Weather
conditions during September-October
The weather conditions can vary quite a lot this time of the year. It can be
sunny, warm and dry with day temperatures of around 10 degrees Celsius, but
sometimes the winter with some snow can start that time. If You think about the
clothes, it is quite important, that it is easy to walk in the forests, so the
clothes should not be too heavy. When hunting with an moose hunting dog, we
will be walking with the dog in the forests, and getting cold is not usual. Of course
we need also some quite warm clothes to be able to stand in one place on hour
or so. Waterproof boots are also needed. If You don´t want to carry all the
clothes and equipment of Your own with You, we can also find You something from
local hunting and fishing shops or from the clothes of Wild North the
first day you are here in Wild North.
Please note also differencies between the North and South Finland. In the
northernmost Lapland it could be already winter with snow and coldness in
October and in the Southern Finland already.
Hunting
area
The hunting will take place nearly in whole Finland. The accommodation will
take place in the forest or wilderness cabins of Wild North near the hunting
area or at hotels if required. the wilderness cabins are warm and comfortable
with quite good facilities, but with no luxury. You will not need sleeping bag
or anything else to overnight. If You want to overnight in the forest with a
lean to and fire, that can be made with the equipment of Wild North.
With You there will be all the time hunting guide with dog and then there will
be extra help to prepare meals in the forest and in the cabins. Also there is
one extra person for us when needed to help the hunting arrangements,
transportations etc.
