Since Finns have Red Deer, a species so similar to Elk (Wapiti) that debate rages on if both are not same, the mistake might be this. Hence my question - what does he want to hunt. Moose? Red deer? Roe deer? Apart from a few introduced whitetails and Santa raindeer -nothing else availabe deer wise in Finland. Member of the Merry Band of turdlike People.

They have also Reindeer . About Moose finns call it "HIRVI" what in direct translation mean deer. JamesB660 Moose is most common Finnish game and shooted over 50 000 per year. Good places are south-west and central-north part of Finland...

In Norsk, they are Elghunds. "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors. Partying and celebrating one moment, and huddled in lifeboats freezing the next".

Evidently, we don't want to give the Norwegians too much credit for doing good things, or producing good dogs. John
