Hunting season activities in France

Overview

Hunting seasons have commenced across various French regions. In Seine-et-Marne and Ludres, the 2026-2027 season was scheduled to begin on September 20, 2026, with specific schedules established for large game, foxes, and wild boar.

As the season officially opens, multi-generational groups have begun activities such as hare hunting in Saint-Maurice-en-Rivière, where hunters noted that morning dew provided favorable conditions despite dry terrain. In Saint-Aignan, Morbihan, the local hunting association held its general assembly, re-electing President Jean-Michel Le Bihan for a sixth term. The association reported a membership decrease to 17 hunters and announced that funds previously used for pheasant releases will be reallocated to cover veterinary expenses for wild boar hunts.

In other areas, such as Vallérargues, the wild boar season is already underway, with reports highlighting the physical risks posed to hunting dogs by large males with developed tusks. In the Orne department, the season has brought together hunters of diverse ages, though the region is seeing a demographic shift. While new permits are issued annually, the total number of hunters in Orne is experiencing a steady annual decline of approximately 1% to 3%.
