I use a Sauer 202 "Skan" (Skan is the skandinavian model of Sauer)in kaliber 6,5x55 Mauser This Sauer rifle is 12 years old, very good rifle, with a fantastic accuracy. This rifle is also supplyed with a stock with adjustable sheekpiece I have three barrels wich I use in this rifle: one 6,5x55 Mauser, one 3006 and a another 6,5x55 Mauser Match grade barrel wich I use at the shooting range. As you understand I love my Sauer rifle, I use it everywhere where I go hunting, I also have a sako Finnbear in kaliber 375 H&H Mag, this one I use in Africa, When I`m hunting for rawdeer I use my sauer Drilling in Kaliber 12/70 and 6,5x55 Mauser I reload all my ammo, this time i used a 140 grs Rhino Bullet loaded with 45,5 Vihtavuori N-160 powder, in a Norma case and a Federal 210 primer. Velocity is 825 meter/sec Chronographed. I shot the Reindeerbull at 110 meters distance, it was impossible to get any closer, I try to get as close as possible, just for det challenge of the hunt. I hit the reindeer in the top of the heart, and he fell on the spot. Salesagent Africa hunting | |||

Great buck! Congratulations.. I have only hunted the southern areas of Norway for reindeer, like Hardangervidda and Norefjell-Reinsjøfjell., but next weekend I`ll spend three days in Sølenkletten.. License for mature buck and calf.. I guess the rut is on there as well, making a mature buck a bad choice..

I'm curious to know what scoring system was used. To me does not look like SCI. Current World Record for SCI is around 400. ...."At some point in every man's life he should own a Sako rifle and a John Deere tractor....it just doesn't get any better...." | |||

 To give a comparison. This one scores SCI 484 ...."At some point in every man's life he should own a Sako rifle and a John Deere tractor....it just doesn't get any better...." | |||

trackersNZ i think that that is a caribou from canada or alaska, not a scandinavian reindeer. i think the points system is CIC, but not sure about it best regards peter | |||

By the SCI measuring methods,there is only one method (Method 23) for measuring Caribou and Reindeer, regardless of what country they are shot in. NorwegianHunters Bull looks to me like something around SCI 380 inchs. So the quoted 959.8 must be some other system, or quoted in centimeters SCI generally (But not always) work in inches and fractions. It is possible that being europeon, that the score is being quoted in centimeters. Which solves the problem. Converted this would be 377 7/8 inchs. This puts it at number 7 in the SCI Record Book. Here's a picture of the #6 SCI 381 3/8 inchs. http://i70.photobucket.com/alb...rsnz/ReinDeerno6.jpg Shot by Norbert Ullmann in Norway. Currently to be a Gold Medal the minimum is 313 4/8. Out of the "Top 10" of SCI Reindeer Records 6 were shot in Norway, 2 in Iceland, 1 in Sweden and 1 in Russia. SCI has recently opened a catergory for "Estate" shot animals (Fenced.) As yet there are no entries. Generally when an estate catergory is opened, it is because there is some controversy over some past trophies being either wild or fenced. Would be interesting to know, how many of the current "Top 10" were shot as genuine "Free Range" trophies. ...."At some point in every man's life he should own a Sako rifle and a John Deere tractor....it just doesn't get any better...." | |||

Is would indeeed be interesting to know were some of them came from. but in Europe there is the CIC scoring system, wich differs somewhat from the SCI system. You can read about it here http://www.cic-wildlife.org/up...s/media/red_book.pdf edit the medal categories are here http://www.cic-wildlife.org/up.../media/blue_book.pdf | |||

There is no denying this one is heavy in body but would be your estimate regarding this bull, either CIC or SCI ? http://www.adventura.is/new_page_4.htm Our client shot it this past season. | |||

Tracker, ever been to the north of Sweden, Norway, to Iceland or Russia? There are no fences there, just wast amounts of land, and then I mean huge expanses of land. I for one would belive that the questioned trophys are ones that have been shot close to or in settlements of the Sapmi, the natives of the north, ie bred bulls that have been led out to be shot. Even I living in stockholm have heard of this, the oldest breeding bull has past his prime and the Sapmi then sells him on hoof to a hunter. The difference being slight there still is one. To go hunting for a reindeer, that is one of my top five. Best regards Chris

The measurment system that we use in Norway is CIC and all the measur is taken in cm (centimeters) In Norway it\s not allowed too hunt the reindeer held by the natives. we have a wild reindeerarea in the southern part of Norway, All is located south of Trondheim city. We have native in the northern part of Norway, and also in the south east by the City of Røros. We hunt in very big areas, it`s impossible to walk across the areas, we should find out about the wind directions to plan where the reindeer is. In Norway there is not any fenced hunting areas, A average area that we hunt reindeer is about 800 square kilometeres, thats huge areas. This one held 989.8 CIC points  The world record for European reindeer is: 1081.1 CIC points. This bull was shot i Lesja county in the year of 1966 Salesagent Africa hunting | |||

Thats for sure, you`ll never forget them. As far as i know the reindeer in Iceland is put there from the Norwegian Wikings, but it`s not mutch of hearing from Iceland and the reindeerhunt. Also at the whalingstation at South Georgia island the Norwegian Whaleing company bring some reindeer for food, thru the years it`s got a big herd of reindeer in this area.

Your are right. Reindeer were first brought to Iceland from Norway in the 18th century with the intention of domesticating them. This never happened and they have remained wild in the East and Southeast from Vopnafjordur in the north to the district of Sudursveit in the south. Through natural selection they have developed to survive the Icelandic winter and the herd currently numbers about 6000 animals strong. The general hunting season is August 1st - September 15th. Early bull season starts July 15th. The annual quota is around 1300 animals and licenses are issued by drawing. | |||
