Tetrao urogallus The Capercaillie also known as heather Cock or Wood grouse is a member of the grouse family and well known for its mating display. The Capercaillie is one of Sweden´s largest birds, the male can have a wingspan of 125 cm and weigh up to 5 kg. The hen is almost half the size usually 55-65cm long weighing 1,5-2,5 kg with a wingspan of 70 cm. The diet consists of leaves, buds and insects and during winter mainly conifer needles. Blueberries are also important in the Capercaillies diet. The courting ritual of the Capercaillie is very charismatic and can be heard in spring through-out the forests of Lapland, Sweden. This sound starts early in the morning with the male displaying and giving of a sound like tapping to wooden sticks together and gradually faster and faster changing into a clunking sound (like a bottle being opened). It finally turns into a scraping sound like sharpening a tool. It is truly a breathtaking experience seeing and hearing the Capercaillies courting ritual. The capercaillie is usually found in older pine tree forests and the population in Sweden is quite steady. Hunting the Capercaillie is done with free running dogs (or is this working dogs?) that hold the birds at bay, pointer dogs and in the winter by stalking. The season starts the 25 August until the 15 November. Between 16 November until 15 February only cooks are allowed to shoot.

At one with the wilderness. The love of nature is the main reason for going hunting. This love, however, also means meeting the wilderness and the elements up-close. In the cold, in the heat and in rough terrain. This is the only way to truly encounter the heart and soul of nature. For this, companions that can master these tough conditions are essential. Ones that can be relied on in every situation. Precisely matched to every individual’s needs, they must face the wilderness up-close and effortlessly deliver peak performance in even the most demanding conditions. The ZEISS brand stands for these qualities.
Why buy an expensive Fallkniven product? It’s correct to put that question. What do you get, actually? Well, first of all you get a lot of knife from the very start, a knife which is strong, comfortable and stays sharp very well or extremely well. And, after some ten or twenty years, it’s time for grinding the knife back to original shape. Ten dollars later, you can continue to use the knife for another ten years, or so. You also get a safe knife, well tested long before it was put into production. As a result, our warranty commitments are as low as 0,1 %.
