0:01:17.720,0:01:19.680
Here I am, having lit the grill.

0:01:19.680,0:01:20.640
Totte is on his way.

0:01:20.640,0:01:22.320
Going out to hunt some wild boar.

0:01:22.320,0:01:26.040
He should show up any second now, I think.

0:01:27.320,0:01:29.920
Hey! Here I come with some food too.

0:01:29.920,0:01:34.000
If you're treating me to wild boar hunting, at least I can bring dinner.

0:01:34.000,0:01:38.440
Yeah, absolutely, it's Friday, so I was thinking of making tacos.

0:01:38.440,0:01:40.200
Yep, this is going to be tacos!

0:01:40.200,0:01:41.640
That? [br]- Yes!

0:01:41.640,0:01:43.280
But with a special twist.

0:01:43.280,0:01:44.520
Yeah, I see that.

0:01:44.520,0:01:46.440
With wild boar, of course!

0:01:46.440,0:01:49.600
Here’s a little gift for the hosts so you can grill properly this summer.

0:01:49.600,0:01:52.680
Some marinades, some BBQ sauces, and a few other things.

0:01:52.680,0:01:54.360
- Wow, that’s great.

0:01:54.360,0:01:56.680
It goes well with pork, I've heard.

0:01:56.680,0:02:01.560
I’m planning to make tacos al pastor, marinated wild boar

0:02:01.560,0:02:05.680
that you grill and serve on a nice corn tortilla

0:02:05.680,0:02:08.280
with lots of cheese and a wonderful pineapple salsa.

0:02:08.280,0:02:10.080
It's going to be epic.

0:02:13.920,0:02:16.120
Okay, here we have it, the quick taco.

0:02:16.120,0:02:19.120
A tortilla with lots of delicious Västerbotten cheese.

0:02:19.680,0:02:22.640
This tacos al pastor

0:02:22.640,0:02:26.160
with extra fruit and chili, and then a

0:02:26.160,0:02:32.920
mango pineapple salsa with some sambal and red onion.

0:02:32.920,0:02:34.200
And then,

0:02:34.200,0:02:36.520
for the greenery and for you,

0:02:36.520,0:02:38.520
cilantro too,

0:02:38.520,0:02:40.080
since you like it so much.

0:02:40.080,0:02:43.080
This feels pretty basic for a taco…

0:02:45.000,0:02:47.040
No, great job. It looks incredibly tasty!

0:02:47.040,0:02:48.960
Thanks!

0:03:00.400,0:03:02.880
Epic evening this is. Yeah, awesome evening!

0:03:02.880,0:03:06.200
Here’s a pretty big field that sweeps

0:03:06.200,0:03:09.200
around the islets.

0:03:09.360,0:03:13.040
Then you can cross an asphalt road that I showed you on the map.

0:03:13.040,0:03:15.880
Then another big field.

0:03:15.880,0:03:22.160
It's wheat, it’s starting to get a bit hard now, but they're out here a lot.

0:03:22.160,0:03:25.480
Just two evenings ago, there was a guy out here, there were boars everywhere.

0:03:25.480,0:03:31.560
The other field on the other side will give you significantly better wind.

0:03:31.560,0:03:37.000
We focus on brown boars, yearling boars.

0:03:37.000,0:03:41.360
Lone yearlings that you can really see are all alone.

0:03:41.360,0:03:45.200
Absolutely no sows, and 100% males.

0:03:45.200,0:03:47.520
That’s what we shoot here.

0:03:47.520,0:03:50.680
Cool, any questions? [br]- No questions.

0:03:50.680,0:03:54.440
Crystal clear. [br]- Crystal clear, cool, cool.

0:03:54.440,0:03:57.120
Let’s see how this goes. Fingers crossed.

0:03:57.120,0:04:02.160
Dropping Tottie off here, and then we’ll head to other areas a bit further away.

0:04:02.160,0:04:05.400
So we cover everything properly.

0:04:05.400,0:04:08.080
I think it’ll be good. [br]- It will be.

0:04:08.080,0:04:10.760
Happy hunting!

0:04:16.360,0:04:19.880
This is absolutely wonderful, I completely love it.

0:04:19.880,0:04:24.880
Just the beginning of a new night.

0:04:24.880,0:04:28.240
You have no idea what’s going to happen.

0:04:28.240,0:04:31.480
It's going to be an absolutely fantastic night.

0:04:31.480,0:04:34.720
Almost windless...

0:04:34.720,0:04:39.600
Barely a cloud in the sky. [br]Well, one cloud.

0:04:40.680,0:04:46.480
We’re out in wheat fields that are nicely ripe.

0:04:46.480,0:04:48.520
And there are lots of boars here.

0:04:48.520,0:04:53.440
So this is going to be great fun. I’m so happy.

0:04:53.440,0:04:56.440
This is the life.

0:05:00.200,0:05:04.520
Alright folks, it’s time.

0:05:04.520,0:05:08.320
Dropped Tottie off in a field a bit away.

0:05:08.320,0:05:12.520
Where there’s been a lot of activity.

0:05:12.520,0:05:15.240
We’ve gone to check another field.

0:05:15.240,0:05:17.520
Already on the way out,

0:05:17.520,0:05:20.560
on one of the fields where we hunt, there were already boars out.

0:05:20.560,0:05:24.360
So they were early.

0:05:24.360,0:05:28.960
Generally speaking, now that we’re this far into the grain hunting season,

0:05:28.960,0:05:38.640
they come out later and later, or when it gets dark. [br]They don’t feel as safe anymore. But over there, they were already out.

0:05:38.640,0:05:44.440
As you might see, I’m using a lamp. Going a bit old-school.

0:05:44.440,0:05:49.200
I’m going to scan the field with a Hikmicro Habrok 4K.

0:05:49.200,0:05:56.240
I’ve tested it a few times now, and honestly, it’s really worth the price.

0:05:56.240,0:06:06.400
It has both a thermal sensor, [br]Let me make sure I’m pointing correctly, yes, thermal and digital

0:06:06.400,0:06:11.080
with IR.

0:06:11.080,0:06:18.600
Really good for spotting the boars so you can switch over, zoom in, and look with the 4K sensor on the digital.[br]0:06:18.600,0:06:[br]22.600 [br]In this field a few days ago, I was after a pretty big boar

0:06:22.600,0:06:26.400
for about 2 hours, it kept moving around.

0:06:26.400,0:06:31.880
Never got a good position.

0:06:31.880,0:06:34.600
It slipped away, but...

0:06:34.600,0:06:37.760
when it ran off the field, new boars came,

0:06:37.760,0:06:42.040
a sow with five yearling boars.

0:06:42.040,0:06:44.760
I got a shot at one after 20 minutes.

0:06:44.760,0:06:50.280
So there are boars, so now I think we should go out, check, and give it a try.

0:07:35.160,0:07:37.360
Looks calm.

0:07:41.880,0:07:44.920
I’m scanning with this.

0:07:44.920,0:07:48.480
Hikmicro Lynx. Incredibly small and light.

0:07:48.480,0:07:53.200
But it’s enough to spot if there’s game here.

0:07:53.200,0:07:58.520
Sometimes you just see a couple of spots. Maybe a pair of ears.

0:07:58.520,0:08:04.840
Then you can bring out better equipment, like my scope,

0:08:04.840,0:08:06.800
Hikmicro Stellar.

0:08:06.800,0:08:11.440
With that, you can adjust and get really good sharpness

0:08:11.440,0:08:15.480
and see better what it is you’ve spotted.

0:08:15.480,0:08:18.240
Those two work really well together.

0:08:23.280,0:08:26.280
It’s a completely wonderful night to sneak around here.

0:08:27.320,0:08:30.240
About 26 degrees warm.

0:08:30.240,0:08:33.600
Animals everywhere, rustling in the bushes.

0:08:33.600,0:08:35.840
Rustling in the forest, in the fields,

0:08:35.840,0:08:40.520
So far we haven’t seen any wild boars, but...

0:08:40.520,0:08:43.840
It’s still early, it hasn’t even gotten dark yet.

0:08:43.840,0:08:47.120
Now we have two places we’ll start with.

0:08:47.120,0:08:51.080
The first field we’ll come to with the wrong wind here.

0:08:51.080,0:08:54.880
On the right side. But it’s very active.

0:08:54.880,0:08:59.440
If nothing happens there, we’ll move on to the left field,

0:08:59.440,0:09:03.240
a long, narrow field where we’ll have perfect wind.

0:09:03.240,0:09:06.040
That’s the one we believe in the most tonight.

0:09:07.560,0:09:11.400
We’ll head to the edge of the forest instead of the spray track.

0:09:11.400,0:09:15.000
We’re way too far out on the field here.

0:09:15.000,0:09:20.320
So I think we’ll go up to the edge of the forest instead, it’s probably better considering the wind.

0:09:21.720,0:09:25.360
I see there’s something small around.

0:09:48.720,0:09:52.440
I think there are at least three boars,

0:09:52.440,0:09:54.840
One bigger and two smaller.

0:09:54.840,0:10:00.960
But the reason I’m standing here is partly because we’re a bit higher here,

0:10:00.960,0:10:03.440
up on the road, so you can see down over the wheat.

0:10:03.440,0:10:09.760
You have a better chance of not disturbing them, the wind is good, but...

0:10:11.960,0:10:16.640
I don’t want to go out into the wheat and disturb them without being able to see, so here we can observe for a while.

