More about us
Our company was established in 2012 and operates in 3 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.

About this hunt
Wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) Hunting is individual stalking with a professional guide and there is a larger group of locals tracking animals and trying to locate them from their natural pastures. The herds are moving all the time so it is essential to have many scouts on the hunting area. Normally, after the animals have been spotted from the car and the final stalk is done by foot. The terrain is rather flat but during the hunting there may be some snow in the ground. Shooting distances are easily from 150-250meters. A high quality rifle with good optics will be provided by the outfitter. This majestic deer can only be found in Finland and small parts of Russian Carelia. Population in Finland is between 900-1500 animals, and mainly due to large predators the population is declining. Only about 10 licences to hunt wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) are issued yearly.
