Italian term

cacciatore di selezione

Italian to English Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry controlled hunting
Ecco cos'è in italiano, non ho idea di come renderla:
"Per "caccia di selezione" si intende correntemente un tipo di caccia basata sul rispetto di un piano preordinato di abbattimento, diviso per classi di sesso e di età e redatto in base a censimenti e stime secondo un criterio scientifico. Un tipo di caccia quindi, che consente al cacciatore di operare una scelta del capo da abbattere. Si deve considerare la selezione come una parte essenziale della gestione delle popolazioni di ungulati selvatici. "

neutral Anthony Green : A selective hunter is after trophies (not what Francesco wants) rather than aiming to manage the population, which is what cullers/harvesters do.

I'm not sure if I get your point. Your answer includes the word selective. I'm just referring to the actual person.

selective harvesting

Taken from the 700-page bible on the topic, i.e. "Game Ranch Management" (see link with term harvesting). Section 10.4 in the book is "Selective harvesting of social, age and sex groups", which is exactly what you seem to be looking for.

"Selective harvesting" is a horrible term, the idea of harvesting animals as if they were wheat or tomatoes, but it is the one used specifically for this idea of herd-thinning

Francesco, your source text says "caccia di selezione" but your question says "cacciatore di selezione" which to me does not make much sense.

Peer comment(s):

agree Anthony Green : yes that's really good too (and not quite so euphemistic as mine).
