Lucky man for shooting a beaver in the water :) You have to hit the brains if you don't want it to just dive away. Nice video. And weird that he didn't get any hares! :D
The thing is, Norway has always been a hunter-gatherer society, and most of todays hunters were brought up in a family of hunters. I myself hunt moose on the same land that my family has for about 150 years. Out of all the 5M ppl in Norway, less than 4% hunt. Less than 20% of theese are from major cities. Its not about the sport, but rather tradition, the source of food and a link back to when life was a little less complicated. I love hunting, for me its a connection to my ancestry and identity
It is nice to see that you still have enough white hare and wild roosters to hunt, in our country all animals that you shoot in the video are protected becouse there is to small population of them, but not becouse of hunters, in the places where they´ve lived are now massive ski centers, but that´s where the money came from.... Where was that filmed, somewhere in Scandinavia? I would love to hunt there, especially the little wild rooster inspires me...Sorry for my bad english Greetings from Slo
I liked that video... i've never EVER been hunting but my mate has promised to take me with his 4 bore?? i'm looking forward to it. Not into killing the little rabits though haha, did you eat the beaver? i presume it was a beaver?
In some places there are just to many beavers. I just shoot them with a bow, and a string attached to the arrow.... or else i wouldn't be able to get it out of the water lol.
@olyansincs Feel free to start with me =) I hunt and I truly enjoy it. It's not all killing and mindless shooting, it's experiencing the great outdoors, connecting with nature in a way that can't be explained to a urban treehugger. It's exciting, liberating and really a great way to connect with something within yourself. Hunting is a harvest of nature's surplus, and I'm pretty sure I have a far deeper respect for nature than you'll ever have =)
I don't mean to come off hard I just get the wrong idea's from a lot of the video's on youtube. Most hunter's take the easy way out. Kudo's to you and your friends that took part in the hunt's nice video. How does the beaver taste? good eaten?
Another great inspirational video from Kristoffer. A bit sad to read all the negative stuff from anti-hunting people, they probably never spent days even weeks studying animals, learning there sounds and sites to become a hunter. To hunt an animal is not easy as it seems in a video, another thing is the animal is happy living a natural life until it's killed and consumed, it's not bread in a box with steroids in inhumane conditions. Negative people can turn off, don't watch, dont comment...
Cool, I'm aware of what they are. I used them in the Army. It's cool you can use them for hunting. Great idea for reducing noise pollution and protecting your ears. The accuracy issue is interesting. We never used them on the M24 or other long guns in the military. I will have to ask my gunsmith about that. HollyWood Movies have given them a bad name over here so they are difficult to obtain. Typical propaganda. Good luck hunting! You should come over to my farm in WI for some monster Whitetail.
Your right it's a Black grouse Orre in Swedish. The sport part in hunting has never been a part of hunting culture in Scandinavia, is has always been ordinary people getting food. Now we dont need to hunt but the way we lock at it still is the same. we would never call it just sport or just shooting. In a Scandinavian ear it sounds very foppish. The safer kill the better, is the al thru attitude, and shooting them only when moving flying/running seems like just playing around.
it sucks that no one can post a great hunting video here without some hippy coming in and throwing flowers everywhere. hippy season is about to start though, gonna max out on tags again this year :)
@Ah4b Ok, so they shoot for fun. That does not mean that the meat goes to waste. If they don't save the meat for themselves it gets sold to meatdealers and restaurants. I'd rahter eat something that got to live and growed up in the free, knowing it had the best of worlds while living. Than eating some processed meat in the restaurant. Meaning, they don't only supply for themselves, they supply for others.
and did you know that industrial chicken were born in a cage, born to die, never leaving this half m² ? i guess hunting is one of the honest ways to get a meal - these geese had a good life and a quick death.
@XxJellyyBellyyxX well, I'm a hunter and I will never kill an animal that I don't won't to eat. I'm a fisher too and I don't understand this simple thing: why on youtube every hunting video has a lot of dislikes and fishing video doesn't? It seems to me hypocrisy. Just my opinion but I think that most of hunting detractors don't understand what hunting really means...
