Hi!
Since it is out of hunting season for many of us, I thought I would share with you my latest trip in my playground/mountains where I live in Norway.
This is on the west coast and not far away from where you will be out in the Atlantic ocean.
After lot of tough work lately I decided that I needed to empty my thoughts, relax and refill my batteries so on Friday I decided to grab my small tent a sleeping bag and my fishing rod and head for the mountains around my family's cabin.
My wife and children should meet me at the cabin Saturday evening.
So off I went for some "serious" body & mind exercise :)
My target where some small lakes about 6-7 miles from my parking and approx 4 miles from my cabin.
Here is the scenery I went thru:
Did a small detour up to this mountain and what a view:

In the end of this lake is a river with the cleanest water in the whole of Europe :scared: )

After the detour I went on my way to the small lakes and here is a nice spot I felt sharing with you:
unfortunately there is not allowed to hunt with bow and arrow in Norway yet but here is a place I would have made a hunting spot:

Finally I was up over the three limit and the landscape opened up, and here is my backtracks:

Some small canyons

And here is my lake where I was going to camp over the night.
(http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/RonnyMargly/Ronny%20Margly/DSC00007.jpg)
The fish was hunting for flies and I did see them feeding in the water surface so I decided that this would be my camp.
Here is a pic of my camp:
(http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/RonnyMargly/Ronny%20Margly/20101406130.jpg)
I had taken very little food with me on this trip for making it a light carry, but who needs to pack a lot of foods with these kind of pan fish swimming around :bigsmyl:
(http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/RonnyMargly/Ronny%20Margly/20101406126.jpg)
The weight I guess to ca 2.5 pounds :D
So here is my dinner/evening meal for the night
(http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/RonnyMargly/Ronny%20Margly/20101406132.jpg)
I woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning crawled out of my tent and grabbed my fishing rod and after three tries I had my breakfast.
And i do believe that nothing tastes better than coffee and fried fish made over open fire alone and away from everything than your self and the nature :thumbsup:
After some nice fishing and hiking around in the mountains I went back and met my wife and our daughters, and guess what: yes we went hiking and fishing :goldtooth:

Very cool pics! It's illegal to hunt with a bow in Norway, or is there just no dedicated archery season? What species are available (open)to hunt there?
On a caribou hunt last year I met a fellow from Norway who was filming a documentary on Nelson (spelled Nansen?) and his exploration of the Canadian North. I wish I could recall that fellows name he was one interesting guy....
-
nice..nothing like getting away from it all.i am heading into the wild pretty soon here to do some elk scouting and gold panning.
-
Yes it is illegal to hunt with bow and arrow, only with guns.
But hopefully we will have a new round for the rules in a near future.
The big game in Norway for hunting is Moose, reindeer, deer. Smaller game is roe deer, fox, hare, goose etc.
And sometimes bear and wolf if they have been to interested in the farm animals.

Margly,
I envy you. That is some of the most beautiful country ever. Your description of breakfast sure made me want to try it. A nice trout too. Sure makes me wish I were there.
-
Living a good life there!
-
Beautiful! Thank you
-
Great pics Margly.I love the northwoods,no matter if they are in Northern New England or Northern Europe. :thumbsup:
-
Very nice! :campfire:
-
Margly,
Tak! Wish I new more Norwegian but I'm a 4th generation American Norwegian -- so have lost what my family new back then.
Was in Norway in 2005 in Stavanger with distant relatives there, would love to visit again.
-
Great pics of some beautiful land.
-
That is some beautiful country and a peaceful adventure.Thanks for sharing with us.Brings back memories of when I was stationed in Norway(Trondheim,Oslo,and Strodal,forgive my spelling)Beautiful place and awesome people.And great coffee.
-
WOW!
-
Okay Margly, just how large is that frying pan?
Nice brownie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
What a dream it would be to be amoung the first to experience Norway bowhunting. Let's hope that it happens at some point - the US has a long history of bowhunting, but there was a time when we were all in your shoes. Hard for us to imagine now, and something we should never take for granted.
-
Beautiful country, thanks for sharing.
-
Great photos and perfect way to spend a weekend :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing
-
Beautiful country.
I love fresh fried trout!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! My wife and I plan on visiting Norway next June for our 40th anniversary. My grandparents on both sides immigrated from there. Its been my dream to visit some time.
-
Ronnie..
That's beautiful!!! Looking forward to your visit in October.
-
Beautiful pics of your country. Thanks for sharing.
-
"Priceless" -happy for you.
Im from denmark myself born there, came to canada in 04 my wife is canadian, (has nowegian grandparents) have only been to norway once when i was five -would love to go back. Denmark has allowed hunters to hunt with bows now, but you have to pass a pretty strict accuracy test... i suppose its fair enough.
-hav det godt.

