dustyfox Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have a mate who is soon moving to France, his house and garden need a bit of fixing. I have said to him that I will be happy to take the trees and some of the shrubs out for him. When I finish he said I can stay at his for a couple of weeks But I am just wondering what you need to go wild boar hunting over there (do you need a certificate or can you hire one. or is it that same over here I am guessing as both are in the EU they wil be the same.

Dunkield Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Funny you should ask, it seems there is such a thing as a European FAC and you can get one FOC when you renew, I will be doing this when mine comes in in the New Year, my mate has just got one as he is off to Luxemburg today pig shooting. You may or may not need one I can't be sure, we shot in Croatia and didn't need one - hopefully someone can give you a more useful answer than that.

me and my lad Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 most of the small areas have organised boar hunts, dont think its much of a problem to get in with them, was one of the first things we asked when we were looking out there. where's he going ?

Dunkield Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am sure you will anyway, but make sure the cost of decent hog is all agreed before you hunt, I have heard some horror stories of people shooting a nice one and being presented with a large bill for their efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Limoges? Massif Central? Just make sure that you don't go and buy a .308 for the occaision. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the French don't like people using military calibres on animals. Go and buy an Extrema 2 Slug from somewhere instead...
