But that's a hard shot to pull off first time everytime.

Even with a good rifle knowing how fast they run and the fact that anything besides a lethal shot is likely to end up in you dying is a pretty clutch shot. Speaking of that... https://youtu.be/tEIGqD80N6U

There are bears in Finland but they don't hang around in Helsinki Cheesy

Myself and my girlfriend did stumble upon a wolverine once just outside of Helsinki centre in a wood in Viikki. The dogs (two corgis) ran off barking and we chased after them thinking they were going for a squirrel. One of them stopped but the other one ran up to a furry ball and poked it with her nose. It turned round, hissed and ambled off into the bushes. The dog was lucky not to have it's face ripped off. They can take down elk so a corgi wouldn't have stood a chance. No-one believed us because they don't usually come so far South but not too long ago some tracks in the snow were found and there have been some other unconfirmed sightings. Personally, I'm convinced it was a wolverine. The ears, head shape and the way it walked were very distinctive. The adamantium claws and Canadian accent were also a dead give-away...
