Did anyone else notice the comms? Everyone was wearing and ear piece. I have carried a walkie talkie with me for emergencies, but never wore an earpiece while hunting.
What I noticed in earpieces were better examples than any here in the states. Being of some major part Norde myself, saw resemblances of many relatives on that vid. Many faces looked eerily similar to farmers and ranchers in my family tree. you too? lol good portion of my family tree is only bout 100 years off the boat from over there.....just got a book this week on hunting in Europe....would love to hunt over there....completely different traditions and such....not sure why but really want to hunt capercaillie(big arse grouse, lot bigger than a sage hen, smaller than a turkey often hunted with rifles) in some place like Norway where they use treeing dogs to hunt them.....

http://tv.nrk.no/serie/ut-i-naturen/dnpr65008512/07-01-2014I was poking around that NRK TV site and found another hunting episode. This one features twin 20 something Norwegian sisters that like to shoot and hunt. At least I think they are twins, enjoy.

Hjortejeger;
Thanks so much for posting the link, I very much enjoyed watching the film.
We don't get the color changes in fall here that they do there, but otherwise the mountains looked not too different from ours.
It's very cool to see how hunters all over the world pursue their quarry, it's amazing how much in common we have despite the distance between us.
Thanks again and have a good weekend sir.
Regards,
Dwayne
