1
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,480
We are on our way up
to Ramundberget in Härjedalen, where we are going

2
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,840
to hunt ptarmigan.

3
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,960
For many, Ramundberget
is perhaps most associated with skiing

4
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200
in the winter or hiking,
cycling, and fishing in the summer,

5
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,880
but they also offer hunting packages for ptarmigan
hunting to a limited number of groups.

6
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,320
Each season. With a
clear management plan based on

7
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,320
sustainable hunting pressure and culling,
the bird population is generally good.

8
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Welcome to a new episode of

9
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,200
Jakt är Jakt (Hunting is Hunting). Today we are at Ramundberget.

10
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Fantastic view!

11
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,480
We will be spending
two hunting days in the mountains

12
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,840
to hunt ptarmigan, ptarmigan hunting
is something completely new to me.

13
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,160
I have never hunted ptarmigan before,
so we have a hunting guide with us today.

14
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,760
We have a dog handler
and we also have two winners

15
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
from the competition we held
a while ago who will

16
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,960
join us for these days
to hunt ptarmigan.

17
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,240
Who do we have with us?

18
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,560
-My name is Louice.
-My name is Lillie, and we have Herman here.

19
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Have you hunted ptarmigan before?
Been out on ptarmigan hunts.

20
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,800
I have a pointing bird dog
but have never shot a ptarmigan.

21
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,240
So it will be very exciting
to hopefully shoot a ptarmigan today.

22
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Exciting, what breed is it?

23
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720
I have a Hungarian Vizsla,
three years old, a young dog.

24
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Quite a new hunter,
I got my license last year.

25
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
A bit new for you too

26
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:32,640
even though you have more experience
than I do. You always have more to learn.

27
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,040
Have you hunted ptarmigan before?
More training without a gun.

28
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Fairly newly licensed hunter.

29
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,720
And I have a bird dog, so I need
to shoot for him at some point.

30
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,960
And this is a great opportunity, I think.

31
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,560
This is
a fantastic hunting ground and a beautiful day.

32
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Do you know these grounds from before?

33
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,360
I've been here both in summer and winter,
hiking and skiing and such.

34
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,120
I recognize it a bit, but now it's

35
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,680
new to think about hunting, so this will be lovely.

36
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680
Many might wonder what breed it is?

37
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,600
An English setter, actually from Funäsdalen.

38
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,160
He's three years old.

39
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,360
It's a typical bird dog?
- Yes, a pointing bird dog.

40
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Exactly. Exciting.

41
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,440
It will be exciting to see if he points!

42
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240
It'll go well, I think we shouldn't delay this any longer.

43
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Let's get started!

44
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
He looks very determined.

45
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Now we’re standing up on the mountain. Indeed.

46
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,440
And now it's time to get going and

47
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,600
what’s good to think about now and how 
do we proceed?

48
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,200
The most important thing to keep in mind when hunting ptarmigan.

49
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Is that once you’ve fired a shot,
you can never take it back.

50
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Safety is our number one priority, so

51
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,520
we always know where our fellow hunters are

52
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,280
and especially the dogs.

53
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,040
In this world, a bird dog is often worth more than

54
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,040
your fellow hunters.

55
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,160
It’s important, safe shots and

56
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,840
always being aware,
you can think

57
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:41,440
that when we come across ptarmigans, they can be as close as

58
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320
just a few meters away and they might fly up close,
or they can fly

59
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,120
far away, so keeping contact with the dog is key.

60
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,240
The dog handlers are a vital part of the team to

61
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,680
handle the situation for you hunters upfront.

62
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,080
I don’t know how fast this dog advances, but for those dogs that have

63
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,080
strong advances, we want the shooters to be ready because things will move quickly.

64
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,400
It will go “smack” and off it goes.

65
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,560
And advance means?

66
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Right when
the dogs push the birds up,

67
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,160
so you have to be ready.

68
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Otherwise, it’s all about safe shots

69
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,200
the right-side shooter has a shot angle

70
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,720
to the right, but never over.

71
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,280
-We are always two shooters?

72
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,400
Two shooters at all times.

73
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880
That's how we'll proceed,

74
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,000
and then just enjoy

75
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,440
the weather.

76
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,680
You won't find a worse day!

77
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,440
It must be so, right? It’s a social
hunt, we’ll be walking all the time

78
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,680
I’ll be walking with the group
that isn’t in action,

79
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,400
and the two who are up next
will go forward with the dog.

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Those two will walk in the middle,
and the dog handler up front.

81
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Yeah, this will be exciting.

82
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Totally new for me, so much to take in.

83
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,120
You’ll get to experience the most fun hunting there is!

84
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Possibly except hare hunting,
because then you don’t have to move and you can eat sausage.

85
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,480
…

86
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Yes, now

87
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,440
we’ve brought him in
so he can rest for a bit.

88
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,320
He could run forever, but

89
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,200
we need to save some energy for later.

90
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,320
He sure is having a great time.

91
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,560
You can tell.

92
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Yes, yes, now we are all gathered.

93
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,240
Now we’ve spotted some ptarmigans.

94
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320
We’ll just wait for the dog
who is a bit further away,

95
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,160
then we’ll give it a try!

96
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,680
Now we’re crossing our fingers.

97
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,960
We just reached the higher ground.

98
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,360
And the dog over there missed the ptarmigans.

99
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,800
About ten of them ran off.

100
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Thomas will catch the dog.

101
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,240
He might come with the wrong wind.

102
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,760
He’s coming with the wind now.
That could spook them.

103
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,720
So Thomas, catch the dog
and we’ll release it from here.

104
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Normally, you move forward

105
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,720
and walk past when you get close to the birds.

106
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,680
When the bird takes off, you usually...

107
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,200
…before that, you break the shotgun.

108
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Don’t take the safety off until the bird takes off.

109
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Let’s walk slowly.

110
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Now he’s moving.

111
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Be ready!

112
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360
There he is, standing.

113
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Good, good, fighter!

114
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,800
There might be more here.

115
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,480
Well.

116
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,120
It was fun to see the bird,
but I wasn’t fast enough to shoot.

117
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Unfortunately.

118
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,880
But hopefully, there will be more chances.

119
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,400
As a new hunter, I wanted
to feel completely safe and secure

120
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,080
when I take the shot.
But for my first encounter, going up to the dog

121
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:44,080
that’s pointing at the bird, it’s just about keeping practicing.

122
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,120
Hope for more birds!

123
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Yes, now we can see the dogs working around quite a bit.

124
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Yes, they cover many miles

125
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,320
during the day.

126
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,880
They sure do.

127
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
I think we usually say we average

128
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,480
about one and a half to two miles walking.

129
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,920
The dogs are at 4-5 miles.

130
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,440
And now we are going against the wind.

131
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,840
Yes, we’re heading into the wind, and that’s perfect because the dogs search the area

132
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,280
ahead of us very thoroughly, and it’s easier for the dogs.

133
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,120
When we turn around and the wind is at our backs,

134
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,360
the idea is for the dog to run far out,

135
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,840
maybe 500-600 meters, then
come back to us.

136
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,880
That way, they really cover the whole area.

137
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320
It means we don’t have to zigzag and can

138
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,960
walk pretty straight, saving some miles.

139
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Exactly, exactly.

140
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Is there a place
where you can sense that…

141
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,480
…the ptarmigans might prefer to sit?

142
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,400
A small hollow or
maybe a little hill?

143
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,720
I wish I could answer that.

144
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,840
After 20 years, you’d think I’d know, but I don’t.

145
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
It varies…

146
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,160
On a nice day like this, I’d say…

147
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,160
They’ve been grazing in the morning,

148
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,320
and now they’re resting.

149
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,120
It’s pretty fascinating with ptarmigan hunting

150
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,240
in that way. I know they had…

151
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,400
There’s research on it.

152
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,840
They put transmitters on ptarmigans,
GPS trackers to see how much

153
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,640
the dogs pass by, and a good dog,

154
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,720
a really good
dog passes by about 40-60%

155
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,280
of the ptarmigans, whereas a poor dog
may miss 80-90%.

156
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,200
Yes, then…

157
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,480
Then the police came and landed
with their helicopter, as I assume you can hear.

158
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,600
Checking everyone’s licenses,

159
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,840
state hunting cards.

160
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,800
Everything was clear for everyone, so now

161
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,800
we can continue.

162
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,080
I see to the left, you can see the head there!

163
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,160
That’s why I yelled “shoot”!
-Yes, but it’s good that you keep things moving!

164
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,400
And he's standing up there.

165
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:43,880
Ready?
-Yes.

166
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,280
We’ll let that one go, they were too small.

167
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,520
But good job, congratulations!

168
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Do you want a retrieve?

169
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,160
What did you say?
-Do you want a retrieve?

170
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Absolutely!

171
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840
That went well!

172
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Three of them took off.

173
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,440
One flew to the left, and one…

174
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,360
I don’t know where it went.
And one flew…

175
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,800
-He was a bit rough with that small bird.
Yes.

176
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,120
…and one flew to the right.

177
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Quite low,
but I had control of the dogs. Fun!

178
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,840
Well done!

179
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,520
Congratulations!
-Thanks.

180
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,520
Thank you, thank you!

181
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,920
They weren’t adult birds.

182
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,560
Is this a young hen then?
-Yes, or a chick.

183
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,360
They had some ptarmigans up now.

184
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,120
Three of them, but no shooting opportunity.

185
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Now things are starting to happen!

186
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Lots of birds, there’s another one!

187
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Move forward, so you’re in front of me.

188
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,760
Move forward. Forward, forward, forward!

189
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,080
It doesn’t matter if we spook them.

190
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Good job, Peak!

191
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,000
That one was yours.

192
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,080
First ptarmigan!

193
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Thank you!

194
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,760
That hit right where it should.

195
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
That wraps up today.

196
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
It went really well!

197
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920
What a thrill!

198
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,200
I think my biggest achievement was that I ran.

199
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,560
Goodbye!

200
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,040
What a day!

201
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,760
This was really, really fun.

202
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160
It’s getting late, and it’s time for dinner.

203
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,840
Tonight, we’ll sleep in the cabin
down the hill.

204
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,120
After a full day on the mountain with
several exciting situations,

205
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:25,320
and first ptarmigans for several of us,
we’re looking forward to a cozy evening in the Östsjö cabin.

206
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,160
While dinner simmers, we’ll try our luck fishing in the nearby lake,

207
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,560
and even manage to take a very refreshing dip before dinner.

208
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Ending the first ptarmigan hunting day
with good company,

209
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,480
great food, and some bubbly
in front of the fire feels just perfect.

210
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Day two of the hunt. We arrived at the cabin yesterday.

211
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Everything was in order and in top condition.

212
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,800
A great start to what will be another perfect day on the mountain.

213
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Thomas has arrived, so we’ll go have a chat with him.

214
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,680
And I think he brought another dog today.

215
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,240
New day! And today it’s drizzling a bit.

216
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,720
A little different weather than yesterday.

217
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240
How does that affect things?

218
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,160
It might affect the birds a bit; they may not

219
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,160
have grazed as much this morning.

220
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
But the scenting conditions
are great with some moisture.

221
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,240
So it should go well.

222
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,880
We’ll try to go
around the Örsan area today,

223
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,440
then try to find a ridge
where the birds are sitting.

224
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Exciting.

225
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,440
The dog has taken off!
A bit beyond the ridge,

226
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,920
so we’ll release the next dog.

227
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,000
We’re still a bit low in the valley
but heading upwards.

228
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,400
No slow pace now!

229
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,520
Good wind, at least!

230
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Wow, they’ve run far off.

231
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Did they fly too far?
They flew onto the grounds.

232
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
He didn’t catch the scent!

233
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,400
We got to see some birds.

234
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Without counting, but…
In total, 15-18 birds.

