Seems she always catches bigger fish than you do.

She does...


And shoots bigger Mule Deer, Kudu, Hartebeest.........etc.

That is a nice boar Hamburg81!

Since ingwe broke the ice here is a picture of an opening day pronghorn from Wyoming. The hunter had not hunted them for the last 26 years.

Thanks for that picture EH.

Can you tell us if it is true that those antelopes require long shots ?

As an expat that has been working in Sweden for the past three years. I have been lucky enough to take some very nice trophies in the past few seasons but a nice bull moose has eluded me. I took a week off to try to get it done but no luck so far. Been on five moose this week but only cows, calves and one small bull. Trying to hunt them solo like I grew up doing out west for elk and blacktails in the timber. I found a shed from a thee year old bull that is still on the property but haven't been able to spot him yet. He would be worth looking at this year. I sat on a stand until dark last night. I could hear something large working in the forest but couldn't tell if it was moose or boar. Having three roe deer does within 100 yards for over an hour I had good wind but whatever it was would not break the tree line. In the last couple minutes of shooting light a respectable 6 point roebuck came in to 30 yards. An easy shot and quick drag made it too hard not to pull the trigger so I settled on the buck for the evening. Back out for the bull in the morning. Skitjakt!

Congrats.

Is that an Heym sr30 ?

Yes it is.
It belongs to my Swedish hunting partner whom has been gracious enough to make it available to me for the duration of my stay. So foreign yet warmly familiar when compared to my rifles back in the states. It is accurate, handles well and is well suited to hunting then entire globe. The workmanship, fit and finish are impeccable. I have been very successful with it so it has a permanent place in my heart.

It depends on the terrain a particular herd inhabits. I have taken them with a handgun at 50 yds and as far as 930 yds with a rifle. I was out this weekend and had them anywhere for 300 yds to 750 yds. Too warm to shoot one as I did not have a cooler with me. Hopefully next weekend.

How's this for Swedish fish?


I took this salmon (lax) earlier this year from Lake Vanern in Sweden. The largest lake in the EU.

Gutted out it weighed 5.7kilos = 12.5lbs. I figure live weight was around 15lbs...

What do you think about a wild boar like this ????

That's a nice one. Here is my best from two years ago in Sweden. CIC Silver Medal

Dat makes our feral hogs look like babies!









How about I throw an Axis in here for fun?
