its a pity that just Brescia and Vicenca came here on the table. Brescia because its on the way to the gunmaking center north of this town, the traditional heart of the italien gun industry just to mention Beretta in Gardonne Val Trompia and Vicenza because of its general importance for the development of the good taste.
times goes by and it was in summer 2013 yours truly was in Vicenzea to study the legacies of Maestro Palladio who had done so much for arts and crafts in this world.
I see the taste of the palladianism not only in architecture but also in such everyday objects like classic double rifles. the whole idea of classicism is not possible without Palladio so its no fun for me to see Vicenza in such a dim light.
The problem is in the hands of the local hunting administration who had seen it for decades that such a special "tradition" brings more bad than good.
my link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvraTjbOdDo shows clearly that there is a zone of anarchy which screams for regulation.
there are some valleys in the southern side of the alps working like funnels who take the migratory birds up to the north. I was on the Lago Di Garda in 2009 in the end of march and its sometimes if you are in a battle but instead of gunfire you here allways the cuckoo around you. every bird is on the move and there is a special electricity in the air.
the video from Malta shows a regulated migratory birds hunt like it have to be. anyone with a licence can shoot doves and quail but only limited. the dead cuckoo, well someone made a mistake because this bird is to close to a dove when in fligth.
this german bird conservationist is right that there is a black market for rare taxidermied bird like it is for eggs but on conditions you have on malta? where the next hunter is 50 meter to the right and to the left? this island is to small and there will allways someone talking who had seen this.
btw, most of this bird lovers will also talking against shooting cats outside of villages what is a common duty north of the alps. been in the hunting legislation for long time we see now first politians banning this "cruel sport" because its sounds good for the common stupid voter.
you know:

the truth is you can't shoot enough of this, just a few links

the same hobby "conservationist" are happy about the advent of invasive species like raccon and raccoon dog which take every chance to get birds and nests.
so stupidity on both sides! I dont talk about banning this special hunting tradition completly, nothing is so stupid you can 't learn anything but it have to change or must gone.
I fear the modern "industrial" agriculture together with all kinds of chemical fertilizer and pesticides, wild and tame predators will make a birds live hard enough also without this.

there can be no doubt the video's you send my about your kind of boar hunting in tuscany is a complete different thing.
I will give the links here because its of common interest
