Rules of conduct set at regional level
Distances, driven hunts and signalling fall to each Region's implementing orders, to be read before taking part.
Hunting safety follows the same division as everything else: it falls to each Region, through its implementing orders rather than the basic text. The two founding acts mainly lay down prohibitions on means — Walloon Article 8, which notably bans hunting by motor vehicle, and Flemish Article 19, which allows only means authorised by the Government. The rules of conduct themselves — distances to observe, organisation and signalling of driven hunts, conditions for taking a shot, duties towards third parties present on the ground — are set by regulation and therefore differ between Wallonia and Flanders. A hunter moving from one Region to the other cannot carry over their habits: they must re-read the applicable regional rules and the instructions of whoever is leading the hunt.
