Ursus arctos The brown bear is an omnivore. It can be recognized by its large head, small eyes and ears, and large shoulder area. The coat is thick and the colour varies from light brown to deep brown. The paws are large and between 13-25cm wide (front paw). In Sweden, a fully-grown brown bear weigh between 60-250kg. The record is 343kg from a big male shoot in 2010. The brown bear moves around by slow pacing, however when the bear needs to they can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour. Bears climb very well and they can swim. Bears hibernate during the winter months. During which the bear’s pulse, respiratory rate and body temperature decreases. In January-February, during hibernation the female gives birth to 1-4 cubs. The cubs weigh about 300-600 grams at birth. The first weeks in April the bears usually get out and start looking for food. A recent project showed that the bears takes up to 20% of the reindeer calves in the local Lapland area. The main diet of the brown bear consists of berries, ants and vegetation. They also eat carrion and occasionally hunt large animals such as moose and reindeer. An adult brown bear can reach an age of 25-30 years. In 1913, the brown bear became a protected species in Sweden and since then, Sweden has strong restrictions on bear hunting. In that time, the estimated population was down to 130 bears in the whole kingdom of Sweden and as a result, today we have a strong and growing population estimated to between 3500-4000 bears. The hunting season runs from 21 August to 15 October or when the quota is full. In Lapland, Sweden, we get around 250-300 licenses every year. The methods we practice for bear hunting is mainly with free running dogs, waiting at stands and stalking.
The hunt is done together with professional hunting guides and specially trained free-running dogs that works independently and holds the animals at bay. This exclusive hunt is 1 to 1 guided, we have tailor made this program to get as close to a 100% success rate as possible. We use the best working dogs Sweden can offer and NordGuide has at its disposal about 100,000 hectares of hunting grounds, varying between forest land and large barren mires.
During your hunt, we will hunt with free running dogs. When we have located a fresh bear track we then immediately start the hunt. This hunt is a demanding hunt where you as a hunter needs to have a good mental and physical condition to be able to be successful during this extreme challenge.

Why buy an expensive Fallkniven product? It’s correct to put that question. What do you get, actually? Well, first of all you get a lot of knife from the very start, a knife which is strong, comfortable and stays sharp very well or extremely well. And, after some ten or twenty years, it’s time for grinding the knife back to original shape. Ten dollars later, you can continue to use the knife for another ten years, or so. You also get a safe knife, well tested long before it was put into production. As a result, our warranty commitments are as low as 0,1 %.
