Finally i got my Mr Capercaillie.Today i was out hunting with my sister. Last year at the same time we was out hunting for a couple of days without any luck. So this time we was looking for revenge. We had not been skiing so far when we got in contact with some Black Grouse and i managed to shoot one of them. We got our revenge =)
One hour later in the dense forest we heard the sound from wings, no doubt that it was capercailllie wings. We moved out to some more open land trying to see if they had flown there. I took up my binoculars and started to looking towards a group of pinetrees. In one of the pinetree a capercaillie was sitting. Just after i discovered the first capercaillie another one joined. This was going to be hard, 300-400meters from us they were sitting with just open land between us. two-three pinetrees between us had to do as cover. After a long crawling trip itowards the pinetrees beetween me and the capercaillies i finally got there. I got ready to take the shot and squeezed the trigger slowly. When the shot went, a capercaillie came down from the big pinetree! Pure Happiness!
A really good hun
ting day in the winter landscape =)
