Italian term or phrase: caccia di valle
A text for a company producing hunting equipment.

This is one of the categories of hunting that it provides for, which appears to be primarily about shooting waterfowl.

The company's website in English uses the term "valley shooting" but I can't find this used elsewhere and other translations online have simply avoided translating it.

Typical phrase: È adatta in modo particolare alla caccia di valle.

lagoon hunting


Explanation:
I'm going with the translation of 'valle' as lagoon, which could fit in with the waterfowl connection

'Marsh' is another possibility for valle, but really it depends on your context
