Sacre`bleu she magnific!
Hey here is link to learn some French swear words, if you don't know any already. I think it important if your going to own and shoot a French gun you learn to cuss in french as well, especially in a dove field. I like the term "d`gage" which sounds like a great gunning term to yell at that dove that just broke the sound barrier coming from behind right over head. It actually means "piss off", and yet still proper and appropriate to yell to friend giving you hard time for missing a shot. Then it would be "d`gage connard"

I remember the first time I ever saw a Darne and it was July 14 of 1995 in the middle of nowhere Alaska. We had just finished a week long backcountry fishing trip and were waiting at a common point where two rivers joined to meet our bush pilot. It was like a mini Rendezvous of sorts since there were other parties coming out of the bush and meeting in same place. This Frenchman that was actually a doctor from France was there and for bear protection he had brought along his Darne. Since it was Bastille Day he was imbibing heavily and shooting his gun in the air.
