In this compelling film, Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg takes you on an intense adventure in Sweden, in the middle of the rutting season of the roebucks. What starts as a classic bear hunt evolves into a master class in call technique, behavioral analysis and responsible game management.
Franz-Albrecht demonstrates how patience, variety in pitch and a keen eye for the behaviour of the game can lure even the most reluctant bucks out of their cover. He manages to approach two striking roebucks: an old, worn-out buck with an impressive physique and an abnormal buck that even knocks him off balance for a moment — pure “buck fever”!
What makes this hunting film so special is the combination of technical knowledge, raw tension and sincere emotion. From close-up images of the Hornady V-MAX 58gr ammo to the respectful closing gesture after the shot, everything exudes the right hunting ethic.
