mntrapperHunting Norway
I would sometime in the near future love to visit Norway and why I am there I would like to do some hunting.
Now is hunting open to people like me comeing from the US. What kind of huntig would be open to me. I would love to hunt moose over there and what ever else type of big game that would be open form me.
Any info would be great
Thanks
Hi, being a swede i believe hunting in Sweden offers more variety.. Nevertheless, Norway is a great country to hunt in. If you enjoy birdhunting I can recommend hunting ptarmigan over gun dogs in the mountain areas. As for big game I would go for moosehunting with dogs, which is a fantastic experience. Red deer, caribou and possibly bear hunting is also possible, but this can also be done in the States. I dont no of any outfitters but perhaps the norwegians here at the forum will.
Best Regards / Karl

mntrapperThanks guys for the info
The web site is very interesting
There are no limit for you as a non-resident regarding what kind of species you are allowed to hunt. All you have to do is buy a license (which is appr. 50$). As long as you are allowed to hunt in the states that`s all you need.
Very limited with outfitters so you probably would need to arrange everything yourself. The best option would probably be to get in contact with norwegians who could help you, maybe like a swap hunt or something. I`m always ready for an offer!

mntrapperThanks for the info Anders.
I thought that I would probably need to know a few Norwegians before I could hunt over there as there really are not many outfitters.
I would really be interested in a swap hunt
