spartacus 22 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello blaise , is terrier work practiced all over France where is it most popular and where would the highest population of badgers be? Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,253 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hello blaise , is terrier work practiced all over France where is it most popular and where would the highest population of badgers be? We haven't badgers in moutains (more than 2.000 m), nor in Corsica. They are very few in the South East (Provence, Languedoc near Mediteranean Sea). Except these places, Badgers are common all over in France but may be with lower density than some places in GB. The Badger's hunt is very usual in West and center regions (Normandy, Centre, Pays de Loire, Bretagne, Auvergne...). Less in south and rare in the North-East. Consequently, I'm the happiest among badger's hunter. I'm hunting in the Nord-East, we have good badgers populations and no competition. In some places, the terriermen teams are numerous. It could be difficult. They release a lot of badgers to keep the population. "No kill" hunting. 2 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,253 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've 4 jack russell, 2 little size and 2 parson type, from 3 different lines. The best one's the little bitch on the pic. Too hard to hunt foxs but very involved with badgers. Unfortunately, she don't pass the qualities to its progeny, we tried twice. My jacks vs my patts... Jacks are perhaps quicker, Patterdales are able to hunt longer. My Jacks are sometimes inconstant and my Patts lack a bit voice. Here the voice is very important because we hunt without collar. But I'm very happy with these two breed, Some are marvelous workers. 1 Quote Link to post
