THE BEST CLOTHING AND GEAR FOR YOUR HUNT We were founded as a hunting brand in 1985 in southern Sweden at the Härkila family estate. At that time, the estate had been passed down 12 generations from one generation of hunters to the next. The founding principle of Härkila as a hunting brand was to produce high-quality hunting garments for the discerning hunter, for use in difficult weather conditions and physically demanding terrain. Initially, we manufactured clothing exclusively for one of the oldest, most essentially Scandinavian forms of hunting, namely for moose/elk, that had been the Härkila estate’s predilection over the generations. The ambition was to make hunting clothes that were as waterproof and silent as possible, and we succeeded in this in close partnership with GORE-TEX. The clothes were an immediate hit in Sweden and Härkila rapidly expanded into the other Nordic countries. Today, we are present in more than 50 countries around the world, and we no longer restrict our output solely to moose hunting, but also cover wild boar, gamebirds and winter hunting, among others. But we retain the same high level of specialisation and depth of passion for hunting that characterised our beginnings, when we made our first moose-hunting suit nearly 4 decades ago. All the hunting apparel and equipment we produce are made from carefully chosen materials, to serve you well for many seasons. We put a lot of effort into making products of exceptional quality, which means that you will never find Härkila items at the cheaper end of the market. But if you buy quality products that will withstand season after season of hard use, not only will you be getting clothing and other gear that enhance your hunting experiences. In the long run, you will also save money by not having to constantly replace them. This is ultimately by far the most sustainable choice you can make. Happy hunting. Discover more at harkila.com

CAMOUFLAGE FOR ACTIVE WINTER HUNTING The Winter Active range comprises highly breathable, windproof hunting wear with snow camouflage, making this the ideal choice for active winter hunting. The range includes a shell suit, which is not insulating in itself, but forms a protective outer layer to use on top of whatever insulating layers the temperature and your activity level dictate.

WINTER ACTIVE WSP JACKET AXIS MSP ®SNOW The Winter Active WSP jacket is made from a soft, hi-stretch fabric, and it incorporates a Gore-Tex Infinium™ membrane, that shuts the wind out. As well as being perspiration-wicking, highly breathable and having a net lining for optimal air circulation, the jacket has long zipped vents under the arms for when your activity levels rise. The jacket has slanted radio pockets with dual openings, two large front pockets, a zipped inner pocket, and a net pocket for your mobile. SIZE 46-56

THE WINTER ACTIVE SUIT OUT HUNTING In the autumn of last year, we sent Winter Active hunting suits to two of Scandinavia’s most experienced hunting outfitters in Sweden and Norway. They used the suit on a variety of different hunts over the winter. Discover what they had to say about the suit:

W I N T E R AC T I V E

“

I hunted in the Winter Active suit throughout winter and I’m very happy with it. The camouflage is very effective in the snow and the garment is very quiet. It’s really comfortable to wear on a mobile hunt, and has all the pockets you need for this type of outing. I especially like the adjustment straps behind the knees and the hidden hook and snow seal at the ankles on the trousers for stopping snow getting in.

W I N T E R AC T I V E

On an active winter hunt, your clothes need to have a good fit and be relatively lightweight, to give you freedom of movement and not weigh you down. The Winter Active suit sits comfortably, with room for whatever extra layers of insulation you need underneath. Even with its waterproof membrane, it weighs very little, which is a huge benefit if you are hunting on skis.

F R E E Z I N G T E M P E R AT U R E S, LOTS O F K I LO M E T R E S TO C OV E R , S H O RT DAYS. W H AT A R E YO U WA I T I N G F O R? Written by: Filip Örnerkrans, passionate hunter and hunting expert Winter hunting for Capercaillies is often no easy task. Conditions are often harsh with extremely low temperatures downwards – 30 degrees Celsius, lots of snow and great distances/areas to cover on skis. Days are short and you really want to make use of every minute of shooting light. This makes preparations and choosing the best gear for the task at hand very important.

