Hello.
30 year old hunter from Norway.
Hunt pretty much everything Norway have to offer.
things like, grouse, moose, reindeer, deer, capercaillie.
In Norway it's a big tradition to use dogs.
I have one vorsteh, and one english pointer.
Maybe I can share more stories about this later.
And maybe also some hunting pictures.
I have a dream of some day go hunting in NZ, thats why i joined this page :)

It's in the Norwegian wilderness, you might say. There you have both wolf and bear.
I actually heard the wolves howling early in the morning.
Welcome.
Your hunting in NZ! a good place to start is joining the NZDA they run hunts etc.

Don't know how things are in NZ regarding prices for hunting, but in Norway it varies.
This is how things works for Big game (Moose and deer) Usually, you pay one basic fee, lets say 80 nz dollars. And on top of that you pay around 100 NOK per kilo (after slaughter)
If you dont plan on bringing the meat home to NZ, you have to sell it. And then a Norwegian veterinary have to approve the meat.( as a main rule, if you want to sell the meat to a store or restaurant )
If you own the forest ( like I do ) you don't pay anything, and you get the meat for free.
Small game is easier, then you just pay one fee for a week or the whole season.
Me and my father have rented a small game area for three years ( where the picture with the dogs)
But off course, hunting in another country is much easier if you know someone in that country.
Here is a youtube video, that shows how you hunt moose with a Norwegian elkhound

Velkomen Erik, looks like you took the moose with a Sako 75. What caliber?

Here we hunt for free and shoot as much as we can carry on public land,private land ranges from knowing the owner to far more than the average kiwi could ever afford.
Interesting the moose didn't look to be concerned by the dog barking at all, I would have expected it to attack the dog or take flight.Quote:

Think that one was with a Norma Oryx 285 grain bullet
Range about 220 meters
Don't know how popular that bullet is in other countries. But it's really popular in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

This one here, was taken with the same rifle. But another brand
Lapua Mega 285 grain.
The deer came running, hit the ground after 30 meters.
I know! The dog will bark as long the moose is standing still. At least that is by the book.Quote:

You walk while the dog is barking, so it dos not hear you . And of course you have to be aware of the wind direction.
I shot a moose at close range this October, about 10 meters I think, when the dog was barking. in Norway we call it " Los"
The thing is to stay calm in this situation. I'm sure you can imagine the adrenaline pumping when going "head to head" whit these big animals
They also hunt Bears the same way. Then you need a very strong psyched dog (and hunter )
That kind of money can be both private and public land.Quote:

You own a forest? :D Forum trip!!!!
Beautiful dogs - I had a Norwegian Elkhound/West Siberian Laika cross which was a fantastic dog.Quote:
