mackem 28,125 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 If you do ever travel to try it let us know how you get on I think with practice they are handy tools seen vids of fellers shooting pheasant and geese on the wing but the dove hunting with a bow is something else never seen owt like that in me life. Even if I do, I'm years away mate. I have to be fluent first in either French or Flemish & then pass a hunting exam. It's not like the UK here, where practically anyone can get a shotgun licence & crack on......Here, you actually have to know a bit ;-) What does the Belgian permit consist of? Good luck with it, itll be a great achievement I got my bow hunting ticket here, but it was like a lecture and then a bash. I don't know specifically mate. To officially hunt anything here with a gun you need to pass the exam & that covers Bowhunting. I get the impression the exam is a broad test of hunting & fauna knowledge, which can't be treated lightly?Did you have to outlay much for a decent Bow?The big archery shops sometimes have great sales,there was a shop in Ottawa called Le Baron,when I went in it was closing as Cabelas had opened almost on the doorstep and they couldn't compete,they had PSE bows for sale for around $300 Canadian,at the time that was under 200 quid. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,960 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 There must be a great feeling hunting and taking big game with a bow, be like stepping back in time and seeing how our ancestors hunted 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
