Episode 94 – Mikael Kronstrand: Hunting Gear, Technology & the Future of Dog Hunting (Part 2)

In Part Two of our conversation with Mikael Kronstrand, we continue our discussion by diving deeper into the equipment, technology, and practical decisions that shape modern hunting.

From rifles and optics to GPS systems, dog boxes, and hunting vehicles, Mikael shares what has changed over the years, what equipment has proven itself in the field, and where hunting technology is heading next. We also discuss how different terrain, weather, and hunting regulations influence the gear hunters choose in Sweden compared to North America.

The conversation also explores the balance between tradition and innovation. Has technology made us better hunters, or simply changed the way we hunt?
