Truffle Hunting..?

[Bosun11 537]

Just been watching a couple of clips on you tube with truffle hunters in the UK and just wondered if anyone on here has done it, or has a dog that is natural or trained to do it?

Isn't it only certain types of woodland where you can find them like old beech woods or something? It shouldn't be too hard a thing to teach a dog but I doubt the same dog could be used for hunting.

I don't think the English truffle is worth what the French and Italian ones are,,, that said there still Worth a bit,,, I was also interested in this,,, but unlike bosun,,it WAS about money,,lol

 

Some young lad and his dad are very good at it, read about them on line the kids very good at finding them,, the English ones can just been seen above ground,, there not totally underground if I remember right..

 

They have started cultivating them by infecting the roots of trees with the spoors,, so they can farm them,,,

I once heard that now the wild boar are back, the truffle numbers should start to increase, I don't know if that's true I hope so,