0:10:16.640,0:10:24.160
Let them “settle in.” Those ones probably came out just as we arrived too.

0:10:24.160,0:10:31.440
But they’re slowly moving this way along the edge too, we’ll give it a bit and see.

0:10:31.440,0:10:33.880
Maybe they’ll pass a spray track too,

0:10:33.880,0:10:36.400
Then it’ll be even easier to judge.

0:10:36.400,0:10:40.400
As I said, I like to take my time,

0:10:40.400,0:10:42.960
I have a pretty good sense of the groups here.

0:10:42.960,0:10:45.960
That could be the group I shot at last time.

0:10:48.640,0:10:51.640
There are large areas too, could be new boars that have wandered in.

0:10:53.920,0:10:56.520
There’s some animal over there now.

0:10:56.520,0:10:59.320
It looks like a boar, but...

0:10:59.320,0:11:01.960
It’s far away, we need to get closer.

0:11:01.960,0:11:06.720
When I stepped up on the stone, the wheat is really high, so it wasn’t until

0:11:06.720,0:11:10.200
I got on the stone that I saw a group of boars

0:11:10.200,0:11:13.520
about 300-400 meters away.

0:11:13.520,0:11:17.560
Down in a dip too.

0:11:17.560,0:11:21.920
But the wind is perfect, so we’ll try to go that way,

0:11:21.920,0:11:26.880
try to find a spray track so we can quietly and nicely approach.

0:11:35.640,0:11:38.320
There are deer everywhere!

0:11:38.320,0:11:45.120
Three deer there, two deer there, and two just passed over there.

0:11:45.120,0:11:48.640
And a deer barking up in the forest now.

0:11:48.640,0:11:53.120
Right now we’re totally surrounded by deer.

0:11:55.200,0:12:00.640
It's cozy, it’s nice, it’s lovely.

0:12:05.760,0:12:07.760
What I mainly look at

0:12:07.760,0:12:10.240
to judge the size of a boar

0:12:10.240,0:12:12.560
is...

0:12:12.560,0:12:17.480
Of course the height of the wheat, but it can vary across the field.

0:12:19.480,0:12:24.680
But mainly the ears, the ears [br]turn into real oven mitts

0:12:24.680,0:12:28.360
when the boars get big, and if you [br]have the chance to see the tail,

0:12:28.360,0:12:37.080
when they’re wagging and twitching, the longer [br]the tail, the older the boar.

0:12:37.080,0:12:42.920
Especially, they say, it’s the bristles on the end that get longer.

0:12:42.920,0:12:46.080
The older they get.

0:12:56.240,0:13:00.600
That was a deer too...

0:13:02.080,0:13:06.720
It’s good when you pull out the proper scope,

0:13:06.720,0:13:10.040
zoom in and adjust the focus, then you can really see[br]0:[br]13:10.040,0:13:14.320 [br]from a distance exactly what it is.

0:13:17.680,0:13:20.120
The boars we were sneaking up on earlier

0:13:20.120,0:13:24.320
headed into the forest. I think they were spooked.

0:13:24.320,0:13:25.840
We’ll circle around this little islet too,

0:13:25.840,0:13:28.840
and see what happens there.

0:13:28.840,0:13:31.920
Now they’re several boars, which makes it easier to sneak up on them,

0:13:31.920,0:13:34.640
because they distract each other with all that smacking.

0:13:36.960,0:13:39.760
If it had been just one...

0:13:39.760,0:13:42.760
It’s much harder.

0:14:05.640,0:14:09.760
Let’s see if I get a shot, they’re standing too close to shoot.

0:14:09.760,0:14:12.200
Two of them are standing very close.

0:14:13.640,0:14:16.800
One has moved out...

0:15:47.920,0:15:50.920
Finally.

0:15:56.120,0:15:59.200
My goodness! They were hard to separate.

0:16:01.880,0:16:04.480
Let’s go check it out.

0:16:05.480,0:16:08.760
Now we heard a shot not far from here,

0:16:08.760,0:16:13.520
hopefully it was Simon who got some hunting luck!

0:16:13.520,0:16:15.560
Waiting for a report.

0:16:19.680,0:16:22.360
Well, here it is.

0:16:22.360,0:16:25.160
It was a little brown boar,

0:16:26.680,0:16:28.600
a bit high, but that’s classic

0:16:28.600,0:16:30.800
when hunting in the wheat.

0:16:30.800,0:16:34.440
Especially when they’re this small.

0:16:34.440,0:16:35.400
There it is.

0:16:35.400,0:16:40.240
It's really easy to miss, especially when you’re shooting with a lamp.

0:16:40.240,0:16:42.240
You think you can see a lot.

