Tunisia's Ministry of Agriculture has announced the opening of the quail and rabbit hunting season, set to begin on October 4 and run until December 6, 2026. The decision was made to regulate hunting activities and ensure the sustainability of wildlife populations. The ministry's move aims to balance the interests of hunters with conservation efforts.
According to Mohieddine Hanni, deputy head of the National Union of Hunters and Specialized Associations, the ministry's decision, published on September 8, 2026, outlines the types of game, hunting dates, and allowed bag limits for the new season. Hanni emphasized that awareness campaigns will be organized for hunters before the season starts to ensure they take necessary precautions for their safety.
The hunting season for quail and rabbits will be closely monitored, with authorities urging hunters to respect environmental regulations and protect wildlife. Hanni expressed concerns over the removal of Article 13 from this year's regulations, which previously allowed hunters to hunt migratory birds in designated closed areas for rabbit, quail, and wild boar hunting.
The removal of Article 13 has raised concerns among hunters, who fear it may lead to accidents and limit their hunting areas. Hanni called on hunters to maintain cleanliness in hunting areas, protect the environment, and preserve wildlife to avoid administrative penalties, including license revocation.
