- It’s one of the most dramatic landscapes we have hunted. Paul Childerley is after Capercaillie in winter, with snow deep on the ground and the birds hidden in the majesty of the Arctic tundra. He and David are on skis for four days, learning a new style of hunting and in awe of the place.
A capercaillie and black grouse hunt with either Robert or Fredrik will cost £3,000ish for one person and £4,000ish for two. That buys a four-night, three-day hunt with transfers, food, accommodation and with rifle and ski loan included. Robert Magnstrom is at ArcticStalking..., email Robertmagnstrom@gmail.com or on Instagram / arcticstalker - Fredrik Lindvall is at kjoft.com and on Instagram / kalixjaktofisketurism

Why do we support hunting tourism?
Hunting tourism is at the forefront of wildlife conservation. People going abroad to hunt are what pays for conservation, the world over. Species that hunters have brought back from the brink of extinction include the bontebok and the markhor goat.
The modern problem for trophy hunting began with the Cecil The Lion story in 2015, when a US hunting tourist called Walter Palmer shot a lion in Zimbabwe. The animal rights lobby successfully presented it as an animal called 'Cecil', claiming it was popular with tourists. Most of the money they raised from the Cecil incident paid for lobbying, not conservation. Worldwide government actions following the incident led to some of the biggest and most tragic wildlife slaughters ever seen in Africa. As trophy bans fell into place, wildlife poaching boomed.
By the beginning of 2018, a kneejerk US trophy import ban on Tanzanian elephant and lion trophies was beginning to have real - and potentially devastating - consequences, including the loss of decades of successful nature conservation. Happily, the US reversed that decision.
When it comes to wildlife, there are two kinds of African countries: wildlife winners, which allow hunting and have healthy populations of wildlife; and wildlife losers, where hunting is banned. It is no coincidence that the last northern white rhino died in Kenya, an anti-hunting country.

A trip here is on my long bucket list.
I often hunt on skis. I hunt grouse of various types and ptarmigan here in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories of Northern Canada. I was a firearms instructor for a few years. I do hunt birds with various open-sighted lever action rifles, but only with a close, solid backstop. And there's almost guaranteed nobody else out here. But it would still freak me out to still just shoot at the sky.
Do these guys use frangible bullets? Is it just normal operations there?
Still, there is something magical about skis, rifles, hunting in that all (short) day golden light and crisp air. No cabin for me, but a nice canvas tent with a roaring woodstove and a cozy cot is a very close 2nd best!
Great video. Take care.
Hi.
Normally we'll use bullets like the Sako Target or Lapua Scenar L. These are regular target bullets which means we have to foresee where the bullet might drop down. But with that said , in most places we hunt, your bullet wouldn't reach anything like houses etc. And we are not are very densely populated place.
In 2020 I was in Montana hunting Elk. It was -25 at the warmest was -17. Snow all week. My Sako AV with Swarovski scope performed flawless. My hunting partners had new Tikka and savage rifles both had magazines freeze.
Hello from Yakutia, the Coldest Place in the World👋
This is Vadmel weather, the Loden type and wool.

You can clearly see why they are cold.
Look how thick the Swede's outer jackets are, this is what you need when it's -26 something thick as the outer layer. Those brits are dressed like it's -10 their clothes would work if they where moving around at -26 and getting some more body heat, but you have to be careful with more than -20 if you do heavy physical exertions you can actually breathe so quickly that you get frostbite on you lungs.
Swedes seriously have two kinds of jackets one for normal winter and one for when it's more than -20 and those jackets make you look like michelin man.
You need to remove any oil or grease on a gun when its more than -20 because the oil will freeze, that's why those rifles didn't fire.
Also use a thermos for water even if it's cold as it won't freeze.
David & Paul managed the cold with grace. It’s not that easy to just put more clothes on.
@@robertmagnstrom6088 Yes it is easy to put on more clothes you just put on something on top when you stand still
Outstanding content chaps and some comedy to boot 😈
Great episode! Good shooting.
I've had my rifle freeze at -30C right before I shot my white tail last year. The bolt gums up and makes the primer strikes a little to light
Remove oil and use graphite
Dream beautiful place! Congratulations!
