Something new at the Lévignac/Saint-Pierre hunting society! 

 

After a few years as president of the Lévignac/Saint-Pierre hunting society, Roger FRAMARIN has decided to step down. We thank him and his entire team for the work accomplished. In July 2022, in order to maintain this association, a new board was elected under the presidency of Christian GIGNOL. A new dynamic is emerging with the entry of young people from the commune into the association. However, part of the old board remained in place to ensure a smooth handover and facilitate contacts with local hunting stakeholders as well as with landowners in the two communes. ​ 

 

An important regulatory objective 

 

One of the missions of our association is the regulation of populations of large animals and ESOD (Species Likely to Cause Damage). Indeed, a large population of big game is being established in our town. Deer and wild boars are numerous and it is not uncommon to come across them at night, both on our small country roads and on the D708. A real danger for EVERYONE. Despite the pleasure of seeing these magnificent animals in our countryside, their presence on the side of the roads remains a real danger. An increase in accidents related to collisions would be a real disaster for the entire population. 

 

Farmers also need hunters. What would our countryside be without all these cultivated fields? These same fields that bring so much diversity and color throughout the seasons. But crops are also impacted by the population of these large animals! The hunting society, with the help of those around it, has a real mission to protect and regulate these species. A hunting plan has therefore been in place for several years in order to regulate the number of individuals for a perfect balance between nature and agriculture. 

 

Finally, many Levignacais or Saint-Pierrois have a farmyard well stocked with chickens, roosters, ducks, geese and other poultry.... The management of the ESOD population (foxes, martens, crows, badgers) is therefore another important issue so that everyone can enjoy their small breeding without suffering damage. ​ 

 

Of course, the safe word is SAFETY ! 

 

Very important for everyone, it allows you to feel confident during family walks on the communal paths. 

To carry out all of its missions, the hunting society organizes, in compliance with the regulations in force, collective hunts or hunts from a blind in the territory of Lévignac-de-Guyenne / Saint-Pierre-sur-Dropt. 

It is therefore of capital importance for the leaders of the hunting society to carry out these operations in complete transparency and in the greatest respect for safety rules. Strict instructions are given before each collective hunt in order to ensure the safety of all users of nature. 

 

• During the hides, the owners and mayors of the two municipalities are notified. 

• If a collective hunt is in progress, it is indicated by information signs, by a message to the mayors of the two municipalities, and all hunters wear outfits with a fluorescent orange safety element. 

 

Any breach of these rules must be reported to the town hall, which will relay it to the hunting society. 

The sharing of natural spaces is a priority issue for the future of our countryside. It is therefore important to do this intelligently and courteously, while respecting the values ​​of the latter. ​ 

 

This is why all hunters in the municipality have been asked to respect these commitments of good behavior. It is a collective effort and it goes without saying that when meeting on the territory, respect and courtesy must be values ​​shared by all users of nature.
