1
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,680
Here I am, having lit the grill.

2
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,640
Totte is on his way.

3
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,320
Going out to hunt some wild boar.

4
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:26,040
He should show up any second now, I think.

5
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,920
Hey! Here I come with some food too.

6
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,000
If you're treating me to wild boar hunting, at least I can bring dinner.

7
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Yeah, absolutely, it's Friday, so I was thinking of making tacos.

8
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Yep, this is going to be tacos!

9
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,640
That? 
- Yes!

10
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,280
But with a special twist.

11
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Yeah, I see that.

12
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,440
With wild boar, of course!

13
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Here’s a little gift for the hosts so you can grill properly this summer.

14
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Some marinades, some BBQ sauces, and a few other things.

15
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,360
- Wow, that’s great.

16
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
It goes well with pork, I've heard.

17
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,560
I’m planning to make tacos al pastor, marinated wild boar

18
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,680
that you grill and serve on a nice corn tortilla

19
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280
with lots of cheese and a wonderful pineapple salsa.

20
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,080
It's going to be epic.

21
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,120
Okay, here we have it, the quick taco.

22
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120
A tortilla with lots of delicious Västerbotten cheese.

23
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640
This tacos al pastor

24
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:26,160
with extra fruit and chili, and then a

25
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,920
mango pineapple salsa with some sambal and red onion.

26
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,200
And then,

27
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,520
for the greenery and for you,

28
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,520
cilantro too,

29
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,080
since you like it so much.

30
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,080
This feels pretty basic for a taco…

31
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,040
No, great job. It looks incredibly tasty!

32
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Thanks!

33
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Epic evening this is. Yeah, awesome evening!

34
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,200
Here’s a pretty big field that sweeps

35
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,200
around the islets.

36
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Then you can cross an asphalt road that I showed you on the map.

37
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Then another big field.

38
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,160
It's wheat, it’s starting to get a bit hard now, but they're out here a lot.

39
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,480
Just two evenings ago, there was a guy out here, there were boars everywhere.

40
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,560
The other field on the other side will give you significantly better wind.

41
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,000
We focus on brown boars, yearling boars.

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Lone yearlings that you can really see are all alone.

43
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Absolutely no sows, and 100% males.

44
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520
That’s what we shoot here.

45
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,680
Cool, any questions? 
- No questions.

46
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Crystal clear. 
- Crystal clear, cool, cool.

47
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Let’s see how this goes. Fingers crossed.

48
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Dropping Tottie off here, and then we’ll head to other areas a bit further away.

49
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400
So we cover everything properly.

50
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,080
I think it’ll be good. 
- It will be.

51
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,760
Happy hunting!

52
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,880
This is absolutely wonderful, I completely love it.

53
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Just the beginning of a new night.

54
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240
You have no idea what’s going to happen.

55
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,480
It's going to be an absolutely fantastic night.

56
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,720
Almost windless...

57
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Barely a cloud in the sky. 
Well, one cloud.

58
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,480
We’re out in wheat fields that are nicely ripe.

59
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
And there are lots of boars here.

60
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,440
So this is going to be great fun. I’m so happy.

61
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,440
This is the life.

62
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Alright folks, it’s time.

63
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Dropped Tottie off in a field a bit away.

64
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Where there’s been a lot of activity.

65
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,240
We’ve gone to check another field.

66
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520
Already on the way out,

67
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,560
on one of the fields where we hunt, there were already boars out.

68
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,360
So they were early.

69
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,960
Generally speaking, now that we’re this far into the grain hunting season,

70
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:38,640
they come out later and later, or when it gets dark. 
They don’t feel as safe anymore. But over there, they were already out.

71
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,440
As you might see, I’m using a lamp. Going a bit old-school.

72
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,200
I’m going to scan the field with a Hikmicro Habrok 4K.

73
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:56,240
I’ve tested it a few times now, and honestly, it’s really worth the price.

74
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:06,400
It has both a thermal sensor, 
Let me make sure I’m pointing correctly, yes, thermal and digital

75
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,080
with IR.

76
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:18,600
Really good for spotting the boars so you can switch over, zoom in, and look with the 4K sensor on the digital.
0:06:18.600,0:06:
22.600 
In this field a few days ago, I was after a pretty big boar

77
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400
for about 2 hours, it kept moving around.

