In 1995 we were invited to hunt in Latvia. 4 days of the
most interesting hunt in different areas for roe-deer, wildboar, deer, fox and what we
call "mårhund" (see a picture of it further down, because I don't know the
english name for it). Here: A meeting before the hunt starts together with the major of Ventspiels. |

The Latvian hunters and a couple of their dogs. |

This one was unlucky enough to loose an eye during the hunt, probably by a stick or branch. |

This picture is taken on the border of Russia, during a hunt with some Latvian hunters that lived there. |

Even a local Lavian hunter got away and dissappeared in the enormous wooden areas. For a long time he was lost in the woods, but after he had heard a couple of shots from the others he found his way back. |
"He's gone!" |
 |
After a successful hunt they served vodka, and the major is of course first to be served. |

The major was happy when he shot the first deer of the day. |

We used Russian 4 wheel drives to get out the game of the large areas. |

Mårdhund. In Norway this animal is only registred north in Finmark. |

A Latvian deer. |
 |
This one was a dangerous individual boiling of aggression. We were told not to get near him at all... |
 |
The major invited to his new hunting house and it even had
a butchery for his privat use. He served food and vine from all over the world - that night lasted forever! |