Hi Tommy!
I guess that when we get an approval for some test-hunts in Norway they would look to Denmark and their rules for bowhunting. The test for bowhunting in Denmark is demanding high accuracy from the archer and if I`m going I have to take two trips for making the hunt. First one trip for the test and then back for the hunt. So for the first hunt the cost will be almost the same as going to the US or similar for hunting.(travel-cost)

Incredible pics. I spent three years living in Europe and never made it to Norway. It's on my list now.
-
Thanks for sharing. I like seeing different parts of the world.

-
Wonderful pictures, Margly. Thanks for posting them and by all means post more...
-
Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing....
-
Now that's how ya do it!

Beautiful! I was blessed to be able to go to Norway with my unit in the late 70's & spent a month jumping and doing the G.I. thing there. Also got to spend a few days in Oslo & met lots of folks. Found everyone to be really nice & well-educated (& the girls were SO pretty!!). Very clean country, folks there take pride in where they live. Great place, at least in late August; not sure about January unless you really like winter sports. But it seems the gov't there has it bass-ackwards: guns are OK but not bows?
Thanks, Margly

Dagnabbit Margly, now I have to add Norway to my list of places I have to visit.
What beautiful, unspoiled country. Your are a lucky man.
-
I really love the international flavor this site is growing. Thanks for sharing. Great place to call home.
-
Beautiful country!
-
Thank you for posting your pictures and comments. It was relaxing just to look at your photos, so I can't imagine just how nice it was to be there in person. Wonderful photos. Nice camp. Very, very nice trout. Yum!
-
Thanks for sharing a little of your world with us. I can't imagine not cleansing the spirit with a trek like this. Like going to church eh?
-
Thanks for the trip into the wilderness of Norway, and I could taste the pan fried trout.
-
Amazing country! I'd like to see it some day.
-
Thanks for sharing.Your Country is in my wish list since I was 15.I had friends coming there for fishing and they had great time in the fjords.
-
great stuff...
-
Snakke tysk?
Makes me wanna go back, hitch hiked to the northcap in 08 and took 4 weeks walking through the mountains between Trondheim and Kristiansand. The most beautiful landscape it is for sure! Though, all trout i caught were never over 1.5 pound.
Skal!

Now let’s see, this year on TG I’ve been to Australia, Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, lots of North America places, … come on, someone go take a bow to Antarctica and report back to us, and that will about cover our big, blue marble! Margly, it is totally cool to hear from you bowhunters from across distant waters. That camp with fresh caught fish and coffee would set well with us Tradgangers no matter where it is. Those Norway photos are sure some beautiful country Margly, and glad you got to share it with your wife, daughters, and now us. Thanks for inviting us along! :campfire: :archer:

Thank you Margly for sharing with all of us pictures of your backpacking trip. Norway is certainly a beautiful place and like the others here on Trad Gang I would love to visit sometime.
Again, thanks for sharing! wess (wulf)

Make sure to let us know when and if bowhunting is opened up there. I love the idea of "breaking in" bowhunting there.
-
Thanks for bringing our lovely country in pics Margly! I am going on a 3 day hike from Tustna to Aure, and might make a post if we get good weather and some fine pics! Ha det godt så lenge!
-
Great pictures. I wish I were there to see it.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your trip Margly. That is truly some breath-taking scenery. I'd love to see that country one of these days. I've heard both Norway and Denmark are beautiful.
