So SveinD, what is the hunting situation in your country? Can you buy a license and hunt? Do you have to go through schooling to qualify? What kinds of animals can you hunt? Just interested.
Bownhunting is not legal in Norway.
When you reach 14 years, you qualify to take the Hunting-exam, a multiple choice quiz.
If you plan to hunt big-game with a rifle, you also need to pass a yearly Shoothers-exam.
You need to be 18 to own any type of gun, excluding paintball and bb-guns..
Airsoft might be 16, not sure of that though..
Obtaining a gun license however, might not be the easiest thing, as the smallest mark on your crimesheet can be used against you. Also you need a valid reason to get a permit.
Lol, i remember 20 years ago our 'national guard' sent G3 assault rifles and flashbangs home with those who finished the mandatory service, but they quit doing that after some of the rifles disappeared..
Although very few accidents happened i think that was for the best..
I guess you can hunt just about every type of game, but the seasonal licenses are strictly enforced.
Also it is a shame that our government are so harsh on our local predators, such as the lynx, bear, wolverine and wolf, as their numbers are all but gone soon.. Or maybe they are migrating to Sweden, where the hogs roam^^
