yds Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 back now uploading the photos now be a while. great time was had and everyone scored kills. we saw lots of things including the temp go to below minus 20c one night and none of us could sit later then midnight, Everything froze up scopes, muzzles and cartridges in magazines and breath on anything it touched including ear flaps of hats. Even the snow on our boots froze our boots into the shape we were sat in and the trouser bottoms froze to our boots which made moving very hard when it came to trekking out for our lifts. bag was 7 fallow deer (no medals but a gold was seen on leaving a box and no shot was taken) 1 missed running. 3 foxes 2 wild boar other animals seen were Moose (non shootable as what we could shoot was strict and fines were heavy) eagles, pine martin, roe, ravens and waxwings. Right here goes, don't have all the kills as some were shot a night under the moon and were skinned and lardered immediatly to stop them freezing with their skins on. the boys who shot them may post or send me them when they recover. the first night in the lodge, dark when we got there. the danes set off hunting in the morning got everywhere (nearly) with just chains on a 2 wheel drive. the boys loading into the car on first morning a mild -5 the morning view from my stand where both pigs and a fallow were shot later in the trip sadly not by me. the wood looked like this on the walk out. breakfast in the lodge day 1 the lodge from outside my 2 fallow shot from sticks with an audience 156m and 242m there is i believe some video of this. sortly after darrens rifle cracked and he had his first fallow. next morning the veiw from my moose stand. i never sw one but trevor who was 400ms from me had a 2 year old cow (not takable) within 100ms and videoed it the night blinds were super looking 30ms into the feeding station. inside the boys topping up the feed. trevors pricket i have the video of this one. the drive to the other ground day 2 after the minus 21 temps the telephone lines steves perfectly shot fallow doe which ran 100ms into the trees in the late evening which we found the next day by watching the ravens and 2 massive eagles. it was just grallochable and hadn't quite froze solid... the ravens had had its eyes. darren coming back to the car. my feed station with roe at it. where i later shot 3 foxes for 2 shots under the late evening sky (starlight almost). sorry no photos as it was very late and dark when we left and my battery had died on the phone. when i met daz the long drive back the motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yds Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 will depend on the trip and country(logistics) but should be around the 1K(guestimate) mark for 3 days hunting + flights and beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) will depend on the trip and country(logistics) but should be around the 1K(guestimate) mark for 3 days hunting + flights and beer. Do you know people in the business then or do you buy the trips out of sporting rifle or from a sporting agent or something? Is shotgunspud (Alex) a sporting agent, I know his dad is.

yds Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 alex is an agent. me i have made a very good friend who has many scandanavian contacts and he has to take so many days to hunt personally, the surplus he and his friends can't fill are mine to sell for him. My commission is i get to hunt as well so everyones a winner. he like many are mad keen hunters and he will send me danish clients to shoot roe buck so its a mutual thing and all the hunting is a know thing rther then an agent just often sends clients somewhere without always checking the ground.

Tel Time Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 its great to shoot in those conditions, crisp, clean and at one with nature, unlike back here where i had to crawl 200 yards on my belly to get in a shootable position for a CWD, worth it though as some of it was cooked in a tangenie with spices and prunes and chick peas and oh my god it was fabulous.
