\"\"<\/a>Hunting in Norway.<\/p>\n

My kj\u00e6reste <\/strong>(boyfriend) and I took our hund<\/strong> out yesterday pheasant (fasan<\/strong>) hunting.\u00a0 Because our h\u00f8st<\/strong> has been so\u00a0kald<\/strong> with so much regn<\/strong>, most of the corn fields have not been harvested yet, and thus, it is difficult to hunt for fugler <\/strong>(birds) because they are protected by the corn.\u00a0 We didn’t even see one fasan <\/strong>or any kind of bird that is legal to hunt, so it was quite disappointing.\u00a0 I don’t have a hunting license and I don’t know that much about it, so for now, I just go along to be a spotter.<\/p>\n

Being out yesterday got me thinking about jakt i Norge<\/strong>.\u00a0 I don’t recall any of my friends in Norway being jegere<\/strong> (hunters), but I know some of my family members are.\u00a0 I’ve done a little research on jakt i <\/strong>Norge\u00a0that I’d like to share with you in case any of you are jegere <\/strong>or just curious about the topic\u00a0and perhaps how reglene<\/strong> (the rules) and reguleringer<\/strong> (regulations) differ from your hjemland<\/strong> (home country).\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

For starters, I think the age requirements for jakt i Norge <\/strong>and in the state that I live in, Minnesota, are interesting.\u00a0 In Minnesota, a child can be certified and begin hunting at the age of 11 (which is\u00a0before junior high).\u00a0 In Norway, a child can take the proficiency test at age 14, but cannot begin hunting until age 16.\u00a0 At age 16 in Norway, it is legal to hunt for small game and to trap (all but gaupe, <\/strong>or lynx, which one must be 18 to hunt).\u00a0 Large game hunting is permitted at 18 years of age.\u00a0 The age difference for jakt i Norge <\/strong>and the United States is not unlike the age difference pertaining to consuming alkohol,<\/strong> being able \u00e5 kj\u00f8re<\/strong> (to drive), and participate in a krig <\/strong>(war)\u00a0in the two countries.\u00a0 In the U.S., a child is allowed to shoot a gun 10 years prior to being able to consume alkohol, kj\u00f8re en bil <\/strong>(drive a car) 5 years before he\/she can consume alkohol, <\/strong>and kjempe i en krig <\/strong>(fight in a war)\u00a03 years before he\/she can consume alkohol. <\/strong>In Norway, the procession is quite different-one can g\u00e5 p\u00e5 jakt<\/strong> and drikke alkohol <\/strong>2 years before one can kj\u00f8re en bil <\/strong>or kjempe i en krig. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Enough political thought and more about hunting…<\/p>\n

Similar to the United States and I’m sure many other countries, one must pay a fee to obtain a license to hunt.\u00a0 In Norway, as long as the jeger <\/strong>has permission, he\/she can hunt on government property, state common land (a feature of southern Norway, from Nord-Tr\u00f8ndelag to the south and then also in northern Norway), and private property.\u00a0 As far as what kinds of dyr<\/strong> (animals)\u00a0people can hunt, it all depends on one’s status as a citizen of Norway.\u00a0 Foreigners can hunt in Norway, but there are more regler <\/strong>and reguleringer <\/strong>that apply to non-nationals that live in Norway.\u00a0 The Directorate for State Forests and Land and the Municipal Common Land Boards are responsible for hunting and processing applications.\u00a0 You can find more information if you consult these sources.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I would like to mention dyr <\/strong>that are commonly hunted in Norway:<\/p>\n
