This week, we sit down with none other than Rasmus Boström – one of Sweden’s most experienced and recognized brown bear hunters.

We cover everything from checking wounded bears by helicopter in Norway (on behalf of the government!) to the dogs he uses for bear hunting and other predator hunting in Sweden.

Rasmus also shares his unique experiences hunting mink in the Swedish archipelago and dives deep into what it really takes to develop a reliable bear dog.

We also discuss how to start young dogs and the importance of timing. As Rasmus puts it:

“You always have to ask yourself – is this experience going to evolve my young dog, or be a bad experience?”

Outside the hunting and making videos for youtube Rasmus works as a teacher at a nature-based high school, where he helps guide the next generation of hunters.

This episode is packed with stories, hard-earned insights, and wisdom from decades in the field. Tune in and enjoy!
