Thank you for a wonderful report. Most enjoyable. I will be in France soon - can I expect all French people to be this humorous ? I am keen to bait for blue rabbits - do I need a permit ?

Probably one of the best and most Honest hunt reports ever written on AR.
"A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than by a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact."

Pascale , I enjoyed so much your reort, thank you, I know I will enjoy it even more this evening when I read it to my 2 daugthers wich I hope will follow your lead!!
like it, I dont know where I am, it’s beautiful, it hurts, I hope the buffalo can not see us crawling, what am I doing here, this is great, it’s hot and sunny, I wish I could remember how happy I am right now, do the others also suffer like I am ?? etc ??... end of story, cannot be explained !!!
Yes!!!! Most of us suffer from the same affliction. I am never happier than when im prowling thru the woods. Especially if its miles from nowhere.
I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.

Great report, Pascale! You had me smiling the whole time I was reading it.

- for your daughters: they have it or they don't, you can probably do nothing about it and you should not love them less if they don't (OK, i did not get that degree in psychology Roll Eyes ). Two small suggestions: 1) Bring them to a hunt in Africa, it will help! 2) DO NOT SHOOT THEIR CATS. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
Thank you..agreed...I have enough trouble keeping our ridgeback off them. My 15 year old is 6'1" so she stands as tall as a man and slim like gazelle.

Well, I only saw this today, and loved the descriptions, especially from a woman's point of view. I did smile broadly at your descriptions of the frogs, the times hiding behind the trees and your dad as well.
You have a wonderful, and uniquely French turn of phrase.
I hope you enjoy many more hunts in congenial company.
