I just returned from a fantastic Capercaillie hunt in Sweden. Shot a monster Caper.  One of the friendliest countries I have ever visited. Everybody spoke English and food was amazing. | ||

Thank you gentlemen. Get this done while you are young and able, lot of walking involved. This is a hard hunt which I would not recommend to someone who is out of shape. I have seen only a handful of Capercaillie pics with hunters from Stateside. @Kamo Gari Benelli 12 Gauge at 40 yards. Here is another trophy bird I collected on this trip....Black Grouse !!! They have the most amazing tails with opposing "J"-shaped feathers.  . | |||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

@Norton They had two birds at the cabin mounted together (very poor taxidermy) doing a face-off. I will see if I remembered to take a pic of that. @Kamo Gari Drooling will start when you see the hens  @Goldeneye That is a sweet video. I have not yet decided how to mount the Caper as I saw them doing some pretty crazy stretchings and poses. Will keep you all posted. Here is the hen Black Grouse.  | |||
