Striking photos. I can't tell much about the second one. Is that a CISM rifle? What caliber? An Auerhahn (black cock)?

Interesting pictures as always Paatti. We don't have racoon dogs (Mårhund) here yet, but I have no doubt that they eventually will migrate towards us through Sweden.

Paatti,

Do you have a quota for lynx, or can you shoot as many as you want?

In Finland you can hunt lynx only if you have licence. We had one licence for about 80 000 hectares. Not too many. My hunting area is about 5 600 hectares and nowdays minimum 5 lynxes lives or visits here regularly. If we are lucky enough we might get another licence for this winter. Our hunt in this area lasts about 2,5 hour.

Are you allowed to hunt bobcats in your country?, Lynxes in Spain is heavily protected because there are very few copies. Beautiful photographs. Is there raccoons in Finland?

There is no bobcats in Finland. Bobcat (lynx rufus) is American species.
We have raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides)in Finland but not raccoons(Procyon lotor).

Thank you for your compliment.

We hunt lynx by dog. We have use finnish hound but also american fox houds or other hounds and sometimes spitz or laika type dogs have used. Normally one dog at a time. First we track down lynx first and when we approximately know where it might be, we set hunters in place. Then release the dog to the track or follow the track with dog attached to the line and when lynx escapepes then release dog. Normally shotguns are used (3,5 - 5,2 mm shots) but sometimes rifles too and combiguns are guite popular also.
