I wonder about the chaps on the road. For the people in the car. Only later do I realise the full importance of each man's position. The essential difference between French and English hunting is that in France it is done for food. At the end of the hunt, the meat will be weighed in the public square and each hunter will receive a share according to where he stood when the beast was killed.
Many violent arguments take place over who fired the fatal shot.
These often ugly scenes are another reason why the younger generation prefers to hunt solo. Meanwhile we wait. We have to stay in this spot all morning. But perhaps staying in the same place all day is easier on those rheumatic joints. I ask whether hunt protesters exist here.
