    Hunting in Sweden.

    Over the years there are a few swedes that make their way over to NZ on hunting adventures, which get posted about on here, but I just can't seem to find their posts and user names.

    It looks like I'll be spending 6 months in the middle of nowhere in Sweden early next year and would like to find out information about the hunting and fishing opportunities.

    If there is anyone here that knows about hunting in Sweden or can find the old posts from the swedes that have been here I'd be really grateful.

    You will need to know locally specific information,that you will collect when you are there.

    In general hunting in scandinavia is heavily regulated.

    I am going after reindeer next month in Norway and Roe Deer and pigs the month after in Sweden.

    The woman are amazing,the beer is pretty good and make sure you buy a few quality used optics to flog when you are back home.

    If you make it to western norway,you are welcome to stay for a few days

    Sorted. What a forum.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks! I'll flick those guys a message.
    @norsk that's a great offer thanks. I'll be in Dalarna mostly and have been there twice already. The fishing in the lakes for pike is pretty good fun and you see roe deer when driving between towns. Finding info on who hunts them and how you go about it is scarce though. I've been ice fishing in the north of Sweden where they also moose hunt but all the hunting I could find up there was paid hunting at over 15,000USD.
