Richie10 345 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I thought they didn't allow coursing in france, blasting hares only. Quote Link to post

chester 147 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 dont see why not the still pack hunt in france. http://www.gourmetfly.com/Venerie.htm http://www.shootingtimes.co.uk/features/315620/Hunting_the_hare_in_France.html Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well hare coursing is banned in france... yet it is also banned here!! It would be very dificult to get caught there it is so vast, and sometimes you dont see anyone for miles and miles... on lush land. The only thing i can say is you have done better than us at sighting them. used to travel all over france in the camper. And only ever came across one area in the dordogne valley that had a good number of them. A good friend of mine has a farm there in the middle of france. and he says rabbits are scarse and hares even more so... They do hunt wild bore there, with some good deer hunts thrown in also.

runforyourlife 361 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 In fact when i think about we spotted far more deer than we did hare in france.... Quote Link to post

The problem is getting it back into the u.k. I am sure you would have to have the dog inspected in france by a defra recognised vet and have it treated for ticks and worms no less than 24 hrs and no more than 48 hours before your return! It don't matter if the dog is already up to date with this in the u.k!!!! It still must be done!!!!!this means you would have to stay in france for a full 24hrs after treatment and also pay the vet 60 euro for the pleasure!!!!!! This is a real pain in the arse but ultimately should mean we don't get rabies in the u.k. Quote Link to post
