paatti, I was to busy looking at the pictures to read the words. In the original post you say the handgun is used for cave hunting. What do you hunt in caves? How is it done?
I know this is not the forum for military history, but some info or more pictures of the old battlefields would interest me. You are lucky to have such good hunting available, and I see you use what you shoot. Great

The term cave hunting might be wrong but I mean fox, badger and racoondog hunting under ground with assistance of terrier or similar dog. We have some places here which really are small caves.

Picture is taken on Änäkäisen linja where two Finnish batallions ErP 12 and ErP 13 fight one week against Russian strengthened infantry regiment during Winter War. Kivivaara couple of kilometres east is the first place where Red army cross the border during Winter War.

Nitro, I love seeing Paati's pix!

But, alas, I apologize...I am on a decrepit and sluggish phone line system {remote, old and outdated...} that makes for very slow uploads and sometimes they time out. Is there any way to size the pix down a bit?

I'm a big fan of the posts from Suomi and want to see them all!

Hey, Paati: Not far from Kivivaara the Reds got introduced to your kivaari's, too, yes?

Interesting. Do you have the dogs bring the fox or badger out of the holes or close to the entry and shoot them, or do you dig or reach in after them. We have nothing like that here. Our underground animal is the wombat, and it is protected, and is not a serious pest, just a bit of a nuisance sometimes by damaging fences. We usually put a lift up gate where they want to go, and leave them alone. They are very good at killing dogs who persue them underground.

I hunt foxes by inviting them to me, with a whistle call, or by spotlighting them at night when they hunt and feed, or by sitting near their tracks and waiting for them to go home after a night of pestering livestock. I have only ever found them in their dens a few times, and those dens were in fallen timber.

I did once shoot a feral dog crossed with some dingo that was living in an old mine tunnel. I was much younger then, and never thought of the 30-30 as a loud and painfull gun to fire. One shot in a long rock tunnel that was only about six feet high and 4 feet wide enlightened me.

Your'e country did well against the Russians. You are lucky to have such a proud military history and people who remember it. I hope the recent tradgedy in your country does not have too many bad effects. In Australia the scavangers are already calling for more laws and restrictions here because of it. I am sure they like to see such tradgedies and suffering, as it supports their cause.

Normally dog chasing game out of the cave or block or hold out animal until hunter could reach the game. There is no dog which could actually bring adult badger out and dogs which try to do it are quite short-lived. Good badger hunting dog is also a good dog for racoondog and fox.
Nowdays I try to use electronic earmuffs everytime I have to shoot under ground.

Try viewing these threads "threaded" ie so only one post at a time loads.

I also use dial-up a lot. Currently on a wireless network but the limit will be reached today so back to dial-up myself. Broadband was the only way I saw all of Paati's photos myself!

Those pants are Finish army m-91 pants. Same than on third picture and the one where is black grouse tied on backpack. Camo pattern is quite good but that suit isn't best for hunting.
