1
00:00:00,842 --> 00:00:02,743
(Voiceover) 16th September, at dawn,

2
00:00:02,743 --> 00:00:04,391
In the land of Bouchonnois

3
00:00:04,391 --> 00:00:06,460
It's the hunting season opening.

4
00:00:07,055 --> 00:00:10,018
Not any hunting: 
The Greylag Shelgouse hunting.

5
00:00:10,018 --> 00:00:11,851
A real passion for these men...

6
00:00:11,851 --> 00:00:14,107
that we were following during 24h.

7
00:00:14,107 --> 00:00:16,363
(Dédé) I wouln't have hit you, c'mon!

8
00:00:16,363 --> 00:00:18,610
- Hi ! - Hi!

9
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:19,858
- Everyhting's OK, Dédé?
- Hey Robert!

10
00:00:19,858 --> 00:00:21,106
- Hi Dédé! What's up?

11
00:00:21,106 --> 00:00:22,356
- hi Bebert

12
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:23,845
Still cheated?
(Laughs)

13
00:00:24,415 --> 00:00:26,961
(Gérard) For sure, hunting is an art...

14
00:00:27,011 --> 00:00:29,755
For others it's painting, music,...

15
00:00:29,755 --> 00:00:32,299
For us it's hunting. It's an art.

16
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:35,894
It should be said, the Greylag Shelgouse hunting...

17
00:00:35,894 --> 00:00:39,016
It's typical from the Bouchonnois.

18
00:00:39,016 --> 00:00:41,461
Bouchonnois is not big, but it's Bouchonnois...

19
00:00:41,461 --> 00:00:44,442
You have Pitibon-sur-Sauldre,

20
00:00:44,442 --> 00:00:46,762
And Arriège, then also Corville.

21
00:00:46,762 --> 00:00:49,852
Wait Dédé, Corville is closer to Marais-sur-Saonais.

22
00:00:49,852 --> 00:00:51,643
Of course not!

23
00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:53,854
My grandmother comes from Corville.
She's from Bouchonnois.

24
00:00:53,854 --> 00:00:55,297
Though, well, ok, in short,

25
00:00:55,297 --> 00:00:57,078
The Shelgouse hunting, it's from Bouchonnois. - For sure.

26
00:00:57,078 --> 00:00:58,409
The rest is something else.

27
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:05,160
Well, yeah, somehow...

28
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,948
Hunting is a communion with nature, yes.

29
00:01:06,948 --> 00:01:08,702
It's an encounter with Lady Nature...

30
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:13,637
As soon dawn-casts-silver-shafts-of- light
through-scarfs-of-mist...

31
00:01:13,637 --> 00:01:16,129
(Interviewer) Must you have a poet soul to be a hunter?

32
00:01:16,129 --> 00:01:17,687
Shit, yes! That's essential! - F... yes!

33
00:01:17,687 --> 00:01:19,155
You should be a poet...

34
00:01:19,445 --> 00:01:21,578
Listen! It's a Hood Plover

35
00:01:21,578 --> 00:01:24,489
A little bird, good to gobble up.
Listen, it's "carbling"...

36
00:01:24,489 --> 00:01:26,737
No, that's a Grumpy Lapwing.

37
00:01:26,737 --> 00:01:28,128
A Ggrumpy Lapwing? Are you kidding?

38
00:01:28,138 --> 00:01:31,268
- But listen, it isn't carbling, it's wackling!
- Of course not! I say it's a Hood Plover...

39
00:01:31,268 --> 00:01:35,572
No, it's a Grumpy Lapwing! OK, let's say maybe a Billdaw...

40
00:01:35,683 --> 00:01:38,376
Mmm well no. It's Gérard...

41
00:01:38,376 --> 00:01:41,142
I would say hunting, it's a spirit of friendship,

42
00:01:41,142 --> 00:01:43,294
It's fraternity in effort

43
00:01:43,294 --> 00:01:45,859
- ... against hardness of Lady Nature.
- Exactly.

44
00:01:45,859 --> 00:01:48,424
- Yes, that's it, more or less.
- Pals, camaraderie, ...

45
00:01:48,424 --> 00:01:50,370
- Yeah.
- It's about the pals. yes.

