Here’s an interesting article that makes me want to go to Sweden:

Who knew? I thought all Sweden had to offer was 9 foot tall super hot blonds that crave dumpy middle aged guys like me 😳 Now that I know they have more moose than you can shake a stick at, I want to go 🙄

I got to go to Stockholm in 1990 when my father won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The King of Sweden is a bit of an introvert who doesn’t like to talk about much other than hunting, so they placed my mother beside him at the big banquet and the two of them told hunting stories for hours. More moose are harvested in Sweden every year than in Alaska. Don

Don, your father was the wrong gender to have attracted Carl Gustaf’s attention. Putting your mom next to him was taking something of a chance …

In addition to moose, Sweden has increasing populations of wolves, European brown bear, red deer (similar to North American elk), roe deer, reindeer, fallow deer and wild boar, all of which are hunted there.

question is, I wonder what it costs to hunt there, and can archery equipment be used.

From what I’ve read, it’s an expensive proposition and I haven’t found any pictures with guys and their bows, only guns.

Anybody been?

I should have been clearer in my post. Sweden currently prohibits bowhunting. A decision on whether to legalize it will be made next year.

The cause has not been helped with the recent illegal (and unsuccessful) shooting of a tame roe deer named “Doris” with an arrow that penetrated its head …

Don – I have to say that first sentence is a killer in the best sense:D What a great family legacy. Hope you get one too!
