Kents wild boar

[Bavarianbrit]

Here in Bavaria they are looked on by farmers and hunters as a pest to be controlled. The hunters do, as has been the case for many years have to pay the farmers for damage to the fields or crops caused by game animals from roe red fallow badgers and boars. It can worst case run into 20K€s, be careful of what you wish for.

The only place I can see their range expanding is in northern Scotland. As I understand it they are now north of Inverness. With vast areas of forestry and farmland in the lower areas, it gives them more scope and space and more of a chance to expand their range in my opinion.

Down here, especially in the SE, its farmland and small wooded areas, and as soon as they show up, they get shot, without, no doubt, in some cases whether its a sow with piglets.

Is that really so very different from paying for stalking rights?

I guessing paying for stalking rights is a set fee over a set term- if boar getting into a crop of oil seed rape could get a bill of £10 k .

I hear the farmers around his estate are fuming because he offers the safe refuge and the surrounding farmers provide their food and get the fields damaged. Hey-ho a vegan without the ability to connect the dots.

if it wasn't for Ringo......

I think the fee for damage is on top of the syndicate fee.

Hey, they pay for their stalking rights Here it is 6€ per Ha then they get hit on top with damage bills if they cannot keep the wildlife off from the crops/trees, basically an unpaid forester.
