Close Encounter with Fox on Bogesund's Moose and Wild Boar Hunt

Place: Bogesund, Vaxhoms kommun, Sweden
Coordinates: Lat: 59.41233, Lon: 18.23497
Time: 1 day in November

I want to thank everyone at Bogesunds jakt- och kursgård for yet another worthwhile day of experiencing hunting the Swedish woods. Today we were focusing on Moose and Wild Boar and the hunt offered many exiting situations. I was visited by a beautiful male Fox while waiting for Moose. He came as close at three meters, we looked at each other, and then he silently trotted away into the morning mist. It's situations like this that gives you humble memories for life. I had to smile when I realized that I could get a Fox this close while sitting there in the open wearing blue working clothes fitted with retro reflectors. Considering I lately have been so ambitious with dressing up in camo while out Fox hunting.
As the sun was setting we could sum up today's catch to two Moose and two Wild Boar... A truly nice start to the weekend!

Moose Hunting Day Before Father's Day

Place: Långhundra härad, Uppland, Sweden
Coordinates: Lat: 59.75041, Lon: 17.91107
Time: 1 day in November

The day before yesterday the first snow arrived here in Upland. Unfortunately it was short lived therefore it's green and wet on the ground as I now sit down to start today's hunt. We still have individuals left on our ration of Moose, so today we're hoping to get in balance with our game plan of the season. It's a beautiful and calm morning. The fog gives that magic feeling that any minute now the Moose will appear between the threes. But the morning remain calm. Today we don't use dogs so after some hours I take a walk on the land to do a quick status check. The only fresh tracks I can find is from Roe Deer and Wild Boar. The Moose is elsewhere today so we call off the hunt and bring out the coffee instead. Better luck hunting next time. Grateful to be able to add yet another day of hunting and spending time in the woods to my experience. A great way to start off this Father's Day weekend... Congratulations all you Fathers!