W I N T E R AC T I V E

Perhaps it goes without saying but knowing how to use the gear you bring is also extremely important. You want to travel light but at the same time not so light that you are left without the necessities in a potentially hazardous situation. You might encounter everything from broken skis to sudden snowstorms during hunting in January. And, in addition, after a successful hunt you want to be able to carry the game home without breaking your back. A capercaillie isn’t that heavy, you might think. But let us tell you: An addition of about 5 kilos on your back when you have a good 20 kilometres to the hut will take its toll. Not to talk about when you manage to get two or three of these magnificent birds…. Getting the know-how, making the preparations, and researching the area you aim to hunt makes all the difference. To help you out, we have put together a guide to the hunt that comes from years of experience. The aim is to give you a serious head start and avoid some of the rookie mistakes that we have experienced ourselves. Hunting in Sweden Sweden has both private and public lands where anyone can buy a day permit. Prices vary from about 100 SEK/day to 500 SEK/day. To be allowed to hunt in Sweden you first must pay the Swedish State Hunting fee. You can do that online at www.naturvardsverket.se and it costs 400 SEK. H ARKI L A .CO M

W I N T E R AC T I V E

Thereafter you can visit www.natureit.se and buy a permit on available public land areas. To find private land can be a bit more difficult since there are no detailed maps over private areas that sell day permits. You can ask at the regional Swedish hunting association (Svenska Jägareförbundet) office and they can help you out. Info is found at www.jagareforbundet.se. You can also become a member in this organization. This, amongst other things, gives you an insurance during your hunting. Bringing your rifle to Sweden To bring your rifle you need to 18

apply no later than 4 weeks prior to entry. Information regarding this you can find at the Swedish customs website www.tullverket.se. Having an invitation from a hunting friend or guide company in Sweden is not mandatory but it will help the process. You can borrow a rifle from a friend in Sweden for up to two weeks at a time. To do this you have to have a permit to hold/ own a similar gun/rifle in your home country. You can not rent a rifle from a arms dealer. Where to hunt Winter hunting for capercaillie and black grouse is not

W I N T E R AC T I V E

possible all over Sweden. From the county Dalarna and northwards all the way up to the top of Sweden you will find possibilities to hunt.

These areas are often hard to hunt because of the dense forest but nevertheless, you need to hunt where you find the birds.

During wintertime, capercaillies eat pine tree needles. This means that you want to find areas where there is food for the birds. In the mountain areas on the east side of the Scandies you will find areas with vast open marches were pines grow. These places can be hard to find and get to but when you do, its magical terrain to hunt in.

Study maps and contact the local Swedish Hunting Association office. Another tip is to find groups on Facebook for initiated capercaillie hunters. Search for “Toppjakt” and you will probably find some groups.

You can also find capercaillies in quite young pine forests.

When to hunt The capercaillie and black grouse season stretches from 25th of August to 15th of February. However, the winter hunting season starts at the

15th of November and ends 15th of February. During the winter period you are only allowed to hunt the roosters (male birds). The best time to hunt would be around the last half of January and the first half of February. This is because the light lasts longer, and temperatures might not go as low as in the midst of winter. Remember that the last hour of the day is often the most productive hour of the day. The birds are often very active during the hour before dark since it is the last chance for them to feed before night.

