He gets called by Swedish police in the middle of the night to track traffic-hit wildlife, hunts brown bears and lynx with dogs he's bred himself, and just wrote the book on modern blood tracking. Literally.\nIn this episode, we cover the massive differences between Swedish and North American hunting culture, what happens during a real police tracking callout at 2 AM, a brown bear charge that stopped two meters from his face, the mental framework that separates good trackers from great ones, and why the \"never quit\" attitude matters more than breed, gear or method. Whether you track with dogs or alone with flagging tape and a headlamp, this one's for you.\nGuest referral by Erik Rohdin of Nordic Tales and American Trails. - https://open.spotify.com/show/0S6FLXVhVbXXD802ws5j1w\nInstragram - https://www.instagram.com/torkelnorling/\nModern Blood Tracking Book - https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/modern-blood-tracking/\n_____\nSilvercore Club - https://www.silvercore.ca/club \nOnline Training - https://www.silvercore.ca/course/category \nOther Training & Services - https://www.silvercore.ca/course/category \nMerchandise - https://www.silvercore.ca/collections/all-merchandise \nBlog Page - https://www.silvercore.ca/blog Host Instagram - @Bader.Trav https://www.instagram.com/bader.trav\nSilvercore Instagram - @SilvercoreOutdoors https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreoutdoors____\nTime Stamps\n[00:00:00] Intro and welcome\n[00:02:12] Swedish government-hunter relationship vs. North American friction\n[00:04:53] 12,000 wildlife accidents a year: Torkel's tracking operation\n[00:06:00] Moose population decline, wolves and Allemansrätten (right to roam)\n[00:07:44] BC vs. Sweden moose numbers and management philosophy\n[00:10:02] Why Sweden shoots cows and calves first, the science behind it\n[00:13:52] Wolf politics, the rural-urban divide\n[00:16:00] Two hunting traditions: independent forest dogs vs. continental driven hunts...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B8WTW1_pTQK-2h9DfU1TlgOqrgcmMPFrunfof0Y4JM8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDM3/YzE1NjU0ZjU4YzY3/ODljOTE3YzY0ZTlj/MmVhZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