46
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:52,940
(Voiceover) 11h. Still empty-handed.

47
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:55,280
Or "empty-balled" like they say in Bouchonnois.

48
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,354
I say: If I see one of these bitches...
I will kick its ass!

49
00:01:57,364 --> 00:01:58,629
OK guys, let's go.

50
00:01:58,629 --> 00:02:00,253
Because, yes, it's late.

51
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:04,677
- OK, let's go
- Yeah. Other things to play at.

52
00:02:05,347 --> 00:02:06,792
(Interviewer) And the risks?

53
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:08,457
You told me about your dog, Lolita...

54
00:02:08,957 --> 00:02:12,781
Oh well yes, that's the stupid incident...

55
00:02:12,781 --> 00:02:15,091
I thought it was a Greylag Shelgouse, well, I shoot

56
00:02:15,091 --> 00:02:16,110
Well, so...

57
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:18,279
It was ma dog.

58
00:02:18,279 --> 00:02:19,840
It was Lolita.

59
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:23,216
(Interviewer) Hmm yes but with humans?

60
00:02:23,246 --> 00:02:25,927
Ah, well, also...

61
00:02:25,927 --> 00:02:28,504
4-5 months ago, I was with my kid...

62
00:02:28,504 --> 00:02:31,399
I shoot: I thought it was a Greylag Shelgouse

63
00:02:31,399 --> 00:02:32,784
Well...

64
00:02:32,784 --> 00:02:34,736
So it was Billy.

65
00:02:35,326 --> 00:02:37,748
So, the stupid incident.

66
00:02:39,108 --> 00:02:40,519
But above all,

67
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,713
A dog as Lolita,

68
00:02:42,713 --> 00:02:45,514
Well, for sure, I won't find one twice.

69
00:02:45,694 --> 00:02:50,631
(Bird call sound)

70
00:02:50,631 --> 00:02:55,702
(Another one)

71
00:02:57,792 --> 00:02:59,273
(Yet another one)

72
00:02:59,503 --> 00:03:00,445
(Interviewer) Finally,

73
00:03:00,445 --> 00:03:02,030
What's the difference between a good

74
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:03,790
and a bad hunter?

75
00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:05,020
(Laughs)

76
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:07,931
Ah! I was expecting that one!

77
00:03:07,931 --> 00:03:09,303
No, well, the bad hunter...

78
00:03:09,303 --> 00:03:11,398
It's the guy, he has a riffle,

79
00:03:11,398 --> 00:03:12,873
He sees something moving,

80
00:03:12,873 --> 00:03:15,589
And he shoots. He shoots.

81
00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:17,095
(Interviewer) Hmm. And the good hunter?

82
00:03:17,095 --> 00:03:19,356
The good hunter,

83
00:03:19,356 --> 00:03:21,299
It's a guy, He has a riffle.

84
00:03:21,299 --> 00:03:23,868
He sees something moving

85
00:03:23,868 --> 00:03:24,807
He shoots; but, well...

86
00:03:24,977 --> 00:03:26,530
It's not the same!

87
00:03:26,530 --> 00:03:28,396
Yes! you have the good hunter and the bad hunter.

88
00:03:28,396 --> 00:03:31,120
- There's the meat collector and the non-meat collector...
- Yes, he cares.

89
00:03:32,594 --> 00:03:36,858
OK, You have the bad hunter: he sees something, he shoots! He shoots!

90
00:03:37,098 --> 00:03:38,622
The good hunder, he sees somethings...

91
00:03:40,082 --> 00:03:41,631
Ok, he shoots but, well...

92
00:03:41,631 --> 00:03:42,940
He's a good hunter, you see!

93
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:43,482
Yeah, of course.

94
00:03:43,482 --> 00:03:45,203
Exactly. It's different.

95
00:03:46,583 --> 00:03:48,336
You cannot be confused.

96
00:03:48,336 --> 00:03:50,069
There's the bad hunter:

97
00:03:50,069 --> 00:03:53,312
It's a dude, he sees a thing, he shoots.
- Indeed. - Exactly.

98
00:03:53,312 --> 00:03:55,165
You recognise them!

99
00:03:55,785 --> 00:03:59,390
And the good hunter, he sees a thing: he shoots...

