Wild Game of the Month

Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)

Roe Deer are grayish-brown to reddish brown, small and lightly built, rarely getting larger than 50 lbs. Does (Geiss in German) have a heart shaped white rump patch with a tuft of long white hair emanating from their genital region. A buck’s patch is smaller kidney shaped and lacks the tuft. Male deer grow antlers yearly. A normal buck will have 6 points (3 per side) which attain a height of 6-10 inches. As they grow older, the antlers grow larger bases (called Rosen in German) and add texture called “pearling” to the antlers.

Hunting Finland

By Roger Pettersson

Finland borders Russia to the east and Sweden to the west and stretches approximately 1200 km North/South and about 600 km wide East/West. This makes up for a total of 338,145 square kilometers of pristine nature. Finland is also known for its abundance of lakes which offers an exceptional water fowl environment as well as great hunting. In the northern parts, the vast forests holds a large population of woodland birds which many hunters prefers to hunt using tree barking dogs.

Cartridge of the Month

The 22 Savage High Power – By Andrew Chamberlain

The 22 Savage High-Power came into use around 1912 and quickly became popular in both North America and Europe. It is based on the 25-35 Winchester necked down to .227″ – .228″ caliber (not a true .224″ caliber) and is one of the many cartridges developed by Charles Newton. The 22 Savage HP also comes from the era when wildcatting produced many of the cartridges we enjoy today.
