Another Predatorhunt has begun!!

Today me and dad went out to do some Pikefishing, we were fishing in shallow water at midday for smaller pikes with lighter gear. The sun was smashing on us best weather day this year with a slight breeze from the west, we got a total of five pikes on this trip and kept the one in the picture a perfect sized fish for our light gear. It hooked on a Rapala Original Jointed in water no deeper then 5 feet and weighed in on 5lb (2,5kg). We are heading back out there again Tuesday evening for a feeding frenzy (i hope hehehe).

A new Swedish forum for Predatorhunters!!!

Hi gang!! things are slow now over the summer months so i would like to promote a new Swedish predatorhunting forum, it´s really small for the moment but as we dont have much hunting to do maybe some of you out there with that extra something for predatorhunting would register and tell us about what your favourtie hunt is.
http://dalajakt.forum24.se/dalajakt.html
See this as a chance to become member of a smaller and more personal forum were we can share pictures and stories of future and of course past hunts, registartion is free so start with a personal presentation and then we´ll see how things will turn out.
Im going to be there as often as i can and for anyone of you with questions regarding Foxcalling can contact me through that forum.

Have a great summer!!!

The use of extra shooters!!

I were out this morning calling with two friends (Johan and Andreas) for Redfox, on the second stand this mangy male came in on my Bolivian Rosewood closed reed from the stone coyote ´s den.
Rudy your call did it again!!

In the pic is my friend Johan with his Brno 22 hornet, he took the fox 70 yards out in the field from were i was calling (he was best positioned of us three).
Great morning as Johan been with me on a few empty stands before, they both were amazed how determined the fox looked as he crossed the field coming to my call....

Welcome March!

I went out the other day to look after lynxtracks on the north side of the hill we hunt, that place was the only with some snow left after the latest weeks of warm weather. I´ve been out for one lynxhunt we were 14 guys out there, 7 of us pushed through the wood bush by bush but nothing came out at the 7 shooters end of the wood. As for the lack of snow in this region dont think there´ll be any moore tries to go after them, only if we get some good tracking snow but at the looks of the weather today im doubting.......

Foxcalling then? well to be honest i´ve been on the lazy edge of hunting, i have been busy looking for a new job, meeting up with old friends and all the other no good reasons to stay home from the hunt hahahaha! No guys i have to make a go for it this week, the winds have been petty strong for about two weeks now so im waiting for some calm weather to call in. You could alllways send me a pic or a story of your own to the mailbox dalahunter@live.se thanks for visiting.

Hunting with birds?

It´s a really special way to hunt using birds of prey, i know in some countries here in Europe it´s allowed to use Falcons for Rabbit hunting. This clip though i think they´ve taken it a bit too far when hunting Roedeer with what looks to me as an Eagle. I came across this clip this morning and im not sure were it´s taken probably somewhere here in Europe as im pretty sure it´s an European Roedeer thats targeted. (This page turns to hunters but for those of you who dont like animals getting killed dont press play in this window.)

First "Red" after homecoming.

My first stand of the day delivered three "Reds" after 20 minutes, got a shot on two but one just slipped back into the den and got just out of reach for me., and the third got second thoughts when he heard the two shots fired and turned to the bush again. I settled just before sunrise and started off with a jackrabbit distress from Rudy "the stone coyote calls" and tried a few different ones on my lanyard and nothing happend.
After 25 minutes or so i thought of giving up but i tried for the last time and decided to take a call that reaches out a bit longer so i blew my latest toy the "Cow tip call" from Tony Tebbe and suddenly two ears appeared on a small hill in the middle of the field.
I gave the call a few more blows and suddenly there were two foxes comin straight at me, a took out the "TSCC" jackrabbit again and then they got in real close but as a said the first got a bad hit and ran back to its den, but the second one dropped right were it stood. The third one ran off when he realised what was going on so i still have him to trick this weekend....
I didnt get hold of a dog to drag the fox out of the den, too bad he had a real nice pelt who would have fit on the wall here next to the others.
