Hunting in Norway/Wild reindeer hunting in Innlandet

Wild reindeer hunting in Innlandet

Season: Aug 20 – Sep 30 (Rondane, Snøhetta etc.)

Wild reindeer is among the huntable species in Innlandet. Wild reindeer hunting is about being alone in the mountains with the plateau stretching in all directions and no guarantee of seeing an animal. You need to read wind and weather, understand migration routes, and have the patience to wait.

Season in Innlandet

Aug 20 – Sep 30 (Rondane, Snøhetta etc.)

Kort og intensiv jakttid. Kvotene varierer stort mellom villreinområdene, og noen områder kan ha svært begrenset jakt. Søknad om fellingstillatelse kreves.

All hunting seasons

Distribution

Villreinen finnes kun i fjellområder i Sør-Norge. De viktigste områdene er Hardangervidda, Setesdal Vesthei/Ryfylke, Rondane, Snøhetta, Nordfjella og Forollhogna. Norge har ansvar for de siste gjenlevende europeiske villreinstammene.

Terrain

Åpent høyfjellsterreng over tregrensen, typisk 1000–1800 moh. Vidder med mose, lav og lyng. Villreinen trekker mellom sommer- og vinterbeiter og kan legge bak seg store avstander.

Weight

Levende vekt: simle ca. 60–90 kg, bukk ca. 90–150 kg. Slaktevekt ca. 55%.

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.

Hunting wild reindeer

Sjekk værmelding og vindfelt nøye før jaktturen. Legg jakta til dager med stabil vind. Bruk god tid med kikkerten. Reinen kan stå helt stille og er vanskelig å oppdage.
