While\u00a0fuglejakt (<\/strong>bird hunting) \u00a0in MN, or any kind of jakt<\/strong> for that matter, is different than \u00e5 g\u00e5 p\u00e5 jakt i Norge<\/strong> both because of the type of dyr<\/strong> (animals) and the different topography and climate, the rules and reasons for engaging the activity are similar, as is the popularity. \u00a0I can\u00b4t seem to find good data on the number of jegere\u00a0<\/strong>(hunters) in Minnesota, but because Norway has a state-run association of jegere og fiskere<\/strong> (Norges jeger og fiskerforbund), <\/em>I know that 120,000 individuals are medlemmer<\/strong> (members) of this association. \u00a0These 120,000 medlemmer<\/strong> belong to 570 local jeger og fisker klubber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Last fall in Norway, I went with a friend and his fellow jeger og fisker venner<\/strong> (friends) up into the mountains in Salangen Fylke<\/em> \u00a0for \u00e5 jakte etter rype<\/strong> (grouse). \u00a0I had my hund<\/strong> (dog) along and another guy had his very experienced flushing hund<\/strong>. \u00a0The Weimaraner rase<\/strong> (breed) is a peker rase<\/strong> (pointint breed), but (perhaps because she had no training whatsoever), she did not peke<\/strong>. \u00a0She was, however, very helpful retrieving. \u00a0The other hund<\/strong> would peke<\/strong>, someone would skyte<\/strong> (shoot) \u00a0and my hund<\/strong> would hente fuglen<\/strong> (retrieve the bird).<\/p>\n As it turns out, she did the same this weekend when we jakte etter fasaner<\/strong>! \u00a0We\u00b4d walk through the tall grass and try to get her to run in there to scare up fugler<\/strong>. \u00a0She didn\u00b4t peke<\/strong> at all, but if we shot a fugl,<\/strong> she was extremely helpful in finding it. \u00a0I swear these were super fugler!<\/strong> \u00a0Several of them were s\u00e5ret<\/strong> (wounded) and were very difficult to find after they ran around in the brush. \u00a0Stella did a great job though!<\/p>\n In any case, now you know a few Norwegian words associated with fuglejakt. \u00a0I will write a post later with more specific information on the kind of fugler<\/strong> one can jakte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I haven\u00b4t been to Norway for over a year now (crazy that it\u00b4s been that long, gotta get back for a visit), I was very much reminded this past weekend of a very fun experience I had in Norway last fall. \u00a0This weekend my boyfriend and I took my dog, a weimaraner (pointing…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/norwegian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2011\/11\/rype2stk800-350x237.jpg\")