0:16:42.240,0:16:45.800
Thermally, it’s almost easier to see and know how

0:16:45.800,0:16:50.320
much they should lower, because you can [br]get the silhouette from the heat downwards.

0:16:50.320,0:16:53.120
But still, it worked [br]fine shooting with a lamp too.

0:16:53.120,0:16:58.440
As I said, nice little meat boar, Brownie,

0:16:58.440,0:17:03.000
gilt, female boar.

0:17:03.000,0:17:07.600
This one, you’ve already seen how [br]it works, but,

0:17:07.600,0:17:10.200
really nice

0:17:10.200,0:17:11.080
actually.

0:17:11.080,0:17:14.040
Great tool for grain hunting.

0:17:14.040,0:17:18.160
Here, you would have seen clearly [br]if there were any small ones running around,

0:17:18.160,0:17:18.920
which there weren’t.

0:17:18.920,0:17:21.800
But it took a little while.

0:17:21.800,0:17:24.160
What time is it?

0:17:24.160,0:17:27.520
From the time we saw them, let’s say,

0:17:27.520,0:17:31.680
40 minutes, 35, 40 like that.[br]0:17:31.680,0:1733.920 [br]But that’s how it is. I’m never in a hurry when hunting in the grain.[br]0:1733.920,0:17:37.000 [br]The opportunities come, and as I said, as long as you’re aware

0:17:37.000,0:17:40.560
of the wind,

0:17:40.560,0:17:41.960
then it usually works out.

0:17:41.960,0:17:43.600
Then you can take your time.

0:17:43.600,0:17:49.640
It’s much, much nicer and more fun in every way.

0:17:49.640,0:17:51.200
Enough said about that.

0:17:51.200,0:17:53.880
Let's take this little

0:17:53.880,0:17:55.720
piglet

0:17:55.720,0:17:58.560
and take it to the slaughterhouse.

0:17:58.560,0:18:01.680
Let’s see how Tottie did!

0:18:01.680,0:18:04.680
Hope he had some action too.

0:19:28.880,0:19:32.000
Well folks, that was really exciting.

0:19:32.000,0:19:36.720
There were two slightly larger boars and [br]two slightly smaller boars,

0:19:36.720,0:19:40.320
and it took a good while to see

0:19:40.320,0:19:43.440
which ones were the smallest, and especially

0:19:43.440,0:19:46.760
to get a shot where there wasn't [br]a bunch of grain in the way.

The shot felt really good though, so now we’ll go check how it went.

0:19:56.760,0:19:58.680
Yes, I got a boar too

0:19:58.680,0:20:01.680
this magical night.

0:20:02.840,0:20:06.960
A small boar, 35, 40 kilos.

0:20:06.960,0:20:09.640
Too bad they haven’t learned that it’s dangerous

0:20:09.640,0:20:14.480
out in the fields, and that they should be in the forest where they belong.

0:20:14.480,0:20:16.240
The boar was standing a bit at an angle, so the shot is a bit high and far back,

0:20:16.240,0:20:20.040
but it had the desired effect anyway.

0:20:20.040,0:20:25.840
It dropped on the spot and stayed there, so no tracking was needed.

0:20:25.840,0:20:30.760
So now we’ll go take care of it at the slaughterhouse.

0:20:34.080,0:20:36.800
Now we’re at the slaughterhouse, and we’re going to test this boar for trichinosis.

0:20:36.800,0:20:39.880
It’s super easy with the trichinosis app.

0:20:39.880,0:20:44.480
Simon just carved a little piece off the front leg. And he puts it

0:20:44.480,0:20:49.840
in the provided bags, scans [br]a QR code, registers everything that can

0:20:49.840,0:20:53.120
be registered about this boar, and drops it in the mailbox!

0:20:53.120,0:20:54.840
- It’s that simple.

0:20:54.840,0:20:56.200
What an evening and what a night.

0:20:56.200,0:20:59.760
I just want to say a huge, huge thank you, I feel so incredibly grateful

0:20:59.760,0:21:01.560
to have been part of this.

0:21:01.560,0:21:05.280
Grateful to you for taking me on this wonderful night.

0:21:05.280,0:21:08.840
And I’m grateful to Mother [br]Earth for giving us this experience.

0:21:08.840,0:21:13.800
To be able to harvest these fruits. Really, it was so much fun!

0:21:13.800,0:21:16.080
Glad to have had you along, you did great!

0:21:16.080,0:21:19.680
The birds are chirping, and it’s a little past three.

0:21:19.680,0:21:23.560
The nights get long during grain hunting. [br]- It’s wonderful.

0:21:23.560,0:21:28.160
It is, glad you could join.

0:21:28.160,0:21:31.360
Big thanks for tagging along on our night adventure!

0:21:31.360,0:21:32.000
See you next time!
