From the forest or subtropical forest (that ends up being tropical in some corners of the north) until the puna and, above still, the snowy peaks of the mountain range, Jujuy offers a variety of lands for the practice of the hunt sport few times seen. As well as it varies the height and the conditions fitogeográficas, it also changes the fauna in such form that many times the tourist little avezado considers that you" it has left the province and of the climate."

In Jujuy we will be able to, like in several other counties of the northwest, preparing, clearing is, of the appropriate vehicle, to see a group of condors in a peak, on drains of thousands fall meters and at the relatively few hours of march one raked of pecaríes or" chanchos of the mount", one after other the small hooves marked in the soft mud of the banks, in the course of the San Francisco's distant tributary, to few meters high on the level of the sea.

The hunt, adult and smaller, it is subject to closing modalities that don't admit changes and that they should be respected for, not only to be able to fulfill the purpose venatoria but simply, and many times, to subsist. Such it happens when leaves in search of the big puma, of the chinchillón, or, simply, of the guaipo or keu, the" martineta" red, fat, almost a small hen that lives very high, beyond the 2.000 m . s.n.m., reason why the dog is taken crusader on the saddle tree of the seat of mounting and it will always be of smaller race (the Breton one and the vizsla are imposed). To the puma it rakes it to him when it has made a misdeed in such or which country property. One runs the voice and never lack who organizes the combing. For one it owes it to maintain relationship with the villagers. The same thing happens with the chancho of the mount or the brown corzuela.

The flat part and semiboscosa are the suitable one for the search of the small partridge, the wild duck, the rabbit of the sticks, the vizcacha and the common hare. In that area the hunt is developed in similar form to that of the plains of the south.

Automobiles are used to arrive previously to the same border of the selected fields. The most suitable months are those of full winter, although it should be pointed out that the hunt is carried out in this province, generally, up to September 30, to leave, like in the other of the 1 ° of May of every year.

The Direction of Forests, Hunts and Fishes, Division Fauna, gives the strange hunters a route leaf that serves as sworn declaration and in which should settle the obtained number of pieces, place, dates and personal data of the payee.

The hunt in the high mountain demands a calculation the most approximate thing possible of the distances and the relative delay in returning. The changes of the address of the wind can mean temperature drops of dozens of grades.

The hunter will should therefore, when he carries out long marches for the summits, to be summoned of an appropriate team to spend the night and of a sufficiently proven guide. One of the fundamental enemies is the fog. The most suitable resource will be, when saying of veteran of the area," to unsaddle until it clarifies." That simple formula gaucho will avoid an erratic and risky march for the horseman and the mount.

To complete this outline we should point out that also in this province they have been carried out and they are carried out studies and statistical in charge of sport entities and in some cases of interested matters in the installation of wild species as the red deer and the European boar, starting from facilities already acclimatized by being of local origin. This studies in all the cases have not been given to publicity and they possibly only know once each other unified the whole regulation.
