Hunting season has started and sounds of barking dogs and gun fire surround the area.  For some, this is part of “living off the land” and stocking their freezers with meat that will take them through the winter.  It is not so primitive  (as there are stores to buy food) as it sounds but most rely on this way of life.  They hunt pheasant, birds, libre (wild rabbit) around the house.  Wild boar is no longer in these parts so they have to go about 20-30 minutes drive to hunt.    The men walk down the road with guns in slings over their shoulders and their dogs alongside them.  In Italy, a hunter can go on any land to hunt and does not have to ask permission from the land owner.
