Please note, there is no obligation to register your hunt on this site and this mapping only concerns big game hunting. The one for small game will not be listed on the Walloon geoportal.” Because small game shooting is done with shot and with a range of only 60 to 70 meters“, notes Benoît Petit. The danger for the public is therefore much less than with bullet shooting for big game, explains the president of the Royal Saint-Hubert Club of Belgium.
Details from the police zone: “Hunting near homes is authorized. Only shooting within 200 meters and in the direction of homes is prohibited.”
