Bonjour from France

Welcome to AH!
 
Hi All

I'm a South African living in the South of France. I read about this site on another Forum.

Been here since 2009 and passed my hunting permit in 2016. It takes a while to learn the language ;)

Since then I've acquired a Marlin 308win, a 12br Shotgun, Air rifle and recently a Savage .22lr.

I've been hunting with my current hunting club since 2018 where I shot my first Wild boar. Since then I've been accounting for at least 2 or 3 every season. We hunt in a small mountain range called Les Alpilles. We hunt only boars and foxes. So far my biggest one weighed in at 105kgs but my favourite will always be my first one of 98kgs.

If permitted - I'm also the founder of a Facebook Group called Hunting in France - it is an English language private hunting group that aims to give information about hunting in France.

I lived in South Africa and Namibia and hunted in both countries.

Regards
Welcome @Methos and congratulations for learning another language. I was always terrible at foreign languages until I went to Tanzania. Then I fell in love with Swahili. I love how the words roll off the tongue. Of course, I only know tidbits of it. Then when I went to Namibia and Mozambique I hoped to pick up some of those languages but really struggled. Anyway, welcome to the site. I’m glad you found a great place to hunt in France.
 
:S Welcome:

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
