“Hunta takes care of everything we used to do ourselves. We set the price, hunters buy the cards, and the reports come in on their own. I’d recommend it to every landowners’ association.”
Jens-Arne Hafeld, contact person at Nordre Kaldfjord Grunneierlag
What the association wanted
Nordre Kaldfjord Grunneierlag manages 14,550 decares of forest and mountain in Tromsø municipality, just outside the city. The hunting here is for ptarmigan, fox and corvids, and plenty of hunters live nearby.
The association wanted everything in one place: the listing, the payment, who hunts on which days, and the harvest reports. And it wanted to decide for itself, both what the cards cost and how many are sold per day.
“We wanted control over the cards and the reports, and one place to do it all. We got that in Hunta,” says Jens-Arne Hafeld, the association’s contact person.
How it works
Setup took one day. The ground went onto the map with a single click, and then the association added its hunting rules, its card types and how many cards to sell each day. It cost nothing.
“It was easier than we expected,” says Hafeld. “We entered the rules, decided how many cards we wanted to sell and were ready the same day.”
Along the way, the association had a few requests. “We had some requests for adjustments, and Hunta was quick to come back with a solution that worked,” he says. Today the association sells three cards per day, with or without a dog.
The association also wanted to be sure that everyone hunting on its ground has paid the hunting fee. That is now in place. When a hunter buys a card, Hunta checks the hunting fee directly with the Register of Hunters in Brønnøysund, and the overview of sold cards shows the association who has paid.
“We wanted to know that everyone hunting with us has paid the hunting fee. Now it’s checked when the card is bought, and we see it right away,” says Hafeld.
The association sets the price itself. Hunta adds a 10 percent platform fee, and the hunter sees and pays the price with the fee included. That’s all.
| Card | Price set by the association | The hunter pays |
|---|---|---|
| Day card without dog | NOK 260 | NOK 286 |
| Day card with dog | NOK 300 | NOK 330 |
After the hunt, hunters submit a harvest report in Hunta. Anyone who forgets gets two reminders, by email and in the mobile app. If the report comes in late, the hunter is charged NOK 440, a fee the association has set itself.
“Reporting works really well. We don’t have to chase anyone,” says Hafeld.
Hunters use the Hunta app on iPhone or Android. The ground is on the map there, and the reminders come straight to their phone.
The first evening
Sales opened on 5 October. Hunters pick a day in the calendar and see right away how many cards are left.
Several cards were bought the same evening.
The association sees everything in one overview: how many cards are left, who is hunting, what has been paid and whether the report is in.
“We put the cards out in the afternoon, and that same evening several days had sold out. Now we can see who’s hunting each day without calling around.”
