government and this brings more and more restrictions without any scientific logic. Anyway back to us, I own an AA400 fac as you say, a 22lr, 17 hmr, 270W, 30.06, 308W and some caliber 12,20,410. My operating area is close to Rome, the place where I live all over central Italy
I hope to find fans in this forum who can bear me for the questions I will ask because I have always been fascinated by your hunting methods, including the night vision that can only be done here to contain agricultural damage with a thousand legal quibbles only after taking courses long and tedious preparation.
My english comes from google ... Hello everyone

Hello everyone and thank you for your welcome, I did not reply immediately because here the situation is worsening and we are in the hands of incompetent doctors and nurses heroes and politicians equal to the dog poop with all respect for the poop.
In the time in which I am forced to stay at home, I did maintenance on the weapons, mounted a pair of optics and lightened a shot of the Winchester 70 in 270W good shotgun with the 130grn Nosler Partition
Today I dedicate it to understand something for night vision, I would like to get to the season well prepared, indeed we accept advice on a new entry device to start approaching this technique. Yesterday the first births of the pigeons that I use for the call of the wood pigeons, I have a stake of 12 meters in height among the Mediterranean plants on the border between Lazio and Tuscany, if you are interested I will link you to some sites where we talk about this hunt now widespread in almost all Italy but originating in central Italy in particular Umbria Tuscany and Lazio.
Another hunt that we do with extreme success also due to the overabundance of animals is the "Cacciarella", which is a hunt for wild boar with posts and beaters with Beagles and French Vendeans and especially Maremma tiger hounds, the weapon of choice is the semi-automatic rifle Brow type. Bar and Benelli Argo in calibers 308 / 30.06 and 9.3x62 or slug in caliber 12.

Google translate don't work very well.....Medical and nurses heroes and politicians incompetent...now ok!!!

When we talk about wild boar hunting we usually refer to the Cacciarella or hunt. It is in fact the most common team wild boar hunting technique. Each member of the group has its fundamental importance and each is responsible for the good or bad success of the hunting day just like in a real team game.


Less known technique, at least in Italy, yet particularly ancient is that of the turn. The group is decidedly less large, the hunting area is relatively small and normally surrounded by fields or meadows.


Let's find out the secrets of each technique.

La Cacciarella or Battuta:
It is really a team work made up of hunters, canai, beaters and head hunters. It is no coincidence that everyone will participate, at the end of the beautiful day, in the sharing of the game bag.
The team is usually made up of canai, batters and posts.

As the term itself suggests, the canaries are the hunters who own the dogs to which they pay great attention not only during the hunting period, but also during the stops that will be used for training and training.



The canai are required to have a great knowledge of the maquis and the area in which the joke will take place. The main task of this figure is to hunt down the wild and to put it on the run, naturally directing it towards and posed. As a rule, avoid shooting them at a standstill or disturbing their run to avoid deviating their route and leaving the hunting area. The Canai have the task of pushing the wild boars towards the post office.
The stakes, positioned by the hunting chief, also have a fundamental role, who in this task is helped by hunters who know the hunting area better. In fact, it is essential that the posts occupy the points where the passage of the wild is more likely; only in this way will you have the opportunity to bring home a fat game bag. Mistaking a stake on the other hand could be a fatal error capable of compromising the entire hunt.



It is impossible to give a standard distance between post and post as it depends above all on the degree of visibility and the type of terrain in which you are. Ultimately, the important thing is that the post office knows exactly where the nearby post is located, which will make hunting much safer.

However, it is certain that the hunting leader in the positioning phase will have to take into account the wind. Fundamental that you pull in the face of the post as the wild boar has a very fine sense of smell that allows it to smell human presence meters away. In the same way, it is not recommended to use perfumes or aftershave but above all to smoke, although most of the time the wild, all taken away, will hardly have a clear idea of the post.

Positioning the hunters is perhaps one of the most complicated tasks since the stakes will have to be distributed intelligently and impartially. For example, a young and inexperienced hunter will be well placed near a veteran from whom he can certainly learn. In addition, the foreman must know the number and positioning of the stakes. In case of need, he can call them to help.

Another important figure is that of the batter, which is not always used. Normally these are indispensable in the case of particularly large teams, which exceed 40 members. Otherwise the role of the batsman will be covered by canai who for the occasion are invited to occupy the points where there will be no posts. Their task will be to direct the boar to the hunters in the mail.

Like? Screaming most of the time, or shooting blanks. Not infrequently they move to where the joke needs and can be considered the indispensable joker of many wild boar jokes. That said, let's see how the hunt usually takes place.
First of all, having chosen the territory, this will have to be shaped. Nothing too complicated: you will have to go around the perimeter of the hunting area, in an attempt to identify traces of the passage of the wild boar, fresh and well defined. Wild boar hunting can transmit extraordinary moments to the hunting team


Obviously it is a task for experts. Following in the footsteps, especially in times of low rainfall, is really complicated and only a professional knows how to distinguish between fresh and old footprints.

At this point, the head of the game defines the stakes and waits for the start of the bar which will take place with a conventional signal. The canaries have the task of releasing the wetsuits on fresh tracks if present. Otherwise the dogs will only have to rake the area, finding the wild boar and trying to keep up with it. Once the wild dogs have been found, helped by the beaters they will push him towards the posts which will have the task of shooting him down. Finally, the dogs will have to recover it.

The turn to the wild boar:

No less intriguing is the turn to the wild boar that takes place in not too large territories, which rarely exceed 15 hectares, surrounded by fields and meadows.

The team is composed of a few stalls and a canary who will have to manage only one dog. In short, a more intimate hunt, but not less satisfying. The dog in this case is called limiere as it remains in constant contact with the canary. Equipped with an excellent sense of smell, he must prove capable of following even very cold tracks. Wild boar hunting hounds play a leading role during the hunting trip.
The first phase of the turn is the tracing: the canary with the dog on a leash goes around the perimeter of the hunting area in search of some fresh traces. The stakes will be distributed based on their positioning.



The hunt starts with the canary who releases the hound, whose finding will be signaled by the dog through a constant barking at a standstill. The signal is mainly for the canary, who will try to reach the boar and shoot him.

If the attempt is unsuccessful, the escaped boar will be intercepted by the post office.

As it is easy to notice, the turn is a definitely less invasive and impactful hunting technique on the territory, however capable of giving great satisfaction.
