Creator Transcript
  • In August the seasons are set + prior to then the owner of a large tract of private land - say over 1000 hectares - makes application for the number of moose he can shoot on his land. This is checked with local conditions. A general season of 6 days is now current + begins on Sept [September] 8 in the North Oct [October] 13 in the south. After this the owners or lessors of rights on large tracts have a further 24 to 25 days to remove the rest of the permitted kill. There are no guides + non residents must take their chances with the rest. In general Sweden has never had a bull law, except locally for short periods where rapid increase was desired. Since 1925 both sexes open constantly but not calves. In a few areas now where forest damage is increasing calves are legal. Main winter food of moose Pinus sylvestris [underlined] + Salix. Snow depths from 0 to 2 meters. Experience is that motherless calves seldom die but may be retarded in growth. There has been a steady increase in moose + in roe [deer] over the last 25 years both sexes killed in both. 5000 head taken 25 +/- years ago - now about 20,000 of each. About 120,000 hunters seek moose, so success is low.
