Since it's customary to post a brief introduction when joining, i thought why Not get it done and say Hello to everyone in the process too 
Well, as the title say I'm a Danish hunter living in the north east of italy.
I became a hunter already at 16 back in Denmark, but then put it on hold for a good few years until I 4 years ago or so decided that I'd get back into it, here in Italy.
The process was a nightmare, but Now I'm finally a selettore, so basically what I think you guys call a stalker.
Where I live we have red deer, fallow, roe, wild boar and muflone, so a Good selection of species.
Sometimes I'm also lucky enough to be invited to hunt in the high alps with friends. There Chamois can also be hunted, along with the species already mentioned before.
I have two rifles. One is a 7x57 mannlicher schoenauer GK stutzen made in the late sixties, with 52 cm barrel .
The other one is a Schultz Larsen 6.5 x57 with a 60 cm barrel made shortly after the second world war on captured german Mauser 98 actions.
For me rifles ideally combine practicality with beauty, craftsmanship and if possible history. So these two are right up my alley.
I thought I'd join This forum as i think we should always look to improve, and sharing information, advice and stories is a big part of that.
On top of this, who doesn't like debating and talking about ones passion. ;D ?
I guess that is it, i hope it wasn't to too long an introduction, and i am looking forward to getting to know you All, in the forum.
Cheers and salutations From Italy,
Scipius
