In the first week of October 2023, we received a group from Finland's largest hunting and fishing equipment company, Ruoto Oy, for a grouse hunt in the Paistunturi wilderness.

The first snow that fell during the night covered the highest peaks of the fells, and the bright autumn sunshine dazzled the eye. Grouses were well found and dogs, two English setters Jimi and Molli, and German standoff Sisu did what they were created and trained for. While the guests were still finishing the events as they had learned, we were able to enjoy a wonderful grouse dinner. Of course, we also enjoy the steam of the sauna at our wilderness base Birkejänkä, and the fresh water of the fell stream before moving on to the dinner table.

"One of the most amazing hunting trips of my life so far," said Joonas Oksanen, CEO of Ruoto Oy, after the trip. The people at Autentic Boreal thank you for these wonderful words that warm the mind of an experienced hunter.  Hope to see you again in the autumn!
