    Yeah, the finnish spets is a really nice dog.
    This hunt is one of my all time favorite. You rely 100% on the dog, and you simply WILL NOT be successful on a rifle hunt without the dog. In the green season, there's just no way you can scan 2 million trees and find a hidden bird, you really need the dog to find the bird and limit your options.

    Nice video, that K95 looks really lightweight and there can’t be to many Remington rifles in that part of the world.

    Well, Remington 700 used to be one of the most common rifle when I grew up.
    The K95 weighs in at 2,6 kgs, so easy carry!
