This thread got me thinking so I googled it. 5Shot, you wern't far off. From what I read France had just reciently opened it's boarders to bow hunting.

I also saw some nice animals taken from the forrest of Normandy.

I don't know why but I find it surprising that we hear very little about Bow hunting or hunting in general in Europe. Understandably, if the talk is foreign hunting on a diffrent continent it's almost always Africa that comes to mind.
