Succeded with my reindeer hunt this year as well. Lovely bull harvested in Knutshø reindeer area, middle of Norway.

Very nice, congrats!
 
That´s a big one, congrats !
 
Very nice, and beautiful country!
 
That is an impressive rack. How about sharing some of the details?
 
I got this bull after 6 days of hunting. The first 4 days I didnt see any reindeers at all. On this day I spotted a herd early in the morning, about 6km north of my camp.
After sneaking up on the herd, which was about 600 animals, I was lying down and waiting for about two hours. The reindeer was bedding and a clear shot was impossible. I then retreated and tryed to waiting them out. After a while, they started to move uphill. After a short stalk, I was able to get a shot at this bull. Here are some more pics from the hunt.

Was this a guided hunt or were you on your own? How does he compare to others you've taken?

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