100
00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:01,848
But well, It's a good hunter!

101
00:04:01,848 --> 00:04:04,588
I mean, it's not...

102
00:04:04,588 --> 00:04:07,454
- Anyway those are dumb ass' questions.
-You have to explain that to people,

103
00:04:07,454 --> 00:04:09,857
Otherwise they won't make the difference.

104
00:04:10,347 --> 00:04:12,575
(Voice-over) 13h. Our friends, poets of hunting,

105
00:04:12,575 --> 00:04:14,887
...are still "empty-balled".

106
00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:17,173
They haven't seen any single bird.

107
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:21,260
Or, "Birdewee" as it is said in Bouchonnois.

108
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,447
Shit! F...!

109
00:04:23,447 --> 00:04:26,702
(Interviewer) Where are the good spots for Greylag Shelgouses?

110
00:04:26,702 --> 00:04:29,261
(Laughs)

111
00:04:29,351 --> 00:04:30,899
A guy from Bouchonnois will never tell you

112
00:04:30,909 --> 00:04:33,210
where to find Greylag Shelgouses!

113
00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:38,680
- Where? -Where? -Where? -Where?

114
00:04:40,124 --> 00:04:42,184
No, That was nothing. That was nothing.

115
00:04:45,073 --> 00:04:47,505
(Voiceover) 15h. They decide to organise

116
00:04:47,505 --> 00:04:50,035
a release of Greylag Shelgouses.

117
00:04:51,002 --> 00:04:53,552
Where do we put them? There?

118
00:04:53,868 --> 00:04:55,765
Yes, put-it there.

119
00:04:55,765 --> 00:04:57,221
OK, I thought about it...

120
00:04:57,221 --> 00:05:00,401
- Bebert, you stay here, You release them.
- OK

121
00:05:00,401 --> 00:05:01,654
Gerard, go on the other side,

122
00:05:01,654 --> 00:05:03,054
and I go there.
- OK -OK

123
00:05:03,710 --> 00:05:05,649
(Voice in Talki-walkie) Dédé, do you copy?

124
00:05:05,649 --> 00:05:07,309
Yes, 5/5.

125
00:05:07,309 --> 00:05:09,868
I wait Bebert do the release.

126
00:05:10,201 --> 00:05:12,953
Good. Carefull, I am just in front of you.

127
00:05:13,248 --> 00:05:16,005
Don't hide too much otherwise I won't see you

128
00:05:16,005 --> 00:05:18,266
OK I am here, look:
Hou Hou!

129
00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:20,219
Ready Bebert, Let's go!

130
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:23,990
Go!

131
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,538
OK!

132
00:05:25,538 --> 00:05:28,854
Good! Good!
(gunshots)

133
00:05:28,984 --> 00:05:31,660
Care! The second one! here it is!

134
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:35,429
- Shit! I am running out of bullets!
- Shit! I missed it! Shit!

135
00:05:35,461 --> 00:05:36,276
Where? Where? (gunshots)

136
00:05:36,276 --> 00:05:37,384
There! Gérard!

137
00:05:37,384 --> 00:05:38,590
Here!

138
00:05:38,590 --> 00:05:39,808
Shit!

139
00:05:41,118 --> 00:05:45,477
(gunshots and machine gun shots)

140
00:05:46,187 --> 00:05:47,247
Bitch!

141
00:05:48,292 --> 00:05:52,797
Ok, OK, it's OK now...

142
00:05:52,797 --> 00:05:55,947
Careful! Careful!

143
00:05:55,949 --> 00:05:58,829
- No, it's good now.
- It's OK. It's dead, now.

144
00:06:00,835 --> 00:06:02,543
- Waow, That's a beautiful one!

145
00:06:02,543 --> 00:06:04,199
Hell! We got it!

146
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:05,978
Good. Let's go.

147
00:06:05,978 --> 00:06:08,285
(Voice-over) The Bouchonnois slowly falls asleep

148
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:12,675
In the distance sound the melodic voices of grateful hunters

149
00:06:13,033 --> 00:06:16,529
(Smutty song)

150
00:06:16,529 --> 00:06:20,559


151
00:06:21,007 --> 00:06:24,907


152
00:06:25,474 --> 00:06:29,834
