Thread: Hunting in France. Differences to NZ. Just for reference

I feel NZ dose have a certain right to roam policy.
Go into any national park and you can go of track and walk freely where ever you want, so long as you stay in the park boundaries that’s one of the joys of hunting in NZ.
England dose not have a right to roam policy! But they do have a lot of footpaths, bridle ways and green lanes. Which means that you can walk across most of England. These tracks cross private land. The land owner cannot block our move these right of ways. Even if the owner has crops on them. They must still leave a clear line of access. If they have cattle in the paddock then they must leave a cow with any bull.
As a walker you only have the right to walk on the footpaths and you must keep your dog under close supervision.
As a hunter you can shoot over these footpaths. So long as you don’t hinder our frighten users. This dose not mean that a user can block stop the hunters shooting party. This would then fall into trespass and social disorder. (The local shoot which I’m involved in has two footpath and a bridle way running through it so we are very clued up on the law and what we can and can’t do)! We also have a track that runs through the shoot that is used by the public this is closed for one day a year so that it dose not become a footpath.
Scotland on the other hand dose have a right to roam policy.
Not sure about Wales.
