Can someone remind me when the hunting season is in France. Is it October to the end of March or does it go on later than that.

thank you

Anne

The general period de chasse ends on the last day of February, there is of course a bit more to it than that, badgers and creatures classified as nuisances are generally "hunted" throughout most of the year.

Thank you Chris, it is mainly deer that are hunted around us during the winter so hopefully that should end tomorrow.

Very interesting report Nicos and so terribly sad.

Very interesting report Nicos and so terribly sad. Thankfully, we also don't get many hunters around here, those that we do see appear to be quite responsible. Actually had a male pheasant at the back of the house yesterday. Garden bird list now up to 47.

Hmmmm...........sorry about the double entries, think I got up too early today !!!!!

I've been meaning to compile a list of birds observed in our garden for ages. When i've got a minute i'll try and do it. Would be interesting to compare regions.

It is great that the hunting season ends today and as I lost one of my goats to hunting dogs I will be glad to to know there are less about but I do also think about the poor dogs who after getting one run out a week for a couple of months will now be confined to a kennel and cage for months on end.

So good news and bad really.

Panda- I know what you mean.
'We' have a small pack of about 10 dogs who are tied up ,on chains , outside all year . Some of them are in runs but most of them are beneath the tree for protection.
Even the locals feel sorry for them.
The highlight of their days are the twice daily feeds. Poor things.
