Mountain hare hunting in Innlandet

Season: Sep 10 – Feb 28/29

Mountain hare is among the huntable species in Innlandet. Hare hunting with a running hound is one of Norway's finest hunting traditions.

Terrain in Innlandet

Innlandet is by far Norway's largest hunting county, with everything from lowland forests in Hedmark to mountain areas in Jotunheimen. Østerdalen and Gudbrandsdalen are classic moose terrain with large continuous forest areas. The mountain areas Rondane, Dovrefjell, and Jotunheimen are home to wild reindeer herds. Meadow forests and cultural landscapes provide good conditions for roe deer.
