  • Summary: By the time he started hunting he was forty years old. He began by hunting rabbits with a friend. It was only later that he started with pidgeons. They would go up to the cabin after work, at night. They would come down the following morning.The year that he got the most pidgeons was when he got eighty two. Most years he would kill about thirty or forty. Nowadays there are too many hunters. There was a time when it was necessary to walk up carrying the rifle. Now there are roads everywhere.Allthough up to lately he had always hunted “in the air” his sight and his reflexes are not what they used to be and he has begun to hunt on the ground. Although there are twenty-five posts, twenty can be used. In the hunting season he has a hut up in the summit and he usually spends a few days there. His son also goes to spend fifteen days there.(4:15”) Goodbye.
