well, first of all thx Dave for backing me up.

I live in Belgium, Europe which means no bowhunting at all. The closest country that allows bowhunting is France and this is what I need to do if I want to go bowhunting in France;
I need to have ahuntinglicence, obtained in Belgium but for hunting with a gun since no bowhunting in Belgium. This all so means I need a gunlicence and the gun I have the licence for.
Next I'll have to get a two day french given cours on bowhunting done in France before I can hunt anywhere in France. Then I have to find a place to hunt in France where they allow non native hunters.
In Belgium a hunters licence is a theoretical and practical exam which you do with your own rifles.
So total cost would be around 2500 euros counting the rifle as well. And all that just to use a bow ?
There are no european countries I know of where you can hunt without a belgian huntinglicence.
The closest I found is the Russia or croatia, they allow bowhunting but only on private property.
And since all bowhunting aces live in the states what better place to learn from than HNI ?
