Parce que l'usage d’une arme à feu n’ était à l'époque pas privilégié pour tuer un gibier – excepté en cas de danger manifeste pour la vie du veneur ou de ses chiens – le rôle des armes blanches et spécialement celui des épées de chasse est primordial. Ces armes se caractérisent par leur lame, remplacée par une barre de fer émoussée – pour minimiser les risques de blessure chez les chiens ou les chevaux – et dont seule la pointe, souvent élargie et renforcée, est aiguisée. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9p%C3%A9e%20de%20chasse