78
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Never got a good position.

79
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600
It slipped away, but...

80
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760
when it ran off the field, new boars came,

81
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,040
a sow with five yearling boars.

82
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
I got a shot at one after 20 minutes.

83
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,280
So there are boars, so now I think we should go out, check, and give it a try.

84
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Looks calm.

85
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,920
I’m scanning with this.

86
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Hikmicro Lynx. Incredibly small and light.

87
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,200
But it’s enough to spot if there’s game here.

88
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,520
Sometimes you just see a couple of spots. Maybe a pair of ears.

89
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Then you can bring out better equipment, like my scope,

90
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,800
Hikmicro Stellar.

91
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,440
With that, you can adjust and get really good sharpness

92
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480
and see better what it is you’ve spotted.

93
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,240
Those two work really well together.

94
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,280
It’s a completely wonderful night to sneak around here.

95
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,240
About 26 degrees warm.

96
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Animals everywhere, rustling in the bushes.

97
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Rustling in the forest, in the fields,

98
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,520
So far we haven’t seen any wild boars, but...

99
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,840
It’s still early, it hasn’t even gotten dark yet.

100
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Now we have two places we’ll start with.

101
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,080
The first field we’ll come to with the wrong wind here.

102
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,880
On the right side. But it’s very active.

103
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,440
If nothing happens there, we’ll move on to the left field,

104
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,240
a long, narrow field where we’ll have perfect wind.

105
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,040
That’s the one we believe in the most tonight.

106
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,400
We’ll head to the edge of the forest instead of the spray track.

107
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,000
We’re way too far out on the field here.

108
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,320
So I think we’ll go up to the edge of the forest instead, it’s probably better considering the wind.

109
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,360
I see there’s something small around.

110
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,440
I think there are at least three boars,

111
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,840
One bigger and two smaller.

112
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,960
But the reason I’m standing here is partly because we’re a bit higher here,

113
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,440
up on the road, so you can see down over the wheat.

114
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,760
You have a better chance of not disturbing them, the wind is good, but...

115
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,640
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.

116
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Let them “settle in.” Those ones probably came out just as we arrived too.

117
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:31,440
But they’re slowly moving this way along the edge too, we’ll give it a bit and see.

118
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Maybe they’ll pass a spray track too,

119
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Then it’ll be even easier to judge.

120
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,400
As I said, I like to take my time,

121
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,960
I have a pretty good sense of the groups here.

122
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960
That could be the group I shot at last time.

123
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,640
There are large areas too, could be new boars that have wandered in.

124
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,520
There’s some animal over there now.

125
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320
It looks like a boar, but...

126
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960
It’s far away, we need to get closer.

127
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,720
When I stepped up on the stone, the wheat is really high, so it wasn’t until

128
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,200
I got on the stone that I saw a group of boars

129
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,520
about 300-400 meters away.

130
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,560
Down in a dip too.

131
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:21,920
But the wind is perfect, so we’ll try to go that way,

132
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,880
try to find a spray track so we can quietly and nicely approach.

133
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,320
There are deer everywhere!

134
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:45,120
Three deer there, two deer there, and two just passed over there.

135
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,640
And a deer barking up in the forest now.

136
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Right now we’re totally surrounded by deer.

137
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,640
It's cozy, it’s nice, it’s lovely.

138
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,760
What I mainly look at

139
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,240
to judge the size of a boar

140
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
is...

141
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:17,480
Of course the height of the wheat, but it can vary across the field.

142
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,680
But mainly the ears, the ears 
turn into real oven mitts

143
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,360
when the boars get big, and if you 
have the chance to see the tail,

144
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:37,080
when they’re wagging and twitching, the longer 
the tail, the older the boar.

145
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Especially, they say, it’s the bristles on the end that get longer.

146
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,080
The older they get.

147
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,600
That was a deer too...

148
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,720
It’s good when you pull out the proper scope,

149
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,040
zoom in and adjust the focus, then you can really see
0:
13:10.040,0:13:14.320 
from a distance exactly what it is.

150
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,120
The boars we were sneaking up on earlier

151
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,320
headed into the forest. I think they were spooked.

152
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,840
We’ll circle around this little islet too,

153
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,840
and see what happens there.

