All the hunting stories deserve to be told.
It was very early and completely dark when we met Patrick, but he was fascinated about the hunt we were going to take. He discovered the balearean boc thanks to a common friend and he didn't think twice, he wanted a gold medal.
After had breakfast, we moved to an area were we knew the presence of big trophies. We walked, stalked and waited until some animals began to move. Being quite, we spotted some kids, females and also males, but not a big one... until he appeared 100m. behind. He was waiting in the woods until the rest of the group had crossed the valley and, quickly he started to run as if he had seen the devil. Impossible to shoot...! We tried to cross and find him around a rocky hill, up and down, up and down, but he had disappeared.
Nervous and disappointed we stalked for two more hours trying to retrieve our opportunity. But suddenly we saw a big animal 600m away from us, on a summit of a hill. He was hidden behind a tree, so we spotted and... there was no doubt. It was him! We run after him until we were in a good position and... the rest is show on this album. Patrick were completely excited, but me too! He succeed and today his trophy is already hanging on his home walls.
