    It's like the beginning of an end. With such game some things between dogs and boar will be banned.

    It could be two superimposed footprints. And in that case it could be an ungulate.

    Impossible to answer, A good hunt may be between 1 and 3 hours and 15 or 30 km.

    They bring the boar to bay. But, at the end, hounds are very closer and wild boar keeps his last forces to fight. Men must go quickly with spear.

    Vautrait is the name for boar hunting with hounds. Piqu'Avant Bretagne is a young crew in Brittany but very interesting.

    Another hunt, we used a bar and a lump hammer. I hold the crowbar, not a nice place. In this case, it had been a success : we took the dog and after the badger (legally because in France). I have few experiences of terriers under rock or concrete.

    Try to break the rock directly with a big sledge hammer but you have to be careful it may be dangerous if you are on the dog. Try to work behind the dog. We did the job during a hunt this year.

    Concerning size "anglo-francais de petite vènerie" (48-56 cm) is under the foxhound (58-64 cm according FCI). The "anglo-francais" and "poitevin" used for deer or boar are bigger (60-70 cm). What happens if caught hunting the hare with lurcher in France ? I don't know, money at first, may be the end of your hunting license. It's dangerous to play with the law concerning hunting. Population of hares have decreased seriously since the 70's. So the season of hunt with shotguns is very short. Three week-ends at the end of september. But hunting with hounds is yet possible until march.

    In France we have different types of bassets. "Basset hound" is one of them, the dog on your pic may be a "basset artesien normand" according to our types. Sometimes we have two types of dogs under the same name ; a basset type and a big one. For example, "basset bleu de gascogne" (35 cm) and "grand bleu de gascogne" (70 cm). An other example, "basset fauve de bretagne" and "griffon fauve de bretagne"

    Very good, it's what we call macadam dogs. These hounds are Bruno du Jura. It isn't like basset hounds. The basset hound was used for hunting with shotguns. Basset have a very good nose and very strong voice. But you can't catch an hare with a pack of basset hounds, too slow.

    The French territory is organized with 101 departements. The hunting season with shotgun may be different on each departement. Usually, we hunt hare with shotgun from the end of september to the beginning of october, a short season. But the season for the hunt with hounds is the same every where : from the 15th of september to the end of march. The same season for deer, boar, roe, fox, rabbit and hare with hounds. Be careful, it's a bit hard to have the authorizations to be able to hunt with hounds. There are rules concerning number of dogs, housing for dogs, lands... Most of the teams hun

    It's so difficult to catch a hare with hounds that the team is allowed to hunt from september to the end of march. The team must be invited by the land owner. In France you can't use some dogs which can run faster than hare. The Greyhounds are banned. In fact, the hare is chased until it made a mistake. In most of the hunts, hare wins. Success may be between 10% or 25% if the pack is good. Some are hunting without any success during all the season, just for the fun of running with dogs. This team is hunting twice a week, sometimes three days.
