As a terrierman with rural way of life, I'm not sure the law of London is better than the law of Europe.

Learn the language is just an alternative, embrace the culture is an obligation.

We made a little hole withe a bar, the stop end wasn't deep. Thus badger enlarged this little hole but it stayed inside.

During the hunt, badger decided to dig to escape. https://www.(!64.56:886/permalink.php?story_fbid=1123522331023063&id=202445929797379&comment_id=1123524287689534¬if_t=share_comment¬if_id=1465802055658352

Yes, it's used to listen to the badger or the dog. When you have an intersection, you can try each tunnel to find the good one. At the end of the hunt, when dog is out, we use it to tease the badger until it goes out. Last purpose, when the dog is still in a tunnel, you can put the pipe in before to collapse the sand ground. So, dog keeps some air.

yu must have a good few dogs about yu blaise. Good work I congratulate those who provided me dogs.

Meeting of young french terriermen. Good guys with a great knowledge. They have been searching during 4 hours before to dig.
-
If it's a good place and a good stop end, we restore the tunnel with woods before the dirt.

She stay always to ground. We haven't seen her for a second.

Yes, badgers who know dogs are a bit more difficult to hunt. But I know some guys who release 100% of badgers. They come back each year on the same place whitout fear.

Sometimes we are failing despite the work of the dog. Last season, 5 days without any badger, they were in the terrier but we failed. Sometimes, just one badger for all the day. Few times more, all the clan in the same stop end. This proves that badger hunting has nothing to do with badger baiting. If a dog is able to stay two hours or more with 6 or 7 badgers in the same tunnel, there's no fight. Otherwise, the dog would be destroyed and killed. According to me, badger has just one weak spot, just one. The weak spot is self-confidence, a too large assurance. So badgers are waiting with t

Yesterday, 5 hours with one bitch to catch one badger. 3 holes. 2.5 m to cut a cross, another one 2.5 m and the last one 0.9 m.

I reckon the most important thing you need is a capable terrier that will stay with the game and hold it in a stop no luck involved at all but then you also need the man power to dig to the dog.How many digs a week would ye usually get in the hunting season or have ye a limit that you have to stick to. Last season 2015, we hunted 38 days. We dug an total of 108 meters (350 feet). Average 2,8 meters per day (9 feet). 102 attacks (an attack is the work of one dog, so you can see we hunt with 2 or 3 dogs during the day).

To have luck to catch numerous badgers in a single hunt, you need two things : obviously a numerous family but a good and long end of tunnel. This special form of tunnel is a success key.

Each team is working his own way. We hunt with one dog. If the dog goes out and leaves the badger, this dog is put in the box and we try with another one. I hunt with a second dog in one rare case. If I can't hear the first dog for a long time (3 or 4 hours), I try to introduce a second dog, a very talkative one. Just in order to locate the first one. During our last hunt, we began with Iris a little patterdale bitch. She'd worked 9:30 to12:15. But the badger was ever moving, impossible to block. We dug three holes in order to cut the hunt. When the first badger went out, the bitch was

Blaise you are lucky men in that you can legally dig to badger.Can i ask an honest question,i realise you dont use locaters on your terriers thats your choice or laws but on a dig how many drops would you make to eventually reach dog and game as in holes dug,just cutious as i can remember pre-locator digging to terriers and it was not always a 1 hole job. Locator isn't allowed here. Electronic devices aren't allowed whatever type of hunt. It's always a great debate on this forum. We have to be agree on one fact : the hunt must be run in a different way. In France, we dig larger hol

One badger bolted by bitch, another bolted by the dog and 3 others in the end.

No link with terrier but... Weather is unsual cold these days in France. It's dangerous for vines. In Burgundy, they're spraying water on the vines during the night. Ice around burgeons protect the tender plant inside. Another way, the most famous places (Chablis grand crus) are heated with a lot of small fire. Mens and womens are fighting freeze during all the nights. Look at these pics from Aurelien Ibanez https://www.(!64.56:886/media/set/?set=a.1317290344954298.1073741834.520266094656731&type=3
