How did you end up doing that?? That's a trip of a life time without even having to go too far. Brilliant!

If you can get an invite to hunt in this country with someone you have not met before then doing the same in another country is just as easy. They’re just dog men who like hunting dogs too. I had about 50 invites in place before heading over here but won’t be able to fit them all in, all manner of hunting. Been to France digging and Utah mountain lion hunting twice too by doing the same thing.

I've done the same in NZ a couple of times and been on a hunting trip, not as successful as yours, to Spain as well. Its a great way to meet people and see different kinds of hunting. I'm shit at languages though so never tried Europe on my own

Just an update, not had much chance to edit and upload any photos yet as I literally haven’t stopped. Wednesday I hunted podenco xarnego valenciano in the actual valencian orange groves which was nice, we had 4 rabbits and one was released. 

Yesterday I hunted Rehala again and we had around 50 reds and 30 boar with both dogs and guns, great day.

this evening I am meeting with and having a meal with the president of the Rehala association, think he wants to understand my intentions, suss me out type thing.

tomorrow I hunt Rehala with him for the first time, it was tough saying goodbye to the other rehaleros who had treated me so well but I’ll be sure to sing their praises to the president of their sport. Will get some images up as soon as I can.

Actually thinking of taking an English dog over there in a couple of years and seeing if the hares are faster or their dogs are slower. Only way to find out I think