154
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,920
Now they’re several boars, which makes it easier to sneak up on them,

155
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,640
because they distract each other with all that smacking.

156
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760
If it had been just one...

157
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,760
It’s much harder.

158
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,760
Let’s see if I get a shot, they’re standing too close to shoot.

159
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,200
Two of them are standing very close.

160
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,800
One has moved out...

161
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Finally.

162
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,200
My goodness! They were hard to separate.

163
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Let’s go check it out.

164
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Now we heard a shot not far from here,

165
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,520
hopefully it was Simon who got some hunting luck!

166
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Waiting for a report.

167
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,360
Well, here it is.

168
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,160
It was a little brown boar,

169
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,600
a bit high, but that’s classic

170
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,800
when hunting in the wheat.

171
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,440
Especially when they’re this small.

172
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,400
There it is.

173
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,240
It's really easy to miss, especially when you’re shooting with a lamp.

174
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,240
You think you can see a lot.

175
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Thermally, it’s almost easier to see and know how

176
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,320
much they should lower, because you can 
get the silhouette from the heat downwards.

177
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120
But still, it worked 
fine shooting with a lamp too.

178
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,440
As I said, nice little meat boar, Brownie,

179
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,000
gilt, female boar.

180
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,600
This one, you’ve already seen how 
it works, but,

181
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,200
really nice

182
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,080
actually.

183
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,040
Great tool for grain hunting.

184
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,160
Here, you would have seen clearly 
if there were any small ones running around,

185
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:18,920
which there weren’t.

186
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,800
But it took a little while.

187
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,160
What time is it?

188
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,520
From the time we saw them, let’s say,

189
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,680
40 minutes, 35, 40 like that.
0:17:31.680,0:1733.920 
But that’s how it is. I’m never in a hurry when hunting in the grain.
0:1733.920,0:17:37.000 
The opportunities come, and as I said, as long as you’re aware

190
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,560
of the wind,

191
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,960
then it usually works out.

192
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Then you can take your time.

193
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,640
It’s much, much nicer and more fun in every way.

194
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,200
Enough said about that.

195
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,880
Let's take this little

196
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,720
piglet

197
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
and take it to the slaughterhouse.

198
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,680
Let’s see how Tottie did!

199
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,680
Hope he had some action too.

200
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Well folks, that was really exciting.

201
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,720
There were two slightly larger boars and 
two slightly smaller boars,

202
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,320
and it took a good while to see

203
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,440
which ones were the smallest, and especially

204
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,760
to get a shot where there wasn't 
a bunch of grain in the way.

205
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,320
The shot felt really good though, so now we’ll go check how it went.

206
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,680
Yes, I got a boar too

207
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680
this magical night.

208
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,960
A small boar, 35, 40 kilos.

209
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,640
Too bad they haven’t learned that it’s dangerous

210
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,480
out in the fields, and that they should be in the forest where they belong.

211
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,240
The boar was standing a bit at an angle, so the shot is a bit high and far back,

212
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,040
but it had the desired effect anyway.

213
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:25,840
It dropped on the spot and stayed there, so no tracking was needed.

214
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,760
So now we’ll go take care of it at the slaughterhouse.

215
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,800
Now we’re at the slaughterhouse, and we’re going to test this boar for trichinosis.

216
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,880
It’s super easy with the trichinosis app.

217
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,480
Simon just carved a little piece off the front leg. And he puts it

218
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,840
in the provided bags, scans 
a QR code, registers everything that can

219
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,120
be registered about this boar, and drops it in the mailbox!

220
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:54,840
- It’s that simple.

221
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,200
What an evening and what a night.

222
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,760
I just want to say a huge, huge thank you, I feel so incredibly grateful

223
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,560
to have been part of this.

224
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,280
Grateful to you for taking me on this wonderful night.

225
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,840
And I’m grateful to Mother 
Earth for giving us this experience.

226
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,800
To be able to harvest these fruits. Really, it was so much fun!

227
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Glad to have had you along, you did great!

228
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,680
The birds are chirping, and it’s a little past three.

229
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,560
The nights get long during grain hunting. 
- It’s wonderful.

230
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,160
It is, glad you could join.

231
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,360
Big thanks for tagging along on our night adventure!

232
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,000
See you next time!
