Disken: a dashboard for everyone who owns the hunt, not just the landowner
Hunting is rarely managed by one person
Hunting in Norway is managed by mountain boards (fjellstyre), by hunting and fishing associations, by large valds, vald being the Norwegian management unit for big game, and by landowners' associations. By people who do not have one piece of ground and one listing, but hundreds of members, quotas spread across several valds, and a card sale that has to open on a set date.
Disken is built for them.
Disken
Disken is the new dashboard, and it isn't really one dashboard. It's five ways in, depending on who you are.
Mountain boards. Card sales with a local resident price, a draw when there are more applicants than cards, and the reporting that has to go with it.
Hunting and fishing associations. A member register, member pricing that applies automatically, and shared hunts members can sign up for.
Large valds. Permits per vald, harvests measured against quota through the season, and the hunting agreement as part of the deal.
Landowners' associations. Shared ground, shared card sales, and reports that cover the whole association.
Professional operators. Listings, booking, payouts and agreements as a PDF.
What's underneath
Whichever way you come in, it's the same building blocks doing the work:
- Hunting cards for a day, a week or a season, with a separate price for members
- Auction for when demand outstrips supply, with cards on file and automatic payout
- Draw for when fairness, not price, should decide
- Digital hunting agreement accepted at purchase and archived as a PDF
- Harvest reports that arrive from the hunter's app and are measured against your permits
- Harvest fee per kilo, calculated on actual weight
- Payout to your own account
The ground draws itself, almost
One more thing that's easy to miss: you don't have to draw your property by hand. The map pulls the property boundaries from the Norwegian cadastre, and you click on the parcels that should be included. If you have several parcels, you take them all.
If something's wrong, you correct the boundary afterwards, and you can do that from your phone too.
Who is this for?
If you hold hunting rights managed by more than just you, this is built for you. If you're a mountain board with card sales opening this autumn, or an association with a member list in a spreadsheet, we'd like to hear from you.
Get in touch, and we'll set it up together.
