Trying to get bowhunting legal in Norway!

[buejeger]

The Norwegian Bowhunters association has applied to get bowhunting legalised here in Norway! and this time we have the weight of landowners and gunhunters behind us.. lets hope for a positive outcome!  The application is for a trial or evaluation period similar to that in Denmark when they legalised it....  Here in Norway however the application is for ALL huntable species... not topping out at Roedeer like in Denmark..  
One thing is certain, if it goes through, in addition to the normal hunter education and test, there will be an obligatory shooter test, most likely based on the Danish model.. considered to be one of the hardest out there....
For those of you that can read Norwegian here is a link to a national newspapers coverage of the application....

We have a lot of freedoms in the US that we take for granted. They become self evident when going to or being in another country other than the US. I hope bowhunting becomes legal in Norway.

Good for you Buejeger. Here's to your efforts being rewarded. You could be on the forefront of bringing back a tradition to your country.

Good luck. If I couldn't bow hunt a part of me would perish.  Bob

I really like the idea of a shooting proficiency test. Here in Missouri, when the MDC sets up managed bow hunts; all the archers selected must shoot a proficiency test and get 90% of their arrows in the big center.

We all wish you the very best with getting bowhunting going in Norway and hope you pass the test too!
