For me it was the 1st February. For my cousin (distant from 150 km) it'll the 15th March.

The season was the highest in history. We broke the record last year and this year was far better.

On our territory 2006 145 boars, 2007 195, 2008 260.
My neighbours ,in Neuwiller, 2008 240, 2009 360 boars.

In every region of France the boar is striving and causing unbearable depredations. In the past 1000 0000 boars were shot per year, I suppose the count is around 1.3 M this year.

JB, well done my friend.

Boar populations seem to be building up all over Europe. Any reason for this? Milder winters?
