In September 2025, all things finally aligned and I was able to accept a friend's invitation to join them for a week of moose hunting in the middle of Sweden, after having declined in previous years.

This group has held the hunting rights to roughly 6000 acres for 6 or 7 years now and have had good luck every time. I, having never shot a single moose, was feeling hopeful. It didn't make matters worse that we'd seen a few good bulls on a trail cam just days prior to going up there (10 points...
