Just returned from a very cold but very enjoyable whitetail hunt in Finland after kindly being invited by good friends to experience something a little different.The first day was minus 21!..
the hunting was primarily over wheat and carrot in heated cabins and under a full moon.The hospitality from the finnish hunt club and there respective families was wonderful and we ate some great Finnish dishes including zander,pike and reindeer.After zeroing the rifles ( I got scope eye again) we set up in separate cabins to wait and see what would step out.Long story short I saw a total of 30 whitetail over 3 nights and most were does, my friend saw none at all over the trip which was unfortunate and my other friend saw does only. On the last night 4 very wary bucks stepped out and after my heart stopped hammering in my ears I gave one the good news
I was very lucky to have taken a great buck (for finland) and never realised how big bodied whitetail were!
