Well I've already made a few post on here and received some great help from the members on the forumn, so I thank you all for that :D

 

To introduce myself I'm British, from Co. Durham originally but have been living and working in Oslo, Norway for the last 3.5 years.

 

I'm taking my hunting exam this week and then I'm all set to endulge myself in the Norwegian wilderness and what it has to offer. If the hunting is as good as the fishing I've experienced, I'm in for a real treat :victory:

 

If there are any Norwegians on this forumn who would like to meet up, feel free to get in touch. I would welcome any excuse to get out of the house and out there in the wilderness be it hunting or just watching as the experience and the social aspect is just as good for me as the hunting.

 

Well thats about it, I wish everyone a safe and successful season :)

 

Regards / Hilsen

Jonathan

What sort of exam do you have to sit??

 

I live and work in Norway so things are a little different for me, I have to take a hunting exam, (known in Norwegian as the Jegerprove) the same as all Norwegians who wish to hunt. It's basically 50 multiple choice questions and you have to get 40 correct to pass, the exam covers all aspects from species recognition, hunting seasons for species, legal terminology, weapon safety etc!.

 

If I pass the exam I can then apply for any type of firearm I wish, be it shotguns or rifles!

 

If your English and you want to hunt in Norway, (short stay/hunting trip) as long as you have the necessary license to hunt with the weapons in the UK you will be permitted to hunt with them in Norway. There will be some sort of paperwork to complete but as I have not been in this position I don't know the exact details.

 

I sit my exam on Wednesday, so fingers crossed it goes well! :unsure:
