Greetings from Finland

[samu]

Relatively new hunter here. Started by hunting moose and waterfowl few years ago. Mostly I’ve found this forum great source of information but somehow idea of hunting in Africa has started to creep on me.

Welcome to the posting side of AH.

Hanging around here will have you planning a trip to Africa in no time at all.

Enjoy the planning.

The place has a name in Finnish too, but 98% of people there have Swedish (the Finnish kind) as their native language.

Yes. My grandmother spoke swedish
I have the original last name written down at home. They changed it to pirlot when they arrived here in the 20's I think. I have that at home also

Samu, welcome to AH! Here’s hoping you get to Africa sooner than later!

Welcome aboard Samu. What caliber firearm did / do you use on Moose? The creep you mentioned will get faster and faster. Soon you will come to the understanding that hunting Africa is a must.

Hello samu,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the best forum on earth.

The safari company that I advertise for is in Namibia however, I live in Alaska.
There are at least 15 or 20 people here that, were born in Finland (also a few people from every Scandinavian country live here).
More than one or two of them have told me that Anchorage and Helsinki enjoy very much the same weather patterns.
Anyway, we look forward to reading about your hunting (and fishing ?) in Finland.

Best regards,
Velo Dog
