Dive into the world of driven hunts in Belgium. These occasions are exciting events that bring the local hunting community together. Here are some impressions…

of hunting,
hunters from different hunting grounds come together to assist their neighbors. Good planning, coordination, and signaling is vital for a driven hunt’s success.
The beaters
and their dogs
are responsible for pushing the game out of the thicket towards the shooters. In the aftermath, they also track down wounded game if any injured animals fled from the scene.

As Stefaan also covers longer distances when shooting, he opted for a Z8i 2,3-18x56 (with, BTF, SLP and TL). His EL Range 10x42 helps him to correctly measure how close or far away the game is. Thanks to Stefaan Rotthier for sharing some insights into driven hunts in Belgium with us!
