BASC Wild Boar Course

[Stalker62]

Anybody done it?

Useful CPD, or two days you are never getting back?



More importantly; is there a Badge and Certificate?





And do you have to be able to spell - trick noses, triknsis Trichinosis?

I did after Miffy said he enjoyed it, The bonus was, only three of us were on it at "The Mill"., & OH, Yes, there is a badge and a certificate

I did the online version with the NGO, mainly as something to do on dark winter evenings. Within that context well worth doing and you do get a shiny little badge to go with your DSC1 & 2 ones!

I did the online version with the NGO...

I understand with the BASC Course, there is some form of shooting test included.





With the one notable exception, any time behind the trigger can only be a good thing...

 

[Stalker62]

The bonus was, only three of us were on it at "The Mill".

The 'bumf' I have read, says the course will be cancelled if insufficient folk sign up for it.

The NGO boar distance learning package is returning 404 errors and there are no assessment days appearing in the Events listings

That's a lot...

Wild boar, 'ardest quarry in the world, innit.....



Of course not that you'll be anything like Archie, the pub bore, as you regale us with all the anecdotes and snippets you've learned about sus scrofa!

 

[Jamouk]

Yes was good ! Don't remember a shooting test

The bumf says to bring 50 rounds...

You can never have too many badges!!! ( Unless they say Jim and mention fixing things)

"Bring 50 rounds" is presumably only advisory?

That’s the result of finnbear’s course

I'm curious to know who, and where recognizes it, and where it would be a benefit ?

There is little opportunity to hunt boar in the UK, and what is available is predominantly, if not all, night shooting, and those who do offer it, to my knowledge, have yet to indicate any interest, or requirement for anyone to have it ?

Now, if having the certificate opened up shooting opportunities on Forestry Commission ground in the FOD, I'll sign up tomorrow !!!

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Will this cover UK driven boar? Asking for a friend.

Absolutely no idea.

I just do this stuff for the joy of learning, a couple of days out of my wife’s hair, a bit of “trigger” time and perhaps the craic.