H ARKI L A .CO M

W I N T E R AC T I V E

A nice thing to know is that the birds often dig themselves down in the snow during nights or during hard winds and heavy snowfall. This means that an area can seem empty during the first half of the day and full of birds in the afternoon. The Gear When it comes to gear you don’t need any fancy stuff to be successful, but some items definitely have had an impact on your success rate. Weapon of choice For this type of hunting, you need a rifle with a high magnifying scope. Shots are often taken on long distances up to 3-400 meters depending on your skill. You can use any calibre from 22 WM and above. We prefer the 6,5x55, 6,5 Creedmoor or something similar and we shoot with full metal jacket bullets or competition bullets like the Lapua Scenar with a small hole in the point. A soft lead or plastic point bullet will destroy the delicious meat. It is normal to use your backpack for support when shooting but a bipod is not bad to have either. Binoculars and rangefinder A steady set of binoculars are a must-have, and, if possible, a pair with built in rangefinder. 8x42 or 10x42 is the way to go. You will spend exponentially more time looking through your binos than shooting so lens quality is important. The rangefinder is hard to live without once you start using them. Many of the shots we have missed in the past were a result of misjudged distance to the bird. Assessing distance over vast open places and snow is very hard.

Put your binoculars in a harness so the weight won’t tire on your shoulders and neck and so you have easy access to it. Many times, a flushed bird would have been spotted if you took the time to glass properly.

W I N T E R AC T I V E

Skis and boots Choosing skis that can bear your weight and let you float on top of the snow makes covering the land so much easier. You can typically use two different types of skis and which you should choose depends on the amount and type of snow and what kind of terrain you are hunting in.

TR UST YO UR IN ST IN CT

For deep fluffy snow it’s recommended to go for the long and wide classical wooden skis. But if hunting a hilly area, you should rather go with a lighter modern type of ski with skins (Åsnes or Fisher) to help you climb slopes and such. Ski boots are essential and keeping your feet warm while at the same time avoiding blisters is important. A boot that has a loose inner shoe made of wool that is exchangeable is recommended. When being out several days in a row it’s nice to be able to change your inner

shoe to a dry pair. It is highly recommended that you break in your boots prior to hunting and that you learn what socks to use to get the best possible comfort for your feet. It’s nice to have ski poles that can be set to various lengths, but it’s not that important. What is important on the other hand is that you have poles with wide baskets. This to be able to put pressure on your poles without them going all the way down through the snow to the ground.

Clothes Dress up in wool for the inner layers and use the layering principle to adjust for varying temperatures. Changing to a dry inner shirt is a true blessing to stay warm after an exhausting approach. The outer layer should of course be white. What type of outer shell to choose is of course depending on the weather conditions but preferably a layer in material without watertight shell fabric. This is because it’s rarely wet in January but mostly due to the reason that you don’t want to

create a sweat. If you get wet, you get cold. Bring mittens! A warm mitten is the number one choice. Preferably in combination with a thin liner that allows you to stay warm when needing to take something out of your backpack, using the binocular or while shooting your rifle. Bring two beanies, one thin and one thick as extra which makes adjusting your body temperature that much easier. In our backpacks we always carry a set of Primaloft trousers and jacket. They are light and warm and nice to use during

stops for food and such. Furthermore, we often bring an extra pair of mittens and an extra warm beanie, a buff set of ski googles, a map and a compass. And we never go out without a head lamp. Backpack Bring a backpack no smaller than 35 litres so you can fit all the necessities in it that are required, preferably with outer side pockets for easy access to water and such. An outer game net bag attached to your sack for carrying birds also makes things a lot easier compared to having the heavy bird hanging in a sling. If possible, get a white cover for your backpack.

W I N T E R AC T I V E

Food and water You will probably sweat a lot, so water is essential. Bring a minimum of one litre of fluids for a day: 0,5 litre drinking water in an insulated bottle and 0,5 litre in a thermos. Also a food thermos with hot soup accompanied with a couple of bars and/or sandwiches will keep you going a full day of hunting. And do bring a seat pad to sit on when taking the lunch break. As you see there are quite a lot of things to take into consideration. But always remember: It’s not the gear that makes you a great hunter. It’s preparations, persistence and understanding that you will never become successful by lying on the couch… Happy winter hunting!

SPECIALIST HUNTING BOOTS, MADE IN THE EU – STEP THIS WAY ! Härkila has brand recognition among hunters around the world for hunting garments of exceptional quality. Two years ago, we took a major decision: In order for our footwear to achieve the same high quality as our hunting clothes, we resolved to move all production of our boots from the Far East to the EU.

