Hello from Finland

[Finse]

Hi all! I have grown up hunting moose in the Southeast Finland, but years after years It started to feel pretty boring. I have lurked this forum for years but after my first trip to RSA in March/April I decided to join. That firs trip was pretty unplanned thing and it was a dark cold Finnish monday morning in February, when I was at the work and I just decided that now it's time to go to Africa. After 30mins I had booked the hunting safari and the flights. Hunting in Eastern Cape was such a great experience that now I'm just planning my next trip and try to save some money for that.

Hi Finse, I have worked with some great people from Finland during international missions. Will be making my first trip to S.A. in about six weeks. Hope you like it here as much as most of us do. May you have many more good hunts in Africa and elsewhere!!!

Thank you guys. I'm definitely going back in to same place as earlier 2 hours from East London. There are still plenty of animals to hunt and at this moment I'm thinking that I'd like to hunt Vaal rhebok, Steenbok, Bushbuck and Blue duiker. On that earlier hunt I got Black wildebeest, Zebra, Common Duiker and Mountain reedbuck. That Mnt reedbuck hunt was great and it took some work to do. Up and down the hillsides and we could'n get any closer than 500 meters. After 4 hours of stalking and walking we got ourselves on the hilltop and the pack was upwind from us at 70 meters. 17 Females and a ram. I shoot the ram and it was a nice 7". After that I felt that it's more fun to hunt those little antelopes than bigger sized animals.

As a native Finnish speaker I have some difficulties to produce English text so It would take a week from me to write a full story...

Welcome... THAT's the way to do it!! Just decide, book and get on the plane!! Very happy that your first trip worked out well... can't really go wrong with the Eastern Cape. Pics?? Story?
