fumigatus Posted August 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Let me first state, this is not trophy-hunting. It is a a yearly happening, strictly controlled, to preserve the last population of wild reindeer in Europe. Norway has an international obligation to do so, and is very serious about that task. I have been involved in this activity for the last ten years, and this year was the first that we didn't succeed. Which is fine, it's a part of "the game" and relies on several factors of which the direction of the wind is the most important. But this year I brought my Q2, and for those interested I hope I managed to capture some of the atmosphere. I didn't bring any other photo gear, all images are handheld or with the camera placed on a rock or like. The first thing most people think of when hearing "hunting for reindeer" is heavy backpacks and a lot of hiking. It is strenuous, and even the strongest have to rest. Welcome, dear visitor!

fumigatus Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted August 26, 2021 And finally, but only to illustrate what is most important: binoculars. Almost even more important than the rifle (but only almost). A selfie with my Ultravid HD+ 8x32. Very small, and very good quality. Welcome, dear visitor!

The best quality meat. Practically everything on the animal is being used, and the tradition is to cook the heart on the first evening. This year we had to settle for the trouts, but nobody complained. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassing Deer and Elk with Leica 10X42 Trinovid's are what got me "hooked" on Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted August 26, 2021 Share #15 Posted August 26, 2021 Wet fly or mayfly fishing in Ireland on the Corrib and the Mask (13” minimum keeper length) means on a good day plenty of trout for supper, some for the ghillies to take home and then maybe extra for breakfast with scrambled eggs...(usually shoot a Ricoh GR on these (wet) trips so can’t post pics) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
