I just returned from a great hunt in the Pyrenees of southern France. This is my first post with pics so if I mess them up, I'll have Arjun post them. Booking Agent: Arjun Reddy (saw the hunt offered here on AR) Outfitter: Renaud Degrees du Lou (Seladang) Guides: Erwan de Foucher & Jean Luc Planes Species: Pyrenean Chamois I arrived in Paris where Renaud met me and made sure I caught the correct train. Missed a connecting train, but my 7th grade French and some friendly train agents got me to Narbonne late that night where Erwan was waiting to pick me up. We had a two hour drive to Saillagouse and our very comfortable hotel for a short sleep before heading out the first morning. Our local guide Jean Luc was also owner of the hotel and a certified professional chef so we ate quite well on this hunt. Jean Luc and Erwan did a great job and we connected on a nice chamois the third morning. The hunt was challenging but lots of chamois in the area. The last afternoon I had a chance at a mouflon but missed what should have been an easy shot. That's ok, gives me a good excuse to return. Everything was well organized and went smoothly other than some poor shooting on my part. This would be a great place to take the wife for a vacation/hunt.

Well done... great hunt, great location, great report! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

The first two days involved a lot of hiking and climbing. The area we hunted on the third day had a road to the top of mountain. Thought we had it easy that day until we had to make a quick climb after a mouflon ram at last light. There are enough chamois there that someone not in the best condition could get one. | |||

Congrats, Brings back memory's from long ago. There a very cool little animal. 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. | |||

Waidmannsheil mymur on a good Chamois. I see Erwan is staying busy, I did a "vacation with my wife" and hunted a few days for Roebucks with him last July not too far from there. -------- There are those who only reload so they can shoot, and then there are those who only shoot so they can reload. I belong to the first group. Dom --------- | |||
