Hunting and Fishing Memories

My name is Salim Victor Tyan. I am Lebanese, belonging to that Land envied by all our neighbours. But that is another story.

I was born on the 3rd of a November, the day of Saint Hubert's birthday, the patron of hunters. That makes me believe in predestination ! My grandfather, father and uncles were all staunched hunters. Already when seven- year old, I was accompanying my father on hunting trips.

Here are my hunting and fishing memories !

For those of you, amateurs of hunting and fishing, who enjoy the outdoors, enjoy seeing a hunting dog pointing, enjoy plenty of bagged ducks, quails, turtle-doves, partridges and fishes, here are some of the pictures reminiscing the most exciting hours of my life.
