Norway

Hunting in Norway We are pleased to be able to offer Moose and trophy Reindeer hunting in the North Eastern part of Norway. Hunting traditions are strong and have been for many generations. Today we hunt Moose & Reindeer here, but it is also possible to hunt Capercaillie, Red & Roe Deer, Bear, Wolf, Wolverine and Lynx in some parts of the season.

Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Sporting Agency

Moose Hunting The moose hunting season starts 25th September and ends 23rd December. The best season for hunting moose is September and October. This is when the terrain is still dry and the weather is not so cold. November and December can also be good hunting months, though the snow and cold conditions can make the hunt more difficult. But if you are up for a new experience hunting on snow can be really exciting. The annual quota of 25-30 moose annually is set during the spring. Different techniques of hunting are used depending on the terrain of the

hunting area. In the open and less forested upper area we can use spotters to locate game and then sneak into position. The upper area is also suitable for hunting with a leashed dog, where the dog silently tracks down the game and creates shooting opportunities. The lower area is more densely forested and we prefer to use unleashed dogs to search for animals and, unlike the leashed dogs, bark at the game to try to pin it down and signal to the hunters. This form of hunting will get you close to the game and you will really feel up close and personal to the action.

it Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source. The deer of Central and Western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe. Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in size and antlers.

About Roe Deer The roe deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95–135 cm (3.1–4.4 ft), a shoulder height of 65–75 cm (2.1–2.5 ft), and a weight of 15–35 kg (33–77 lb). It has rather short, erect antlers and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short (2–3 cm

or 0.8–1.2 in), and barely visible. Only the males have antlers. The first and second set of antlers are unbranched and short (5–12 cm or 2.0–4.7 in), while older bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long with two or three, rarely even four, points. When the male’s antlers begin to regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which disappears later on after the hair’s blood supply is lost. Males may speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season. Unlike most cervids, roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed.

Pheasant Shooting Scotland

About Pheasants Pheasants refer to several genera within the subfamily Phasianinae, of the family Phasianidae in the order Galliformes. Pheasants are characterised by strong sexual dimorphism, males being highly ornate with bright colours and adornments such as wattles and long tails. Males are usually larger than females and have longer tails. Males play a part in rearing the young. Pheasants typically eat seeds and some insects. The best-known is the Common Pheasant. Various other pheasant species are popular in aviaries, such as the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus).

Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Sporting Agency

Driven Pheasant Shooting For sheer strength and power of flight pheasants are hard to beat. From the 1st October until the end of January, pheasants are the mainstay of many estates because they offer a great sporting challenge to sportsmen around the country. Driven high and fast, maybe drifting and curling with a tailwind to add extra spice, pheasants are a sporting test of experience and skill. We are lucky to offer excellent value for money and fantastic sport in Scotland. We also have exclusive days on some of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous pheasant and Partridge shoots which are certain to test the best shots in the game.

About Partridges Partridges are birds in the pheasant family, Phasianidae. They are a non-migratory Old World group. These are medium-sized birds, intermediate between the larger pheasants and the smaller quails. Partridges are native to Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Partridges are ground-nesting seed-eaters. According to Greek legend, the first partridge appeared when Daedalus threw his nephew, Perdix, off the sacred hill of Athena in a fit of jealous rage. Supposedly mindful of his fall, the bird does not build its nest in the trees, nor take lofty flights and avoids high places.

Woodcock Shooting Scotland

Woodcock Shooting The shout of “Woodcock forrard” is enough on its own to excite many people. After a ‘fall’ of Woodcock, when they’ve arrived fresh from Scandinavia, they’re most often seen flitting tantalisingly across snow laden forest rides. They are indeed a challenge with their silent jinking flight which makes them prized by many sportsmen. Loved and coveted as a surprise on a normal shooting day or specially sought out on a dedicated woodcock day they are certainly ‘special’.

Scotland’s Premier Sporting Agency

About Woodcock Woodcock have stocky bodies, cryptic brown and blackish plumage and long slender bills. Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads, which gives them 360° vision. Unlike in most birds, the tip of the bill’s upper mandible is flexible. As their common name implies, the woodcock are woodland birds. They feed at night or in the evenings, searching for invertebrates in soft ground with their long bills. This habit and their unobtrusive plumage makes it difficult to see them when they are resting in the day. Most have distinctive displays known as “roding”, usually given at dawn or dusk.

It has brownish grey hair over most of the body, a pale abdomen and slightly darker markings on the chin and throat and in a stripe along the back.

Driven Wild Boar

About Wild Boar Wild boar or wild pig (Sus scrofa) is a species of the pig genus Sus, part of the biological family Suidae. The species includes many subspecies. It is the wild ancestor of the domestic pig, an animal with which it freely hybridises. Wild boar are native across much of Northern and Central Europe, the Mediterranean region (including North Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlas Mountains) and much of Asia, including Japan and as far south as Indonesia. Populations have also been artificially introduced in some parts of the world, most notably the Americas and Australasia, where they are regarded as

both an important food resource and an environmental threat. Elsewhere, such as England, populations have also become established after escapes of wild boar from captivity

Previous generations relied on hunting for food and the extra income from venison and skin. Horses were needed to transport a big moose from the hunting terrain to the larder. Often a laborious task that could take 1-2 days.

Accommodation All our guest hunters will sleep in our high standard cabin in the middle of the hunting terrain. The cabin is fully equipped with 13 beds, 230V electricity, Wi-Fi and heating. The cabin also has its own wood-heated sauna which after a long day of hunting it is much appreciated to step into a hot sauna.

Hunting Moose hunting season starts 25th September and ends 23rd December. The best season for hunting moose is September and October. This is when the terrain is still dry and the weather is not so cold. November and December can also be good hunting months, though the snow and cold conditions can make the hunt more difficult. But if you are up for a new experience hunting on snow can be really exciting. The annual quota of 25-30 moose annually is set during the spring. Different techniques of hunting are used depending on the terrain of the hunting area. In the open

and less forested upper area we can use spotters to locate game and then sneak into position. The upper area is also suitable for hunting with a leashed dog, where the dog silently tracks down the game and creates shooting opportunities.

Additional information

The lower area is more densely forested and we prefer to use unleashed dogs to search for animals and, unlike the leashed dogs, bark at the game to try to pin it down and signal to the hunters. This form of hunting will get you close to the game and you will really feel up close and personal to the action.

You can bring your own rifles and by Norwegian law minimum calibre is 6,5×55, thought we recommend larger calibres as 308, 30-06 and 9,3×62. High-speed calibres and ammunition is not recommended when we often see that vegetation changes direction of the bullet.

Best way of travel is by airplane to Oslo Airport – Gardermoen. From airport it’s about 2.5 – 3 hour drive to the estate.

2015 Hunting Dates: 24th – 29th September and 4th – 9th October. Recommended number of days per hunt is 3 days.
