Thanks for posting that! I really love the Nordic hunting style. You folks have a unique way of hunting that is very enjoyable and very effective. What part of Norway are you located in?

Very nice I enjoyed the film. I did not know you had red deer in Norway.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Do you notice that most of the rifles are old military Mauser 98's and many of them still have the old stepped barrels....8MM probably? Interesting stocks on many of them and all of them have high class glass and mounts. All of them look pretty comfortable outdoors. Great video. I wish I could speak Norwegian.

That is a cool film. Gorgeous country to do anything in, hunt, fish, walk around.

I really enjoyed the film and couldn't help note the lack of those cute little camo costumes so prevalent among American hunters.

Even though I couldn't understand a word of it, I enjoyed it more than any American hunting show I've seen lately, which are little more than a commercial. Got a kick out the guy shooting deer out of his second story window, at night and with a suppressor.

Thank you; I too enjoyed it. I noticed some older Mausers, a couple of Sauers, Zeiss optics and one Leupold scope along with some "red dots". There seem to be a fair amount of suppressors.

Got a kick out the guy shooting deer out of his second story window, at night and with a suppressor. I agree. Certainly captured the camaraderie and spirit of the hunt. One more thing: no camo--who knew?

Quick sidetrip: George - do you think that we are going to be allowed suppressors here in Iowa?

5sdad, Here in Sweden not only do we have ample supplies of potato bologna, but suppressors are regarded by most people as good things too. The jury is split on lutefisk, however. Suppressors are seen as consideration for your neighbors, and a way to avoid hearing loss. When I lived in Canada and the USA, I always thought that it was strange that the law treated them like something evil from a 1940's gangster movie. I hope you get to use them in Iowa with few (or no) restrictions soon. I do not have a supressor, but I have toyed with the idea of getting one for my .375 Ouch & Ouch -- those moose would never know what hit them! John

There is a bill in the legislature at the current time. We will see how it plays out. As to the film - beautiful country - the scenery, to me, is a huge part of the hunt - I loved the cabins with the sodded roofs - there seemed to be a dearth of paracord slings utilized .

John, I don't know about the suppressors in IA. First I had heard it was under consideration was here on the 'campfire in the general forum. They certainly make sense in some ways but seem a bit impractical in others; I.e, I understand they are quite expensive and I'm certainly not going to have every barrel I have threaded for one should they become legal. I do have a Ruger MK ll 22/45 that is threaded and I certainly would get one for that. Finally, aesthetically, what looks to be a soup can on the end of a barrel must be an acquired taste. Back to the subject; the scenery is indeed stunning!

I've hunted with suppressors in RSA, and I think they are wonderful. At the same time, they are ugly as homemade sin and you don't want to get in the thick brush with them. They will save not only your ears, but those around you and the game does not freak at every shot.

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.
Anyone know where this is filmed in Norway. A dear friend married a Norwegian woman and I have been on his case for a couple years to go there for a hunt.

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.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.
