    Tikka LSA 55

    A nice Finnish rifle, likely from the 1970's. LSA is short for "Light, Strong, Accurate" which pretty much says it all! LSA-65 is the long action version. Tikka is short for tikkakoski which means woodpecker if I remember corectly. Quite logical considering that they started out as a...

    Hello Simon! Small world, we hunted mostly in Hunters Hills when we were around Timaru. It was great fun shooting wallabies over german pointers in daytime and to go spotlighting at night. We stayed at a redish backpackers near a main road in Timaru, I'm sure you know which it is. The owner was...

    Capercaillie hunting - spring 2010

    That seems like a very nice hunt! Unfortunately hunting birds in spring is banned here in Sweden since many years, but I love to go and listen to the tooting capercaille and black cocks on early spring mornings. I mostly hunt the birds during winter when they are forced to feed in the treetops...

    Worst Shot Turned Out To Be The Best Shot

    Nosejob An older gentleman hunting moose on the same area as I do once by mistake shot a moose bull straight through the nose. I was called there to start tracking it with one of the dogs but it lay dead about 100 meters away. Apparently it had drowned in its own blood. Sometimes you are lucky!

    Greetings from Slovenia

    Hi! You seem to have some truly nice huntinggrounds! My most cherished hunting memories comes from hunting chamoa and Himalayan Thar in New Zeeland, hunting in mountains surely is something special. Unfortunately the mountains here in Sweden are much to flat for my taste. I am looking...

    Thanks a lot for the greetings guys! Michael: Actually I'm living in Sundsvall right now, Exumebo would be a more accurate nickname! Nice to see other swedes on the site! Werner: Yes, I'm going on a study trip to SA in April and will try to squeeze in some kind of hunt then too.

    Hello! I´m a Swedish PhD student and a keen hunter focused on hunting moose with my two dogs. I have been interested in African hunting since I started to hunt some 15 years ago but have always thought African hunting is out of my financial limits. However, since I'm going on a study trip to...

As all hunters I am always looking for...
