I can perfectly understand that feeling. Sorrow, really.

What is the cost if no animal is harvested?

My .308 with silencer on a 20" barrel provides very comfortable sound levels and close to zero recoil. For driven shooting that makes a valuble difference, being able to quicker and more accurately follow up a first shot. The short barrel makes balance fair but the silencer is not completely...

Commenting to save the thread for myselfd - the set up sounds like the thing for me but no room for trips in 2027.

Great answers, all! Thanks! I haven't been to the long distance range yet so will see how it feels after that but leaning to not having to make the investment then.

About to head out to Namibia soon and started looking for a ballistic tower. I have a Z8i 1-8. But then I started pondering whether that's enough or not. I don't see myself shooting above 220 yards but on 8x, I'm not sure I'm comfortable there. I know only I can answer but... should I get a Z6i...

I kind of love/hate finding a thread like this. I have my first trip coming up this summer and have been thinking about whether my .308 will be enough. Most here say yes but if possible, bring 9,3x62. Given that I have a Blaser, getting another barrel is not that difficult (seeing a local ad for...

Not very far north to be honest (not even Norrland). In Dalarna. But for us southerners most is north, haha. We typically harvest moose at my homegrounds too but the tag is normally only one adult spread over a team of ~15 people so fewer chances. This year however I bagged a cow in October too...

Sorry to hear that. Such is hunting as we say here.

Not at all. Just turned out to be the chances we had, if cow+calf turn up calf have to go first. If possible, we can take the cow after that as well. We had adults on the tag as well but they eluded us. The bulls can be quite tricky sometimes and hightail it out in impressive speed. There is...

I was reading a thread on proper hats for hunting. Here is the answer - those look awesome.

Great report and story, thanks!!

In September 2025, all things finally aligned and I was able to accept a friend's invitation to join them for a week of moose hunting in the middle of Sweden, after having declined in previous years. This group has held the hunting rights to roughly 6000 acres for 6 or 7 years now and have had...

To make matters worse, it does say on their Wiki. Don’t know how I missed that, haha.
