Sweden is renowned for its outstanding amount of migratory and domestic birds and there are no bag limits! The species of Geese that will be around at the time will be Barnacle, Greylag and Canadas with an influx of migratory Canadas and Greylags migrating down from the north around December time when it’s too cold. Barnacle Geese will be flying through from Russia and will be in Sweden feeding so will also be part of the quarry each day. Along with Geese, you will be shooting afternoon Duck flights which will comprise of mainly Mallard a few Teal and an occasional different species. Not only will you have unlimited bird days but varied and exciting and lead by Swedens best guide Kristofer Hansson. With over 10 years experience and an incredible knowledge of the hunting areas, dedication and enthusiasm to his work it will be an educational get away as much as an enjoyable one.

Location
Your guides hunting areas are stretched over 5000 hectares Situated both along the coast and nearby, which includes areas near Bjärred in the south followed by hunting grounds close to the large Barsebäck 19th century renovated Dutch Renaissance style castle and estate. To the north just outside the city of Landskrona and with only a 40km drive from north to south its a short distance to both shooting premises.

Shooting
Over the next 3 days hunting you will have to arrive bright and early to the designated hunting ground 1 hour 15 minutes before sunrise to enable good time to prepare yourself before the birds start coming in to feed. Kristofer and his team will have already laid out your decoys for the hunt, organised your ammunition and semi-auto and organised your blind for the shoot. He will guide you through any safety aspects and what to expect of the day before you start. The hairs on the back of your neck will start to stand when you hear the honk of the Geese come in, the anticipation and adrenaline will have you wanting more. After your morning’s hunt, you will retreat back to the B&B or somewhere local for you to have some lunch before returning back for your afternoon’s duck flights. You will expect to shoot 1-2 drives in the afternoon over the ponds of the estates where the Ducks will fly in from the ocean to feed. If the birds are in plenty there will be the opportunity to nestle in a hide where you will wait for the 6.00pm dusk flight. This is a challenging yet fun combination of wildfowling and will test your skills and hiding capabilities.
