Moose Hunting Regulations

To hunt moose, the right holder must be part of a moose management area or moose care area. This means hunting is conducted over a larger area than one's land, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency determines the number of moose that can be taken within this area, granting allocations accordingly. Moose may be hunted from one hour before sunrise until sunset. Otherwise, the same rules apply as with other hunting according to the Hunting Act and Hunting Ordinance.

Equipment for Moose Hunting

When hunting moose, it is important to have the right attire and to shoot safely. Since moose hunting often involves long shots, it’s essential to have support, such as a shooting stick. Binoculars and a rangefinder are also useful.

If you hunt with a dog, it is highly recommended to use a dog tracker. A dog tracker is a crucial tool that helps you keep track of your dog's position during the hunt. With a tracker, you can follow the dog's movements in real-time, which not only increases the dog’s safety but also makes the hunt more efficient. The tracker makes it easier to locate the dog if it runs far away, allowing you to act quickly if something unexpected happens. It is an indispensable tool for anyone hunting with a dog.
