More about us
Our company was established in 2012 and operates in 2 territories.
- Hunting has always been deeply ingrained in our Finnish traditions and culture. With that in mind and the fact that Finland is a stable country with good infrastructure. It makes it an excellent destination for any hunter who seeks raw and original hunting, and we are only a short plane ride away!
- Sustainability, modern gamekeeping and high ethics are our cornerstones
- It is not enough for us to just take from the forest, we also have a strong will to maintain and grow the game populations, in the areas we use for hunting. By good gamekeeping, selective hunting and a high appreciation of nature, we wish to preserve nature also for future hunter generations to enjoy!
- In our operation we value local and international laws. Wherever we travel, we honour local traditions and work hand in hand with native companies, clubs and producers. We follow CITES- and Bern treaties and all other international agreements binding our profession.

Every morning, after breakfast, guides will pick up hunters and head to forest where birds will be hunted walked up or with highly specialized dogs max. 2 hunters/dog. In the morning, during sunrise specially Black grouse gather to swamp areas for lekking and are more easily found. Lunch will be had in the forest and the hunting continues until sunset.
The method of hunting will be very active and requires moderate condition. Sometimes when terrain allows, some small drives can be made. If the weather is cool and calm, in the morning it is also possible to hunt the birds from the nearby swamp areas with decoys as they gather to warm themselves in the first rays of sun. For hunting we recommend 12 gauge shotgun with good quality no. 2 - 4 cartridges and highly accurate rifle in caliber .222 - .308 using full metal jacket bullet.
