If you ask AI what Forestry Englands stance on hunting is you get the following response:

Forestry England's stance on hunting is complex, balancing various interests including wildlife conservation, visitor safety, and sustainable timber production. They have a formal agreement with the Masters of Fox Hounds Association (MFHA) for trail hunting, which is legal in England but suspended while the Forestry England Board decides its future, according to Forestry England. They also manage permissions for trail and drag hunting in their forests.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Trail Hunting:

Forestry England allows trail hunting in their forests, but it's suspended while their board decides the future of this practice.

Permissions:

They control trail hunting with permissions and licenses, working with the Masters of Fox Hounds Association (MFHA).

Clean Boot Hunts:

Clean boot hunts, involving artificial scent trails, may continue under the Masters of Draghounds and Bloodhounds Association (MDBA).

Illegality:

Hunting wild mammals with dogs, including fox hunting, is illegal in England and Wales under the Hunting Act 2004.

Deer Hunting:

Hunting deer and stags with dogs is illegal since 2004.

Feral Wild Boar:

Feral wild boar on Forestry England land can only be shot by authorized rangers.

Public Safety:

Forestry England emphasizes safety in their forests, including for those involved in hunting activities.

Wildlife Conservation:
