I drove out to Skröven for hunting I arrived 10.10 just after it gets bright enough. Then I had skiied for 200m I took of my sweater and put it in my backpack and loaded the Bergara 300blk I skiied 100m more more and then I saw hmmm is what a blackgrouse? Yes took support on my backpack and shot it. After what I skiied for 5-6km did only see tracks of caper, black grouse and hazel grouse. The weather brought a bit snow but I also had a bit sun with pink clouds and some blue sky, -9-13c really nice. I came back to my car 14.15 in then it begunn to get dark.

Awesome. How do you prepare and cook the bird?

[KimE 487]

I skin it, salt and pepper fry the outside in butter, cook it ready in a kettle with an onion and a carrot. Make a gravy of the fond in the kettle after i have taken up the bird and some creme fraiche. Serves with boiled potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Lovely mate .Good to read about other forms of hunting around the globe .

Yes this is a similar type of small game hunting you guys do, its easy to find areas for small game here and its huge areas with very little people.

I actually had a first light hunt for fox. No fox and no people.

To cold for them.

Then this afternoon I found a few wild birds that have been around for ages but I've not seen them this season until today so I put a stalk in on them. One hour later I got a shot. The hen birds were on to me early but the cock birds were to busy digging for acorns.

Twas touch and go and very cold.