235
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,360
Yes, as a beginner here
hunting ptarmigan,

236
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,400
what would be good to think about?

237
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,840
A good way to start would be
to find a hunting trial,

238
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,160
for example, a mountain trial, and
try to tag along as a spectator.

239
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,800
That’s what I’d recommend.

240
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,600
And try to join a hunt and then

241
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,560
what’s good to think about as a beginner
is to take things step by step,

242
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,680
ask questions if you’re
with someone experienced.

243
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,720
And maybe go without a gun at first

244
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,880
just to…

245
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Study how the dog works.

246
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Exactly, to be part of the situation

247
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,680
and see how it’s done,
so you have an understanding

248
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,880
before you start shooting,
that’s a good tip.

249
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,320
But you should always trust the dog,
usually, there’s a bird where the dog is working.

250
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240
As we’ve seen today,

251
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,600
a few birds flew up, then

252
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,320
another bird flew up a bit later.

253
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,120
It’s a classic mistake to relax

254
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:53,840
after the first bird flies,
then you break the shotgun

255
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,840
and there’s no shell,
but one or two more birds fly up.

256
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Let’s keep going!

257
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,520
Move ahead of me.

258
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,200
Now he’s moving.

259
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,000
Remember not to shoot over the dog.

260
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,120
It’s not easy...

261
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,760
We had a great situation.

262
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,080
Yes, the dog did a great job.

263
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Yes, it was great.

264
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Only one bird, but

265
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,400
it flew away.

266
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760
It got a bit of help from the wind,
so we’ll let the dogs sort it out

267
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,520
in case there’s another bird here.

268
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,400
Then we’ll leash the dog,

269
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,040
and move on.

270
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,800
We’ve seen some great bird work again.

271
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Always exciting, and it’s
great to see the dogs freeze like that.

272
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Yes, really fun!

273
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,520
Now we’ll head toward the cars,

274
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:10,000
through a bit of birch forest,
about half a kilometer.

275
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,480
That’s all we have left, and well,

276
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,000
Lillie’s dog, Herman,
is starting to feel done for the day.

277
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,680
A bit tired from yesterday, so we’ll

278
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,160
slowly but surely head back.

279
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,200
Well, folks! Two days

280
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,440
of hunting, it goes by fast.
-Yes, and it’s been fun.

281
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,680
It’s been great having you with us!

282
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040
We should be thanking you,
it’s been fantastic!

283
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,760
I hope you’ve found it
rewarding, incredibly rewarding, educational,

284
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,400
fun, and enjoyable. And Lillie,
you got to shoot your first ptarmigan.

285
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Yes, I’m speechless.

286
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,160
Wonderful!

287
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,440
And you, one step in the right direction.

288
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,080
Yes, I’ve
managed to miss two ptarmigans.

289
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,240
But, well, that’s how it goes.

290
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,720
There’s a lot to think about with the dogs.

291
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,160
Yes, you feel like you’re making progress at least.

292
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,400
Today, it felt good all the way
up until the shot.

293
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520
But then I missed, it happens…

294
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,400
That’s the way it is.

295
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,480
The ptarmigans deserve a chance too.

296
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,280
Absolutely.

297
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,480
It’s been really fun.

298
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Now we only have a few hundred meters left
to the cars.

299
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,440
I think the dogs are tired, and my legs

300
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,880
are starting to feel it a bit too.

301
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,360
Waiting for us down there is a three-course dinner
and a sauna.

302
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:38,320
Lovely, that’s not going to hurt.

303
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,640
Everything has been top-notch.

304
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,480
There’s not much to complain about.

305
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,840
Nothing special, nothing at all.

306
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Let’s head toward the cars.

307
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,480
No…

308
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,120
There really isn’t much to complain about.

309
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,840
The incredible environment we’ve
been hunting in, the warm welcome

310
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,600
from everyone we’ve met, and not least,
getting to shoot my first ptarmigan.

311
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,080
This is a hunt I will remember for a long time
and will definitely do again.

312
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,960
Thank you all for watching and last but not least, good hunting to you all.
