Hoadie,

I guess things get lost in translation.

In the USA when hunting you "dress the kill" by removing the unwanted internal organs and leave them for animals like coyotes to clean up.


From your statement after you hunt and kill a wild game animal you have a different procedure. How do you know what size dress for your wild game animal? I guess you have different hunting rules than I know. 

Please send explain?

English/Canadian/American translation errors.
In England "field Dressing" is a bandage.

Paddy, if your "French" is any worse than mine - you better speak 'Merican in Normandy.
Thats what the Gendarmes told me when I was there! Told me my "French" was terrible...& I should speak English
(Then again - Euro French is alot different than Quebec French)

Quebec French rules!

What did the Gendarmes want with you?

All the times I was in France, in the 70's the Gendarmes where very nice and polite.

Apparently, as told to me by my French buddies in Vervins, an English (& maybe American) speaking French sounds very similar to the accent of a German speaker speaking french.

Quebec French was one cause of a rift between Canadian French & actual French when De Gaulle went there! His references to what they had done to the language did not go down well.

When I was in the US Army Berlin the French called De Gaulle, "the nose".

Large Mule deer buck taken high up in the Shulaps mountain range northwest of Lilloet, B.C. That was about 40 years ago and if I remember correctly it was taken with a handoad.  One shot from about 100 yards, clean kill and it was dead before it hit the ground.
