spade 224 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 We don't kill an animal in the hole. We catch the quarry without wound it. So here, we are using special tongs : the largest for the body, the little one for paws. They are made to be safe. At the end we can release the badger or dispatch it outside the terrier. Prise.jpg Blaise, what is the long pipe used for? Hope you have a good season. The long pipe is our phone. During the hunt, we hear the dog barking with. This pipe is introduced in the hole. It's used to speak at the dog too. We use it in two other ways. When you need to collapse near the dog (sand for example), first you introduce the pipe, so your dog has some air. Last way, at the end, when the dog is attached at the leash and badger stayed at the end of the tunnel. We tickle the badger with the pipe. Usually, badger goes out (50% success). Thanks for that Blaise, I had thought about getting air into a tube but not the other uses. Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,324 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Does your season finish soon blaise? & has it been a good one? The end of the season is the 15th of january. Before we'll have two hunts. A good season, three young dogs started. One's too hard and two very good workers. Except during july, all the hunts was good. We had good people and nice places. 1 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,324 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Off-season is very short. We hunt big game (boar) until the end of february. During march, we'll go to venerie meetings (with hounds). May be one or two hunt of foxes during april. And the badger season is open in may. 2 Quote Link to post

The 11 other months are too busy. 3 Quote Link to post
