  4. Driven Boar Hunting

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted

    I have had a cancellation for the January trip to Spain. Leaving on the 5th, back on the 10th. 2 days driven boar hunting.

     

    1 place available for a dog handler.

    I know there are lads on here with bulldogs, wheatens, or just plain terriers that might want the chance to experience catching boar with their dogs, and at a very good price too!

     

    We have spare cut-vests

     

    PM for more info... but dont delay, we need to act quick to get things sorted in time.

    Good hunting

  7. Driven Boar Hunt, January

    Ive had a cancellation for our January hunt due to the lads ill health.

     

    There is one place available for a dog handler. For 2 days driven game hunting in Spain.

     

    We leave on the 5th, back on the 10th. Travel and accommodation is all included. But we need to move quickly to get you insured and licensed to hunt in Spain.

     

    This would suit a novice dog who is wanting experience with boar hunting. I can taylor your experience to meet your requirements.

     

    PM me, for details, feel free to ask any questions.

    I had spaniels, cocker, and springers. I added the terrier blood to give more hunting range, and better ability to follow the line, also voice.

     

    Im my eyes spaniels are close-range dogs, though Ive seen some wilder specimens that might pass for beagles lol but usually they tend to work very close (as hunting dogs go).

     

    downsouth, I used mine for everything like you do, and I found them willing and able for most stuff, my cocker even got keen on going to ground and I dug him (up at quarry) a couple of times, and stuck in the pipe a handful of times!! Foxes were his demise in the end. sadly. He was a trooper that dog. Very keen.

    Yeah expect a chilly wind and cold temps.

     

    I hear there are plenty of boar about just now. but they are causing concern with a local farmer

     

    Also, we get to keep all the boar/game we catch and share it between ourselves. I will arrange the permits which are needed for travelling with game meat in Spain, to certify that its not commercial.

    Its not far from Zaragoza, about 30 mins easterly or so. The hills are not big. Its similar looking to the pic above but stumpier hills, no steep stuff or cliffs on the land, but its rocky, bushy, thorny, with pine in some of the small gullies, so can be rough going for sure.

    There was a one similar in size that nearly had me off the crag during a day out with Collie/Grey!

     

    lol they are bad tempered aren't they... one gave my yellow dog a black eye the size of an egg,and dragged him off the hill... some power!

    I also got my strychnine ticket in 1998 :thumbs: , I only did 2 farms with it and just kept hearing of too many 'incidents' regarding the stuff. It just didn't seem right to me, bit like cheating I suppose? I also work on mainly unimproved grasslands, in sensitive areas and keepered estates and in my opinion trapping is best for these areas. I am not saying chemicals don't work, I know they do, all too well, but as I get older, I find it important to stick to traditional methods.
    I should lighten up a bit maybe, as I have turned really anti-chemicals/poisons, I just don't like the way the world is heading. I mean, theres a chap local, he will turn up at the farm, ask where the rats are, chuck a heap of bait down, invoice, then leave. In my opinion this is veering away from what pest control is all about. As a profession, there seems to be no youngsters coming through with any real skill in setting good traps, knowing their quarry, how to catch them, its all about 'time efficiency', cost effective', quick results' = poisons.

    There really are some proper twats on here, I've never poisoned a mole in my life and never will, as Matt says I only trap them and have done for a living the last sixteen years.

    My bad mole trapper, sorry... thought you were saying that you often used it just read it wrong... I hate poisons lol and yes Matt I would prefer to litter the place with very well-set traps, and do what I could with their 'home base', Ive had big rat jobs and eventually you little them away, by a range of methods, but I didn't charge the earth for my time as I often found it was also my main hobby. Too much time on my hands perhaps.

    Sorry for the ill-thought out post earlier, I just hate to see traditional methods loosing out to poisons and gas etc pet hate thats all.

     

    Good trapping
