It's done with scissors, a real work when you have 100 dogs in the kennel.

Boar is known for jumping length but not height, this video proves that it is wrong.

i've always owned a teckel for boar hunting. Very good nose, applied. In France teckels are used to research blood, to stalk or to dig out. But they are specialized. Generaly, we have standard wire hair.

Very appreciated ! For a long time, french went in UK to find some dogs to cross with their own lines or to have pure english lines (harrier, beagle, black and tan). Concerning terrier, we had nothing, we have used english breeds or from germany. Concerning hounds we have a lot of breeds. But among these breeds, a lot had been crossed sometimes with hounds from UK. Usually, french hounds are very well for nose and voice, english ones better for speed, hot-blooded. One of our famous hound breed is named anglo-francais, every thing is in this name.

Is this the same as our 'Harbourer' when stag hunting the UK? to find a suitable Stag to hunt on the day? Generally, they can't see the animal. The dog can smell the scent and the man can look at the footprint or the marks on the trees.

not a newbie.

@ ludo natureetvenerie A man and his limier looking for a scent in the morning before the hunt. Back, it isn't a religious cross but a signpost.

A lot of hounds there, do they hunt 6 days a week or do they take more hounds hunting each day than we do in the uk? The crew hunt twice a week, may be 50 or 60 hunts each year. Vautrait de banassat is the biggest crew, may be 200 dogs in the kennel, 450 kg of meat for each meal. This breed is Poitevin. There are three works for dogs in this kind of hunt : - early in the morning, faire le pied (to the foot). 5 or 6 guys with each a very wise dog usually on a leash, they are walking through the paths in the forest. These dogs are named limier and the guys valet de limier. They sear

During two years, French Government paid 12 € for each badger killed in the area where we had bovis tuberculosis in Burgundy. Badgers were catched with snare.

What's Your Worst Experience While Out With The Terriers??
Blaise replied to Jake w's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The badger tried to escaped at the end, i caught it but the hand in the jaws of the badger... Urgency, hospital. Not to serious but a good lesson. -
Exactly and these kind of assholes are more and more in Europe.

Today my two sons and friends went to hunt without me. A meeting restricted to less than 20 years. They took few of my dogs and all the tools, the car... Goodbye the old. They catched two foxes and, afternoon, the badger jumped out and escaped. Probably an undesireable too old badger. ;-)

Raccoon dog from Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon_dog) is different of raccoon from North America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon.). Few raccoon dogs are in the north-east of france, there are raccoon too, the two species are classified as pest.

This season we had 27 hunting day, we will have 2 days more before the end (35 for the previous season). We dug 79 meters or 260 ft this season (124 meters or 407 ft in 2012). We have been a bit better or more fortunate : 2,9 meter or 9,5 ft per day in average this season (3,6 m or 11,8 ft per day in 2012). That's the average, it's very different day after day, between 1 meter to 8 - 3 to 26 ft. The real hunting time reach to 101 hours, it's only the working time of the dogs (the time for catching the badger, to dispatch, to rebuilt the terrier, to clean the place, to have a drink or

A reply for the title... Since few years, i make statistics of all my hunts (badgers). Hunting time for each dog, depth dug, game catched... For each dog, I can say exactly how many time he had been used, how long or how deep. I do it for all the dogs, the best and the worst. But you can't compare with other statistics because it depends too much of what you measure, de type of soil, the risk that you accept and sometimes the chance... Inside your own statistics, you have to be very cautious. For example, il you keep your best dog for the more difficult, statistics of your best do

matador.gif I have a captive bolt, discrete, no risk, very fast, efficient. The animal don't suffer. Some use a 9mm rifle here, more dangerous if you are in group. Some others use a dagger after stunned the game but you must be very familiar. We never leave a living badger to the dogs. The places where badgers aren't too many, you can release the animal. Catching is the success, it isn't a shame to release in forest (never in the farm land). I want a lawyer !
