Pine Marten
Om jagt på pine marten
Pine marten hunting is traditionally done with traps, but it can also be hunted with a rifle. The marten is nocturnal and difficult to observe, so trapping is the most common method.
Hunting with a dog that trees the marten is an exciting method where it is permitted. The dog finds the trail and follows it until the marten takes refuge in a tree.
Marten fur was historically very valuable, and fur trapping has long traditions in Norway.
