The Icelandic Hunting Club was founded by Björn Birgisson in 1994, and has an international reputation as Iceland´s premier hunting outfitter.
The Rock Ptarmigan is a small game bird found in alpine and arctic regions. It's notable for its seasonal camouflage, transitioning from snow-white plumage in winter to a mottled brown in summer.
Rock Ptarmigans are native to mountainous regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including the Alps, Pyrenees, and in the Arctic tundra regions of Canada, Greenland, and northern Asia.
Their unique seasonal camouflage is a hallmark. Also, they have feathered feet, which act as natural snowshoes, and they often remain on the ground instead of taking to the air when approached.
They are typically hunted by walking up or stalking in their habitat. Dogs can be valuable in locating and pointing out birds.
Yes, hunting seasons usually coincide with the late summer or early fall, but the specific timing may vary by region. Always consult with local game regulations.
They are ground dwellers, preferring to run rather than fly when threatened. During the breeding season, males may become more aggressive and territorial.
Absolutely! Their meat is tender and flavorful, considered a delicacy in many regions.
Their habitats are often rugged and remote, requiring physical stamina from hunters. Their camouflage, especially during winter, can make them difficult to spot.
Wear layers, as weather can be unpredictable in their habitats. Being patient, using binoculars for spotting, and being respectful of the environment are key.
