Calanda view

Philipp wasn't up to much after having had to give 10 hours of lectures the past two days. So I took Djeili and Rike, who was over for the day, for a walk with several viewpoints. 
The hunters were out, at one point it sounded like they were doing drift hunting. The dogs and I popped out of the woods, and there was a hunter, so I asked: Can we proceed here or are we gonna get shot? I admit my wording in German might have sounded a bit more rude than that. He answered: It's totally fine. Thank you. 
Hm, what was he thanking me for?
