Each has its own habits. A hunt depends on the structure of the terrier more than the skill of the game. Long stop-end means good hunt, short stop hunt middling, without stop-end it's bad. So before to leave a set, be careful. Never reduce a good stop-end. Just IMO. After rains and rains, stones and earth will be welded 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Blaise, in your photos there's always some young lads and girls. Do they have a real keen interest ? Can you see terrierwork being healthy in France in 30 or 40 years time ? Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,324 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Blaise, in your photos there's always some young lads and girls. Do they have a real keen interest ? Can you see terrierwork being healthy in France in 30 or 40 years time ? Yes, we have a lot of young in badger hunting. It's a great hope. Each year, between 60 and 70 new teams are created (the same number disappeared, so we stay around 1.500 teams in France). Most of the young are very involved. But for the futur, I'm more cautious. It'll depend on spread of vegan ideology (more dangerous for my way of life than muslim radicals because it's insidious). This major problem concerns all the rural life, farmers, hunters, fishers, foresters, animal breeders, riders... 6 Quote Link to post

Good to see the youth taking an interest in the hunting game,around me there more into doing harm and causing trouble.There was a young lad that was very keen a few year back but he got to an age where he started geting interested in girls then there was only 1 hole on his mind and it did not hold a badger,lol. 7 Quote Link to post

spade 224 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi Blaise, I was in France over the summer and attended the Fete de la Chasse at Briel near Samaur. It was a real eye opener into how you guys hunt over there. A fantastic day. 1 Quote Link to post
