larcher,

What was the count? It looks like you had a good hunt.

gryphon,

Looks like you had a good haul as well, was the meat as good as it looks?

Waidmannsheil to you both!

What a monster! Congratulations on a very nice bull. I forget if I have asked this already, but is he going to be shoulder mounted or a Euro skull or skull cap mount?

I think for a Swedish alg/moose that one deserves the full treatment.

It will be a skull mount..logistics precluded me from doing anything other.

BTW freight between here and Sweden is horrendously priced,I sent a hunting knife that was $60 freight and I sent a medium sized book that was $40 ..what? forty bucks for just a fkn book?
The antlers/skull due to the box size? Well thats gonna be fkn bad.

gryphon,

I'm thinking it's fkn silly for me to be asking about you getting the meat home too, correct?

Don't know what the rules are in Aussie land with regard to importing meats but it sounds like the point could be mute based on shipping charges alone.

Regards,

Mark

550 KILOS live weight...you bet it is cost prohibitive.

Thats 1200 pounds in Imp.

Anyway due to our strict laws here getting raw meat in is imo impossible even a fillet steak from anything wild.

I ate moose and roe deer in Sweden and both were excellent meat.

That's a tremendous bull John. A pity I wasn't there when you got it.

for my pictures, it was sort of a nightmare. During our last beat hunt week end, we badly needed that the red deer minimum be shot. Instead, 103 wild boars and 23 roe deer but no red deer.
We sold the game but the truck that came had no hydraulic tailgate. We asked a farmer to help with a forklift.
One is always pleased with a large bag, but then it was too much, a pain to store all of this game, a pita to sell the whole lot.

John,

The one I saw was similar size. First time I ever got 'buck fever', but not in not being able to take the shot, but in trying to count the number of points or tynes. Couldn't count. Calmed down and counted at least five on one side, but couldn't see the other side. So waited. He put his head down to feed. How easy a shot would that have been !!!!!!!!!!!!! Lifted it, I saw the other side was good enough, he took a step and was gone ..... fffffffffff!!!!!!


Ha ha. Think I got to see him last year though when Ule/Ole shot him. Best every head taken in that forest per the others.


I know the cost of sending stuff to and from Sweden and Norway, mate! Sending stuff from Denmark was half the price on my first trip several years ago.

Sweden's licensed seal hunt began Wednesday with a record-high number allowed to be shot.
Published onsdag 16 april kl 15:37
Share

400 gray and harbour seals can be culled up until the end of 2014, which is a record number since the licensed hunt began in 2001.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has also extended the coastal areas where seals can be shot and fishermen themselves can take part from their boats if they aquire the appropriate license.

The agency is acting on behalf of the Swedish fishing industry, which says the voracious seals devour fish caught in their nets as well as damage equipment.

Glenn Fridh, a 50-year-old fisherman in Blekinge, where seals can be shot for the first time this year, tells Radio Sweden that he has been forced to move into shallower coastal waters to avoid the seals, but they are even appearing there.

"For the past year, the seals have been coming between the islands, really close to the coast, so I don't know what is going to happen in the future," says Fridh.

Hunters have fallen short of reaching quota numbers in the past, but Fridh says it is not easy to shoot a seal.

"They are a big problem because when you are out at sea, the wind makes the sea go up and down so you never see the seals. You just see later that they have been there with pieces of fish left in the nets," Fridh tells Radio Sweden.

"Stray bison which charmed rural village in Poland shot dead by local farmers who feared it was seducing all of their cows

A stray bison which charmed a village of Poles has been shot dead by local farmers who feared the animal was seducing all of their cows.

The animal, nicknamed Bartek the Bison, first appeared in Lakiele in autumn and quickly became a staple of village life.

But after spending time grazing with cattle herds, the bison attracted the attention of the village's cows.


To the horror of local farmers, the livestock stopped returning to their barns to be milked at night instead staying in the field with Bartek.

After calling a village meeting, the farmers agreed the animal should be killed despite protests from other residents.

The town's mayor, Jan Zaborowski, said the animal was causing no harm to the majority of the village.

'Despite his great size he was very gentle and was even given the name Bartek. We have no idea where he came from or how he got there, but he didn’t do any harm.

'He interested the locals and so he was fed and nobody bothered him. As a result although he was nervous at the start he began to spend more time in the local pastures than in the forest.
The animals stopped returning to their barns at night to be milked, instead staying out to graze with Bartek


'At night the cows would stay with him rather than in their barn. I guess he was building himself a family and a herd of his own which is perfectly natural.

'But that didn’t impress the owners of the cows who were used to them coming home in the evening to be milked. All of a sudden they were staying out with the bison instead.'"

London council issues advice on shooting foxes

A London council has offered advice to its residents on shooting foxes in a bid to rid themselves of the urban pest.

Wandsworth Council has issued guidelines on fox control which include baited traps, snaring, shooting, and starving the animals.

The Conservative-run authority insists it is not advocating any method, but merely offering advice for residents who have a fox problem.

“Shooting is not usually appropriate in urban areas, but where it is carried out, care must be taken to ensure the safety of the public and other wildlife,” the council states.

“If a vixen is shot during breeding season, the den has to be traced and the whole family of cubs humanely killed.”


It suggests starving the foxes is the “most humane and natural way” to kill them, and advises residents not to leave food, meat, and household waste lying about.

The council warns that poisoning foxes is illegal, as other pets and other animals could be at risk, but snaring is acceptable provided the traps are visited at least once a day.

The advice adds: “Baited cage traps can be used successfully in urban areas but captured foxes have to be humanely killed by shooting or by a vet.”

While making clear the council “does not deal with foxes”, it has said the methods suggested are legal and acceptable for Wandsworth residents.

The guidelines, first published two years ago, have been re-issued by the south London council in response to a Facebook campaign for new wheelie bins.

One resident, from Tooting, has complained that foxes are ripping through the bin bags left out for collection, leaving rubbish strewn across the streets.

In response, the council has urged residents to buy their own bins to “limit food supply” to the foxes, and only put out bin bags on the day of collection.

Fox hunting was banned as a sport in 2004 by the then-Labour government, but last year Mayor of London Boris Johnson called for a crackdown on the pests after a spate of attacks. "

he is a hunter:

"White-beaked dolphins trapped in the ice and eaten by polar bears
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) depend on sea ice, where they hunt ice-associated seals. However, they are opportunistic predators and scavengers with a long list of known prey species. Here we report from a small fjord in Svalbard, Norwegian High Arctic, a sighting of an adult male polar bear preying on two white-beaked dolphins (Lagenorhynchus albirostris) on 23 April 2014. This is the first record of this species as polar bear prey. White-beaked dolphins are frequent visitors to Svalbard waters in summer, but have not previously been reported this far north in early spring. We suggest they were trapped in the ice after strong northerly winds the days before, and possibly killed when forced to surface for air at a small opening in the ice. The bear had consumed most parts of one dolphin. When observed he was in the process of covering the mostly intact second dolphin with snow. Such caching behaviour is generally considered untypical of polar bears. During the following ice-free summer and autumn, at least seven different white-beaked dolphin carcasses were observed in or near the same area. We suggest, based on the area and the degree to which these dolphins had decayed, that they were likely from the same pod and also suffered death due to entrapment in the ice in April. At least six different polar bears were seen scavenging on the carcasses."
