The
trophy hunt is for the hunter who wishes to hunt for a great trophy
since it is during
this time of
the
year
the birds have developed a fully grown coat of feathers, and they
are truly magnificent, perfect for the taxidermist.
When the leaves start to fall in the beginning/middle of October,
the birds become a little more careful and move to other places in
the forest. We now use a “barking tree dog”, a Finnspitz.
The dog searches far from the hunters and when
the dog localizes a bird on the ground it runs towards it. The bird
then takes protection in a nearby tree where the dog finds the bird
and
starts barking; up to 120 times per minute. While the dog barks and
get the birds’ full attention, the hunter can move carefully closer
for the perfect shot. Depending on the distance we use both shotgun
and
rifle with caliber 222 Rem-6,5x55 and normal shooting distance is
between 50-100 meters.
Season: Oct 11th
- End of November
If the snow has fallen we will leave
the dog at home and take the skis instead.
