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.

Patti
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,
