Delivery from Sweden
Modern Sweden started out of the Kalmar Union formed in 1397 and by the unification of the country by King Gustav Vasa in the 16th century. The country is located in northern Europe. Norway could be called the cousin and Finland the good brother. For the ones of you that are not familiar with this great country, some of Sweden famous people are Zlatan Ibrahimovic (soccer player), Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo (movie actress), Henrik Lundqvist (hockey player), Princess Madeleine (royalty) and Alfred Nobel (scientist).
After all this have been said, we should talk about hunting. In Sweeden you can choose between traditional moose hunting, hunting with a pointing dog, beaver and raccoon hunting, and winter hunting for grouse and black grouse. Sweden have a great hunting tradition, and for many years all their farmers, royalty and business people had been out in the forest hunting.
Although the great options for hunting in Sweden we had a great group of friends that came back again to shoot with us in Cordoba for amazing dove hunt. They love the high quality birds that we are able to present (as driven pheasant in UK). We have been hunting for 4 complete days in the hills of Macha Valley.
To come shoot with us in Cordoba, this nice gentlemen s took airplanes from Stockholm and Londo and made a connection in Paris, France. From Paris they took a plane direct to Buenos Aires and landed early in the morning at 6am. Three hours later they were connecting a flight in the same airport that landed in famous Cordoba at mid-day. One hour and a half later they have been in the field, enjoying a great barbecue, with tender loin, sausages, chorizos, dove breast, pork ribs, and chicken legs. They had enjoy some of our great malbec red wines and Chardonnay white wine. Hot coffee after lunch.
After safety instructions we made the gun selection. We had introduce each guest to their personal filed assistant. This personal filed assistant (or bird boy or loader) are normally the same person all the trip. This people are in charge to set up every blind and take the gun, shells, stool, and drink to every spot. They click on the birds and the follow up on the numbers of birds and shells. They are also the ones in charge to pick up the doves. Most of them have a lot of experience and been hunting for a long time.
This was a group of 13 very good hunters, and did great average on their numbers, besides they have been shooting high quality birds. Otto, Franz, Claes, Baltazar, Didrik, Robert, Jacob and all the gentlemen s are great shoots; and some of them had been with us a couple of time. We have enjoyed camaraderie at the end of the day, having some drinks on the bar or in the excellent fire pit we have at Plaza Real Lodge.
We hope to visit them some day to hunt Moose or capercaillie, because not only in Russia it is possible to hunt this unique bird.
We wish you all a great hunting season in UK and EU.
Thanks to keep in the loop
