Hello from Lapland Finland

[Ismo]

G’day Ismo! My wife and I are enjoying a Finnish Police show on Netflix, and when all this craziness ends we’d love to visit your beautiful country! Just last night I was watching some moose hunting on YouTube from Finland. Good luck with your bear quest!

Hi BenKK!
Nice to hear that! It is quite simple to take a friend to moose hunt here

Hi my friend, I have many hunting friends from Finland and I took a female Capercaillie a few years ago with my friend in Lapland. You have a wonderful country.

Hi MarkCZ!
Wow, glad to hear that! Do you remember the area you hunted here in Finland?

Thanks for the update on how you hunt! It sounds like you have to be in really good physical condition! WOW! Tough hunting!
I have some North Fork bullets that I just started to work up loads in my 375 H&H. Then they went out of business. So I stopped. I hope they can be imported at a reasonable price for us to use? It’s a fine design!

 

[Ismo]

Thanks! Well, If the dog and the moose are running far enough, I'll make a fire, cook some coffee and watch Netflix via mobilephone
We use "satellite dog radar" so we can see where the dog is even lying in the coach at home. But sometimes you just got to walk. And, If you are lucky and the moose is down and "butched?" you walk back to the road, take the ATW and pick up the moose

Hi @Ismo glad you joined. Bear hunting sounds fun. You don’t mention Tikka. The Tikka and Sako are pretty popular in Australia. Probably the first thing I associate with the word Finland. I know Europeans hunt but had no Idea what is in in Finland.
I have a couple of Tikka rifles they suit my purpose but I would like a Sako too.
Be careful I was just looking occasionally and found myself booking an African hunt, something I dreamed of but didn’t plan to do within 9 months of joining the site. I booked within 2 months I guess.

Hi CBH!
Yes, I have heard those rifles are famous on your country. My son has original 308 Win Tikka LSA-55 and Tikka M66 combi-gun 222 Rem +12/70. I have 308 SakoWin L 579 with Shilen barrel.
You never know, this site ay cause that you find yourself from Skyscanner

Welcome to AH. Nice to see fellow pointy eared dog hunters here. I’m from the other end of the country though and hunt mostly in North Karelia.

Hi everyboy! Been visiting this site many times and now finally joining. I'm a reloader and a hunter. I'm hunting moose, bear and capercaillies with dogs (Jämthund and Nordic Spitz)
Waiting for the summer, we have still snow up here more than one meter..

Hello Ismo,

Best regards,

Hello my Friend

Welcome!!

Beautiful bird! Do your dogs point or flush?

The traditional thing is: the spitz finds a bird in a tree and starts barking under the tree. The bird hopefully keeps its eyes on the annoying furball. The human hunter hears the racket and tries to get in a position to get a shot with a rifle. A combi gun is handy in case the forest bird happens to fly over the hunter.

The same dog might do a similar thing with Moose: find the moose, annoy it just enough to keep it in place. At least in southern parts of Finland, there's usually also "shooters" waiting in ambush, along likely routes that the Moose might take if it decides to run.

Thanks! I have rifles from 22 Hornet to .375 Ruger. I'll use also 308 Win + 12/76 combi when hunting capercaillies. I have been lucky with around twenty moose, but not even the first brownie yet (trying over twenty years). Maybe in becoming season, it looks that I finally have a promising dog growing..
I' ll try to share some stories and pictures.
