Nothing happens when you click it on my phone. All joking aside, I'd love to be over there for a week or 2.

Aye that worked. Is that still alive?

[mushroom 14,163]

Not sure... If it is, it's not got long left

[baw 4,360]

don't want it to look like I haven't been reading your posts but is that how they hunt, mob handed, full village? I'm guessing with the noise it's mostly trapping and snaring they do?

Think more like the lads that posted the thread about hunting in Hungary.

 

They set up a couple of guys in strategic spots up ahead (could be 3-4 kilometers) then set the dogs off with one guy running through the jungle keeping up with them (a bloody feat of endurance if I ever saw one) And behind this guy and the dogs is a line of people who seem to stay behind just enough making noise and whatever. Then either the dogs will catch something and bail it up or lock on until "Dogman" arrives or the guys in position take running shots at the fleeing quarry..

 

Nothing is wasted from the carcases

 

Edited to add only the men are allowed on the hunt from the village all the women you can see/hear are part of the project to teach the kids

Very remote mate it's in the jungle in the Yucatan peninsular. and no not Celtic but there was a guy wearing a Man U apparently :laugh:

A right, must be keeping the Celtic one for Sundays interesting wife you have pal, bet you can't wait to hear all about they hunts. Takes some balls to do what she's doing

Good post mushroom, interesting how they have evolved hunting techniques to suit thick forest. I know that in some areas they use long nets along with a few people waiting to ambush game, also rather than just beat they set fires to drive game into them. Its supposed to work better in old clearings from slash and burn farming methods with thicker re-growth. As the Mrs to see if use nets there .

After the Mrs told the village elders about my interest in hunting they have extended an open invite for me to go and stay with them and hunt with them so guess I'll 1) need to get a go pro & 2) a flight :laugh: You want a job doing do it yourself

She hasn't seen any net use but she will ask when she's back up there this weekend, so you'll have to wait a couple of days for a proper answer

[mushroom 14,163]

Also the mrs has asked to to request again that if any of you can share any videos. She leaves for the village tomorrow round about this time, for the last time for a few months.

 

I guarantee nothing will find it's way onto the net, it is purely for a teaching exercise. Anything can be sent to me anonymously (links included). The idea is she is going to use an ipad to show the men and children how Brits do it and the difference in the dogs that are cared for properly and respected by their masters. So retrieves to hand whether gundogs or Lurchers, courses, catches etc the idea is the composure of the dogs and what can be achieved.