F O OT W E A R

But we did more than that. In close collaboration with footwear experts from Norway, the UK and Italy, we completely redesigned every single boot in our collection, from the sole up, as well as adding new models. We have added a range of boots for women, with lasts specially tailored to the female foot, so these are not just men’s boots in small sizes. We are very proud that 2022 will see the launch of 14 new pairs of Härkila boots, several in different colourways.

TR UST YO UR IN ST IN CT

Our new boot collection responds to the myriad needs of the quality-conscious hunter: highshaft boots for swampy ground, stiff-soled boots for use in the mountains and rugged terrain, thick-lined boots for the extreme cold, models with wire closures for easy on/off, boots in hardwearing Cordura® that are exceptionally light, quick-drying and breathable. Common to them all is that they have been developed in close cooperation with GORE-TEX and our Italian supplier, who is based in Northern Italy and has more than 45 years of experience in creating high-quality footwear for outdoor activities, trekking and the military.

The boots have extra reinforcement where wear is greatest, without compromising in any way on their weight. This is true of both how the boots are sewn and their general construction. All our boot models are now thoroughly tested in centrifuges at GORE-TEX’s German laboratories, to ensure that they meet GORE-TEX’s demanding standards of waterproofing.

Every boot in our collection now has a specially moulded, shock-absorbing sole, which, combined with a range of other improvements, boosts comfort significantly.

BE SEEN BY THE HUNT, GO UNSEEN BY THE GAME

M O OS E H U N T E R 2 .0

With Härkila’s new Moose Hunter 2.0 range, we have switched the signal colour from orange to red. This has advantages for hunt safety and for hunting success.

DIFFICULT FOR THE ANIMALS TO SEE ANIMAL VISION

350 NM

400 NM

450 NM

550 NM

Since the Moose Hunter range was launched, it has been one of our most popular sets of garments. In common with Härkila’s earliest ranges of clothing, it was developed primarily with Scandinavian elk/moose hunting in mind. But across the northern hemisphere, hunters quickly adopted the range for all kinds of forest hunting, from stalking and high-tower shooting to driven hunts. The popularity of the Moose Hunter range is due to its very low-noise fabric and camouflage, which lets you get up close to the game, while the large, clear, signal-colour panels improve safety when among other hunters. With the enhanced Moose Hunter 2.0 range, we have decided to switch the signal colour from

orange to red. The reason for this is that all hoofed animals have fundamentally the same type of vision: they perceive both red and green as grey. Conversely, they see both blue and yellow clearly. Since the colour orange contains yellow tones, we have optimised the signal colour in the Moose Hunter 2.0 range by making it dark red. The deer do not differentiate this new red signal colour from the greens and browns of their natural surroundings. At the same time, this new red is even more visible to other hunters, which improves safety.

EFFECTIVE PROTECTION FROM WILD BOAR STAB WOUNDS

W I L D B OA R P R O

The VerriSteel technology ensures a high degree of safety on wild boar hunts. It is a flexible yet very tough knitted textile with a high tearing and puncture resistance. It is a protective layer of high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), which is otherwise found in various forms of body armour.

VERRISTEEL

VerriSteel is found in The Härkila Wildboar Pro trousers which have been tested by the authoritative German test institutes KWF (Das Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik) and DPLF (Deutsche Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle für Land-und Forsttechnik). The two institutes have certified that the Wildboar Pro trousers are developed in accordance to the standard of the EN ISO 13688 and are tested and certified in accordance with the regulations (EU) 2016/425 that concerns personal protective clothing. In plain words – these trousers protect against wild boar tusk stab wounds. But it is important to note that no safety equipment can give full protection against attacks. This is an innovative technology in a robust construction that both enhances adaptability and protects the hunter from the elements.
