Hi guys.
I just wanted to introduse my self.
I am a Norwegian bowhunter, almoust 40yrs.
In Norway it is forbidden to go hunting with a bow so i have to go to Denmark or other countries to bowhunt.That is wery depressing! And i cant tell you how lucky you guys are to have the hunting oportunities that you have.
I am going to Colorado next year together with 3 friends on a Elk hunt.
I hope you can understand my English writing and that it is better than your Norwegian. LOL. LOL.
Inge
Welcome aboard! Yeah, your English is definately better than my Norwegian...
Thank`s Bowspirit!
This is the site i have been looking for a long time.
Lots of fellow trad. hunters.
I look foreward to learn more from you guys and maby help you if i can!
Inge

Hopefuly i will.
I have read so much about your country so just to come there is a dream coming through.
I am guessing you are eating breakfast right now in norway?
Yes!!
I work as a paramedic and have just come back to the station from the hospital.

i am sure peak98. i can feel it already!!!LOL.
I am going to tell my hunting friends about it later on.
Just need to sleep first.LOL
Hei Inge,
Velkommen!
Jeg er nederlender.. and that's how far my Norwegian goes. I have been a lot of times in Norway, beautiful country.
I'm probably the only guy from Holland who is on this forum.
As you may know that hunting with bow and arrow is illegal in Holland also.
I get a lot of info from this board. You're on the right place here.
På gjensyn,
V-Archer
Inge,
Hello and welcome
Alex (Swiss-American bowhunter :) )
Inge, I hope your dreams and more are realized on your hunt. I can only imagine how it will be for you, who cannot pursue game at home, to walk with a bow as people on this continent have always walked. I hope you see and take your elk, and savor the meat that you earn. I hope that you find an ancient arrow point.
We are lucky to be born into a land that we can bowhunt. Let us not forget that it is a right that we fought hard for, as well.
Killdeer :campfire:
Heisann V- Archer!!!
Your Norwegian are perfect!!
To bad that we cant hunt in our own country!!
If i can help you any way give me a message!
I hunt in Denmark and are going to Åland(an island outside Sweden,in Østersjøen) to hunt rawdeer in August.
Maby you could join us some time?
Inge
Killdeer, thanks alot.
Yes i feel the same way, in Scandinavia we have long traditions of using the bow way back before the viking`s.
But even so it seems that we forget our roots and that the people that are making the laws are more afraid of what other interest may think, than to keep the traditions alive.
And respect us bowhunter just as we respect others.
But we are still hoping!!
It helps us that Denmark and Sweden areworking as hard as they do.
Inge
HI Inge! What kind of animals do you hunt in Denmark?
I hunt rawdeer(a small deer (18-25 kg) birds, hare, rabbit.
Small game.
They are hoping that we can hunt larger animals if they change the law.
The problem is that most people doesent know how accurate and deadly a good hit is, and that the best bowhunter are the one that gets himself closest to the animal.
That`s my opinion.
Inge
Hello Inge, WELCOME
Welcome aboard Inge. I hope that your trip to CO is a successful one and that you will have many stories and fond memories of it when you return home to Norway!
Welcome,Inge.Glad to have you here and let us know when your in th US.
Welcome
Howdy! Great to have you!
Inge, I hope your elk hunt goes well. I helped a bowhunter from Finland recently (who goes by Rambler here on Tradgang) on a GA hog hunt. I was amazed and impressed that he would travel so far just to bowhunt hogs and squirrels, especially alone in a new environment, and he was amazed at the bowhunting opportunities here in America. Maybe we don't realize how fortunate/blessed we really are.
I'll bet that you will get lots of advice and help from the Tradgang folks. You will have to promise to tell you story (with photos) after the hunt!
Inge, glad you found this site. Best of luck on your up coming trip to the US for Elk.
Hi Jeff.
I will tell you guys all about it!!
And i have already got a lot of help from you all.
I am glad i fount this site and have told some of my friends about it.
I will also share some pictures with you from my next hunt in August so you can get an idea about how the nature is.
Inge
welcome to the Gang, this place is the best of the best.
Hello Inge, and welcome. I had the privilege of visiting your country about a year ago and tracing my heritage back to about 1650. It does seem a shame that a country that gave us Vikings won't allow bow hunting. I'm pretty sure the Vikings hunted with bows!!!! I did buy a couple of repro Viking arrow points in Bergen that I made into special, display only, arrows. I did have to pack them in my checked baggage however, so that I wouldn't be tempted to hi-jack the airplane with them! I wish you nothing but happiness and success in your hunt in the U.S. as well as anywhere else you may go.
Dave
Welcome Inge, Hope you have a great hunt in Colorado. Gib
Inge, I lived in Colo. for many years and some of it in the high country. You are going to love it there. Hope you have a great time and a successfull hunt. That is some of the most beautiful senery in the states. I sure miss the summers up there but the winter. :wavey: welcome to the :campfire:
Chort
Welcome Inge!
Inge - Welcome to Tradgang! I am half Norwegian and still have family in the Bergen area. Where are you from? Tommy
welcome to the family :wavey: :campfire:
God morgen enn velkommen til TradGang. Jeg snakker bare litt norsk.
My wife is second generation American and all her family is from Norway... mainly the Fagernes area. I love seeing folks here from other countries. It is great to see bowhunting in other parts of the world!!
Isaac
Welcome to the Gang!
Dennis
Welcome Inge....
:wavey: :campfire: :archer:
And your English is better than most of us who speak American....
Inge, did I read on another thread that you shoot a seventy pound bow? Dang!
Welcome, Bjorn
Welcome Inge!!! I've heard the moose hunting is really good over there in Norway. Too bad there's no bowhunting. It sure does put things in perspective for me being in Ireland for the past couple months, makes a guy appreciate certain things, that's for sure. Enjoy the Gang. Cheers, Matt
Hello guys.
Sorry but i have bees busy at work!!
It is to bad that we cant hunt all the time,LOL LOL.
Bjorn: yes i hunt with a 70# Gighorn T/D, i am going to order a three stick tree stick from Acadian soon,
Dave: i am glad that you enjoyed your stay in Norway!!!
Yes i am sure that the Wikings also shot at animals and not only people!LOL.
There are a growing interest in Wiking history and were i live(Honefoss 80 km north of Oslo) they have rebuilt a Longhouse. It is a copy of the Wikinghouse that has been found at the same spot.
Tommy: i am glad that you have contact with your family in Bergen, from me it is 450 km to Bergen, it is a nice place but they have a lot of rain there!
And again to all of you guys: i am so glad that i found this place with so many friendly and helpful bowhunter friends!!
If you ever are going to Norway: i will try to help and meet ofcourse!!
Inge
