Hi Paati,

Great photos, thanks for sharing!

I had a good grad school buddy who was in the Finnish army. I've been meaning to visit one day...

Good to see the next generation starting off right.

Paati,

I have or had some friends in Finland. Hopefully one day I might visit it.

A pretty good haul of game in the photos too, woodpigeon, duck, black grouse and moose!

Man, that must be a great hunting country you've got. Stateside, you'd never be allowed to have a youngster younger than 12 or 14(I forget which) actually hunting and carrying a rifle at that. Nor will you be able to hunt a calf of any species. Must be nice.

Thank's for comments.
My son is 3 1/2 years old so he doesn't really hunt yet but I hope that someday he will. In finland you have to accomplish hunting license but there is no age limit. If hunter is under 15 there must be supervisor if he use firearm.
That rifle on my sons arm is only a toy. We were "hunting" on our yard and we managed to get that pintail.

Paatti- I really enjoyed your pictures - especially your son holding the duck. our Franklin grouse look very similar to your black grouse- colour and re-eye patch, but our's don't have the white feathers and are a bit smaller.
: Is the meat dark on your black grouse? Our Frankins are also called Spruce grouse, as they eat spruce needles. I don't shoot them and I'd just as soon eat spruce needles, but many do.
; The pictures showing your surroundings, bush, property etc, could be anywhere around here as well - virtually identical.

Meat of the black grouse is quite dark. They mostly eat buds of the birches in wintertime and berries in autumn. I think their meat is quite delicious but extra care needed when cooked because it dries wery easily.

This one was also easy to eat


You can take some grouses when you take care of the varmints too

Big Coons. They didn't grow that big back in Ontario, Canada where I was raised. The colour is slightly different too, ours more grey with more of a 'Zorro' mask. The badger is quite similar to the ones in the Prairies here, bit pointier nose perhaps. Our crows don't have any grey feathers, and our hares here in BC are smaller and called Snowshoe hares - turning white in winter. Back in Ontario, we had European hares which looked identical to yours, or course. A beaver appears to be a beaver anywhere.
; Your Valmet looks identical to the T33 Trap Savage I had back in 1974. Same action - very tight shooter.

Coons and raccoon dogs are not the same species. They are not even relatives.

Beavers in my pictures really look same than yours in Canada, because it is canadian beaver. Thera are also european beaver in Finland. European beaver is smaller and tail is more narrow.

Valmet made some Savage models. At least 212 and 312 are sold under Savage names in North American markets.

Great hunting photos and great to see the young ones with you. The photos remind me so much of when I lived in Alaska in the early '70s. Terrain, animals, trees, etc.
Keep us posted with your adventures. List some of the calibers of the rifles and handguns you are using.
Thank you,

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.

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!

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.

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.

Do the crows come down to harass the eagle owl? Crows do that with hawks here. That looks to be an excellent way to draw them in for a shot.

Yes they do. Shooting crows with eagle owl decoy is traditional way to shoot them here in northern europe.

Thanks for sharing.

Back to the scope for evening hunts: have you compared the Meopta with other scopes of higher price e.g. Zeiss, Swaro, S&B? I'm in need of a new kytiskivääri, and I would hate to spend 1500€ on a scope... You can PM me.

Nice work, an old famous Swedish Moosehunter said that Moosehunting should be light an easy, the same with hunting
Roedeer in Paattis way. What rifle did you use? // staffan

Thanks.
We use traditional Finnish way to hunt those two. Decoying and calling them. We hunt also by walking them up without a dog. I thought that rough shooting is right term for that kind of hunt.

Here is one more photo from our hunt. Mallard triple and goldeneye taken with s/s. All of them jump out same time so there was little bit of speed loading

Time to add couple of fresh ones

Moose cow taken with sako battue 9,3x62 and woodleigh 285gr sprn


Same moose another photo.
Two norwegian grey moose dogs which again do most of of the job. Normally use only one dog but this time they worked too close each others and other one thought that it is better to work united.

Did a overnight trip to my other hunting territory on lake Saimaa. Planned to hunt beaver and small predators

it was allready dark when I arrived to the camp


Got sms from a friend that I will not be alone in the forest


There was still too heavy ice cover so beaver hunting was hopeles

Both dogs disappearred after interesting tracks and I found another from this set


Finally after some strugling I managed to bagged badger and a raccoondog and also found both dogs

Car hit the adult moosecow and it limped in to the darkness with three legs. Tracked it with the dog after it goes to the river and continues next morning. Dog found it quite near the river about 7km from the place where car hit it and I finally managed to put the stop for its suffering.

Paati

I always enjoy your photos, and you inspire us with your photos, myself to put an occasional photo of hunting stuff done here. Whether a simple hare, duck, or something bigger.

I enjoy your snowy photos.

BTW regarding your German Jagd Terrier. I had my first encounter with one at Staffan's. Horrible little monster, grunting and growling away as it followed some sort of trail. Unfortunately for me the end of the hunt, both that day and in Sweden as it was the last hunt before I left. The dog reaching me, meant the hunt was all over.

Thanks guys. I have had a good season so far. Snow situation is not too good now. We have guite a much of it right now and its quite soft so it really is a tough job to go through it by walking, skiing or by car.

Jagd terriers are like that You can remember one when you see it first time and then its up to you if you like them or not. They are not so elegant but when its about hunting jagds going full steam ahead.

I should have said "Like a horrible little monster". Just the impression.

Congratulations on the boar. The first in your hunting area, are they colonising new lands?

Thank you John. They slowly colonising Finland starting from Russian border but still less than 200 boars are shot in Finland yerly.
Daryl I spined it but not from a tree stand. 120 meter freehand shot standing on a ground. Hit bit higher where I ment it but dropped it.

Nice, as usual!
Indeed, the climate is probably a bit too harsh for the wild boar in Finland.

Have you swapped the Meopta scope for a Zeiss?

LOL! LOL!

2 Zeiss scopes? So you think they're worth the extra money over the Meopta?
We didn't compare the scopes although we discussed it... My fault - I've been in the neighborhood so I should have dropped you a note.

Quality / price ratio is about the same with zeiss and meopta but I think that zeiss illuminated n.60 reticle is close to ideal for overall/night time use.

Thanks!
Its the last day of a hunting year today in here so its time to turn new page. I have 2 new dog for this season and hope that they both will do their job. Hopefully some good moments ahead.

That was one of the most memorable hunts of last hunting year.
