Dunkield Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 It comes in well considering how bad his call sounds compared to that stag! I wish I could shoot running deer like that, I just wouldn't have the confidence. Oh well, we get to practice at the range next month at least.

Suffolk shooter Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Some good videos there and some good shooting as well. The only complaint i have is the unsporting nature of the Ptarmigan shooting. Why wait until its in the tree not moving before shooting. Same as the Hare 10 foot from him? I realise different country, different culture, but not sporting none the less. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdunc Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 arnt they caperkellie (or what ever ) I reckon they're some of these fellows http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/...illie/index.asp Not sure of the numbers over those parts but they deserve a lot more respect than that in my opinion. Some of the deer shooting is very good some pretty poor. Interesting videos though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of quote. I think you are quite wrong there! Capercaillie hunting in Scandinavia is great sport. I agree that the guy shouting when he hits a bird and pointing his gun in all directions is not good advertisement for the sport, but he is Norwegian and they are a bit mad, most of them.... Back to subject. The caper is hunted in three different ways in Scandinavia; with pointing dog, with barking dog or sitting in the tree tops in winter. How pointing dogs work you all know. But do not for a moment make the mistake of thinking it is like walking up partridges or grouse. You often have to run beside the dog when it leaves the point to flush on order and then shoot at a bird you might see for only a second or two, if you see it at all. A caper never flushes in open areas. It runs in front of the dog for hundreds of meters (and you must hang on to it, so be fit!) and takes to the wing only when it is hidden by a wide and dense spruce or some other cover. There are rare occasions when they are forced to flush at the edge of a mire, but that's rare. Old cocks never make mistakes like that. The barking dog, a small spitz (either the Finnish spitz or the Swedish Norbbotten spitz) finds the birds on the ground, flushes them and follows as long as he can see them. Then he stops and listen for the bird getting into a tree, estimates how far away and runs in that direction. When he by sight, hearing and smell finds the exact tree where the bird sits, he barks under the tree. When hearing the dog, the hunter approaches, stalking the bird. This is EXTREMELY difficult! When he spots the bird, he shots it sitting. Yes, sitting! There are many reasons for that. If a spooked bird flies away there is no chance of getting it high up in the tree tops. Be lucky if you see it for half a second. But the main reason is that it would destroy the dog. The dog must only bark when he knows where the bird is. As soon as the bird moves, the dog must be quiet. Otherwise the dog will become dishonest, barking without having control of the bird, which results in the hunter trying to stalk a bird which is not indicated by the dog, which in practice means that neither of them know where the bird is. If there still is a bird around. So it is EXTREMELY important not to shoot any bird which does not sit and which the dog has not located by barking under the very tree. Otherwise you migh as well sell your dog as a pet. The stalk is the sport, and I tell you, it is exiting. Especially in the big wilderness of northern Sweden, where it is sometimes 150 miles between roads. You are there all alone with your dog, having permission to shoot over maybe 100 000 acres, bears, elks and lynx in the forest and those elusive, big and vary capercaillie cocks. Don't call it unsporty. Unsporty in the eyes of these guys is standing by a peg, shooting reared pheasants, no matter how high they are... And he will tell you that the higher the pheasant, the more likely it is it is only wounded, and he will ask you if you think that i etical. The shooting of capers in winter when they feed in the tops of fir trees is quite different. You use no dog and move around on ski, dressed in white and rifle wrapped in white. This time of the year the birds feed on fir needles. You have to stalk them very carefully and mostly have to take you shot at over 100 meters, often 200. Trying to shoot flying birds under these circumstances is ridiculous. But, by all means, try it if you like. I can fix you an invitation (a day permit will cost you £20 and the bag limit is 3 capers or black game plus 8 grouse or ptarmigan) and have somebody drop you and your skies a winter's day with 50 inches of snow with your shotgun somewhere in Lapland, 30 miles or so from the nearest human dwelling. Don't forget to bring matches and a good, heavy knife! You might need that to keep warm. Firewood is provided without any cost. Then you can shoot as many flying capers as the bag limit permits!

Sten Ch Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 You can watch the hunting of capercaillie with barking dog at http://www.jagareforbundet.se/jagarfilmforum/ Click the film called "Jakt med tradskallare". Not very often you see the bird as well as in this clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I thought that was amazing and very sporting Obviously the dude shouting and waving his gun around was a bit of fool but the hunting itself was really good Also, the guy shooting the running deer was top class, what a shot he was.
