Thank you for your response. This is quite interesting!
How about the rut - when does this occur?


Yes we can legally hunt at nights and/or darkness. During the wintertime our daylight in the southern parts of the Finland is about 7 hours long. In northern parts, Lappland, sun doesn't rise at all. Kinda like your Alaska.

Rut for the white tail is in November. Roe deer's it's around the end of the July-beginning of the August.

Just returned home as I was sitting couple of hours. No roes today. Heard some nearby but didn't show himself this evening.
Nice evening to spend in the forest though smile

So, you've got an American rifle with a Serbian action that you hunt with in Finland.

I've got a Finish rifle (Sako) with a Belgian action (FN) for hunting in America.

I'd say we're even, at least until you kill one of those American whitetails.

Had a good friend at work named Pentti that was from Finland. I used to tease him about riding reindeer to school when he was a boy, even though he was from the city and came to the U.S. when he was about 9.

Welcome.

Welcome!

That rifle photo is exceptional -- obviously when not hunting you are taking photographs.

Isn't the white-tailed deer a fine animal?

Good luck this year!
