I had no idea. Great animals and a great way to mix a hunt with a little lookieloo.

Congratulations. What led to you choosing Sweden for this hunt over other countries? I’m surprised you didn’t see any roe deer. Sweden has a spring season now. Early June is a really good time to hunt. I hunted that time last year for roe deer and boar just south of Stockholm.

Congrats on the Visent and the fine hunting country Sweden is .

Not many option for Biden in Europe since Poland stopped the hunting of them. ( if that have not changed back again now )

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Sweden. Main reason that I chose Sweden was price and availability. No realistic way to do free range wisent right now. As PerH stated, Poland doesn't issue permits and I'm not going to Belarus. There are still a few other countries like Czechia that offer estate hunts.
