| A standard seal hunting program consists of five
days, thereof 3 days of hunting. For best results we suggest a
hunting group with 2 - 3 hunters.
In the south east coast
we have a house with a hunting area just out from the window.
At this place we can expect 2 different species of seals, Grey
seal and Common seal. Here you can also try your luck, fishing
sea-trout in the river running beside the lodge. Grey seal can
weigh up to 500 kg, but the weight of common seal is 70 - 120
kg. At this place on the sout east coast you can also hunt
cormoran, ducks guillemot and sometimes geese after September
1st.
A standard program :
Day 1 : In the
afternoon you will arrive at Keflavik International Airport
where you will be met by the outfitter. The outfitter will
clear your weapons through customs and then transfer you to
Reykjavik. That evening you will arrive at the place chosen
for the hunt. We have various hunting places depending on time
of the year and weather.
Day 2 : We wake up early for breakfast. We may hunt
from a boat with a shotgun using slug or buck shot, a rifle or
a bow and arrow - hunters choice. Or we may go on shore and
shoot swimming seals or seals lying on sea rocks with a rifle
at a distance from 100 to 300 meters. We retrieve them by
light Zodiac.
Day 3 : Same schedule.
Day 4 : Same schedule. At the the end of the day you
will return to Reykjavik by an airplane or car depending on
where you will be hunting. Late dinner in Reykjavik.
Day 5 : Transfer to Keflavik International Airport
early in the morning, arriving at a European airport around
noon.
Hunting season : All year round. The best hunting
period for Grey and Common seal is August, September and
October.
The hunt : A day´s result for a hunter can be
anywhere between 1 - 10 seals. This depends of course on the
shooting ability of each hunter, but weather will certainly
also influence the result.
What to bring : Shotgun, gauge 12, double barrel or
3-shot pump or semi-automatic and a scoped rifle 6mm- 7,62mm
are the most suitable. Warm waterproof / windproof outer
