Capercaillie and black grouse
- Hunting with pointing dog
<<<Back

When the season begins we hunt with pointing dogs. The birds sit on the ground and eats berries and grass. The dog searches near to the hunter and when the dog makes contact, it will point the bird. The hunter move hastily towards the dog and on a given signal from the guide the dog will flush the bird who will try to escape. Once the bird takes to the wings the hunter can make the shot.

This hunting form is very exciting and filled with action. The hunt is performed in mixed biotope; old and young forest, in the border zone between moors and forest.

We only use fully trained dogs and we train them year round to ensure the quality of the hunt. Remember that this hunt can sometimes be physical demanding since it is important to move quickly when the dog points. We normally hunt all day with breaks for coffee and a longer break for lunch and rest in the forest or at the camp.

You can also combine this hunt with a ptarmigan hunt, read more here>>>

Recommended weapon is shotgun with caliber 12-20.

Season: Aug 25^th - Oct 10^th
