Quail spring hunting season begins next Monday
Local
The Gozo Ministry has announced that the spring hunting season for quail will open next Monday 10th April.
A national quota has been set at 2,400 quails, with no individual quotas for hunters. Hunters will still have to immediately report every single quail killed as well as their hunting effort and will be allowed from two hours before sunrise until noon.
This comes after the government had a request for a prohibitory injunction in Court against it by BirdLife Malta. This was to prevent it from issuing the legal notice on hunting turtle doves, but, on Thursday, the government filed a reply to the warrant.
