Yeah, it is absolutely amazing part of the world, some of the most virgin woods I know of

Have you hunted with the tradskallare before?

Unfortunately never hunted in that part of the world, but used to spend a month or two in Scandinavia kayaking most summers as a teenager. Will have to go back...

Great pictures, looks like a very interesting and different hunt.

I spent a week canoeing in SW Sweden (Varmland) this August, such a beautiful country!

Excellent report, Orvar!
Looks like you had a good one, even though the number of birds were less than expected Smiler

Orvar,

That is a great set of pics.

Do I remember correctly that you shoot these with a .22 rifle or were you using a shotgun?

Stalking Capercaille sounds like a lot of fun!!
