Thank you for sharing your wonderful hunt. Your pictures are very good for capturing the feel of the place where you were. The steam from your cookware made it look like a dream, which from over here, it is.

I hope you are having many happy feasts over fresh pork!

Thanks to all ... 2012 was tough here around too and to get the possibility to spend some days again just in the wood with a bow in the hand was already great :archer:

David...thanks so much for the "tour" of the Alps with your pictures and words. That is one awesome Wild Boar. That is what they are supposed to look like when you dream of Boar hunting.

Congrats Sir.

Just beautiful, my dream to hunt true Euorpean Wild Boar instead of the pigs over here which are ferral, domestic pigs which have gone wild., maybe one day before I get too old.

It's the south part of the alps with the mediterranean sea on the end, when the weather is very clear you can see the island of Corsica the state name is "ALPES MARITIMES" we are on the border with Italy, there is a nice national park (no hunting) called MERCANTOUR

The main town on the cost is NICE, the cost is full of people and house everywhere on 10/ 15 kilometers wide ... after that it's almost empty with games plenty of hunters praticing big drive hunts and since 20 years now lot of wolfs too
