English translation:missed retrieves
Explanation:
An "apport" is a retrtieve, which you might know already. I looked at your source, which says:
"Han fikk sin første hund, Tyra, i 1996 – dette var en hund han prøvde seg fram med og lærte utrolig mye av. Det ble mange fallapporter, men også mye vilt i sekken."

That's the basis for my suggestion. Examples of "missed retrieves" are at the link.

I was beginning to doubt my suggestion, until I found this by the guy who owned the dog in question:

"Første hunden kom i 1996 - Tyra var en hund som jeg feilet og lærte mye av og med. Hun ble etter hvert en veldig god jakthund, apporterte både til vanns og lands, men ikke alltid like behersket i fuglesituasjonen. Det ble mange fallapporter, men også mye vilt i sekken."

retrieval of fallen birds


Explanation:
Apport is retrieval by dogs. In this case it is the retrieval of something that has fallen. I am guessing it is birds.
