Flemish Hunting Association Seeks Permission to Hunt Wild Boars with Bows and Arrows
The Flemish hunting association Hubertus Vereniging Vlaanderen is advocating for permission to hunt wild boars using bows and arrows, arguing that this method offers greater safety in residential areas compared to firearms. Christophe Rutsaert of the association compares the approach to a plumber's toolkit, suggesting hunters should have the option to select the most appropriate tool for specific situations. The proposal aims to reduce noise and disturbance while limiting the effective range of weapons near homes. Flemish Environment Minister Jo Brouns has requested expert advice on the matter and will make a final decision based on these recommendations.
