Plus the chance to hopefully snap a cap or two off in a new Rigby shotgun (hoping!?) at some feathered creatures and maybe participate in the moose hunting season.

---

i think it should be doable to find a pheasant or two, for you to have fun with along with a new rigby
i also think that roebuck will be on the agenda, when you come, as they are really hard to stalk this time of year.

i am really looking forward to be spending time with you here in the cold north

Hope you get to fish for salmon in the River Tana with local Saami. Maybe ask at the Tromso cultural centre for local advice?

---

That unfortunately will have to be for later visit, as John will be occupied in the southeastern part of Norway hunting Capercaillie, Black Grouse, and moose.

Although nothing is ever guaranteed when hunting these species, I certainly hope I'll be able to present some chances at each for him.

Capercaillie have always fascinated me.

---

If you visit many of the mansions and palaces (of "old" Europe) there are many capercaillie mounted on the walls as it was (or is) evidently regarded as a difficult "trophy" to hunt.

Looking forward to it.

What!? No moose tied to a tree conveniently for me?

Ha ha. I think it will be great fun just being there and getting to participate and join in the experience.

I agree with this.

The Norwegians, Swedes and Finns have a hunting culture that is second to none.

I really do wish you all the best.

Just remember, John, bring a few bottles of your best!

Had John been here not long ago, he could have shot the one that came to the house almost every day to lick on a salt stone behind the garage. Didn't even have to rope it in to keep it around.
