Into the Arctic Wild Our adventure took us to Finland’s far north, where we were greeted by breathtaking northern lights before arriving in Inari. The mission? Moose hunting in the vast Arctic wilderness, guided by Pekka and his amazing Karelian bear dog, Onni. With a little help of modern satellite tracking, we explored the untouched terrain while honoring ethical hunting traditions. The journey was no walk in the park—dense forests, marshy grounds, and hard-to-spot moose pushed us to our limits. But the effort was worth it for the incredible views, the thrill of the chase, and the evenings spent unwinding in true Finnish style: a blazing sauna, a plunge into the icy lake, and feasts of local specialties like smoked trout and capercaillie. On the final day, with a change in tactics, Onni’s skillful tracking brought us close to a moose. But the Arctic reminded us of its power—nature doesn’t give in easily! This experience was more than a hunt; it was a test of resilience, respect for wildlife, and a deep dive into Lapland’s beauty. #ArcticAdventure #MooseHunting #LaplandWildlife #RespectNature #OnceInALifetime Read the entire article from here >
