A little different than most US based films?
At time 13:16 the guide looks absolutely miserable and worn down :sleep:
Ovini does a lot of sheep hunting around the world and judging from his other hunts, he is in above average physical condition.
For those of you that mainly strap the rifle to a backpack or into a weapon carrier like Slik Sling, a bungee-cord might be a functional add-on.
It'll quickly lock the rifle across your chest or back so you have both hands free for a quick/silent final approach.
I find it especially useful as...
Nothing special about this film, just me finally knocking down a chamois with a traditional singleshot rifle, the kipplauf (for those intereste, mine has a Jaegerlock).
This hunt is somewhat limited access in Europe, and as a foreigner not something that's easy to do alone. It's been a lifelong...
I'm not sure how to pitch this, so I'll jsut throw out a few thoughts and hopefully the thread will shape into something useful:
Mountain hunting is not "mountain hunting period". Climate (temperature, wind, humidity, visibility) vary too much. Incline can go from slight to vertical...
Here's part two where we hike backcountry to hunt birds over dogs. I've not been able to capture the dogwork properly, but the hiking and stalking should be covered well enough. I guess it's a fairly exotic hunt here, but the camping routines etc should be about the same as you'd find in any...
Just something different for you guys, "treskjellerjakt" which directly translates to "tree barking hunting".
For these birds the dog will find the bird, follow it to a tree, bark (to call the hunter) and mark which tree the bird is sitting in.
The hunter sneaks in and hopefully are able to spot...
Here's something a little different which you might enjoy, backcountry hunting for ptarmigan. There's a lot of work going into this hunt, but it's very rewarding.
Good skis, wind resistant clothing over wool, dress hands and feet properly are my most important points. I prefer to glass and...
Editing hunting films is the closest I get to deer hunting these days.
PS: If anyone know of a scabbard backpack that's better than the Eberlestock (which sits like a corkscrew and is inferior to all my alpine packs), please let me know as my google-fu is unable to discover any.
