The Game and Fauna Service states in an announcement that the period from March 1st to August 15th of each year is considered a closed hunting season.
During this period, he notes, almost all species of fauna are in the process of reproduction, which is perhaps the most important phase of their lives. This period begins with mating, followed by nesting, egg laying and hatching, for birds and the birth of newborns, for mammals and ends with the growth and independence of young birds and mammals from their parents. .
For prey, a successful breeding season foretells a very good hunting year.
In view of the above and in accordance with the provisions of the recent amendment to the Law on the Protection and Management of Wild Birds and Game, the penalty provided for the killing, capture, harassment or pursuit of any species of wildlife in any way, including during the above period, starts at € 8.000 and increases accordingly: the number of wildlife species killed, arrested, harassed or persecuted, the number of wildlife species killed, arrested, harassed or persecuted and area and time of the offense.
