Eränkävijät is a TV series about hunting and fishing in modern-day Finland. The series follows the stories of the main characters, who are wilderness enthusiasts, as they hunt and fish. They are united by their love of Finnish nature, even though they come from different backgrounds and have different stories, and are from different parts of Finland. While the fells in the north are covered in snow and the lakes are frozen, in the south the ground is still thawed and people are fishing in flowing waters. And while large predators are hunted on the eastern border, further north people hunt waterfowl using traditional methods.
