Fédération Départementale des Chasseurs Creuse

FDC23, the Fédération départementale des chasseurs de la Creuse, is the departmental hunting federation based in Guéret, France. It serves hunters and hunting associations across the Creuse, providing information, practical services and resources related to hunting and wildlife management. Its work includes supporting hunting activities, administering hunting permit examinations and validations, and offering training and guidance for accompanied hunting.

Members and territory managers can use its online subscriber area, while hunters, farmers and residents can report damage attributed to wildlife through the site. FDC23 also publishes information on huntable species, the departmental hunting and wildlife management plan, and current news and events. Its territory exchange platform lists hunting-area offers and requests, and its website provides forms, downloads, equipment and pricing information.

Beyond member services, the federation highlights conservation and biodiversity initiatives, nature education resources, and local hunting events. It also shares information about wildlife in the Creuse, including species of concern such as the raccoon. Through these services, FDC23 connects hunters, local organizations and the wider community
