Hunting season from beginning

Hunting season from beginning of Sept to Feb/March. "Rats" is just my name for the dogs, as most are handbag size!! Prefer larger breeds. Saying that, we found a English Setter, which had run away from the hunters. Thought initially that it was a puppy, but it was 6 yrs old, underfed, teeth worn from trying to bite through its' wire cage. 19kg when we found him (by the Lake), now 26kg.
You know, after I replied, I

You know, after I replied, I felt quite silly, thought it would be something like a Jack Russell, we too call small dogs Rats!!!! Bless, you must of been horrified! I guess you took him home with you then? That's the only problem being a dog lover in Italy, you just want to take them all home with you :-( Anyway, thanks for the reply & I'll try not to take any rats home :-))))
You will probably be ok

You will probably be ok around the Lago San Ruffino tracks, but go from the Scheggia/Friano end. There are people who exersize their dogs there, but as long as yours are not aggressive, then there should not be a problem. When the hunting seaon begins though, the hunters "rats" will be free down there and may get a little annoying, although saying that they soon called them back when confronted with a Marremano, so the Ridgeback will help as well!!!
Am I right in thinking Badger

Am I right in thinking Badger hunting season Nov to Feb, inclusive?...... Viking you live near to us but as we have 5 cats the dog walking issue is not a problem, however the hunters are no respectors of land or the rules "governing" safe distances to shoot. It would be a good idea to go to the comune in Montegiorgio and ask when the hunting days are.They vary from comune to comune.
