Hunting PM SHS Hunting Association 2025/2026

Every participant in the hunt must:

• Hold a valid hunting permit. To collect one from the secretary, you must have liability insurance, a government-issued hunting licence, relevant shooting certificates, a firearms licence, be a member of the forestry university student union, and belong to the hunting association.

• Use the 155 MHz hunting radio, channel 3 unless otherwise instructed.

• Have a properly sighted-in weapon.

• Always listen to and understand the instructions given by the hunt leader.

• Remain completely sober during the hunt.

● During the hunt, all participants must wear a red/orange hatband, cap, or equivalent; dog handlers are advised to wear a red/orange jacket or vest.

● It is the shooter's responsibility to find out where neighbouring stands are and the forbidden shooting directions. Not all forbidden directions are marked. If in doubt, ask, and never compromise on safety!

● Loading and unloading cartridges may only be done at the assigned stand; otherwise, the bolt must be open, the weapon broken, or similarly secured.

● The hunt starts and ends under the direction of the hunt leader. The hunt leader will not begin the hunt until everyone is at their assigned stand. If you cannot find your stand, you must inform the hunt leader.

● All shooting is at the shooter's own risk.

● Before firing a shot, you must confirm that:

1. The animal is legal to shoot.

2. The shooting direction is safe for the public and participants.

3. No dogs are nearby.

4. There is an acceptable backstop (trees are NOT acceptable backstops).

5. The shooting range is clear and not too far.

6. You feel confident in your ability to make a lethal shot.

● No one may leave their assigned stand without the hunt leader's permission.

● If a wounded animal flees, memorise the sequence of events (sex, shot location, hit pattern, escape route, whether a dog is following, number of animals in the group, etc.) to assist any tracking efforts.

● Anyone accompanying the hunt as a companion must also comply with this PM and any other instructions from the hunt leader.

● Use of towers is at your own risk.

● Approach the stands quietly to ensure a more enjoyable and effective hunt.

● During the communal moose hunts, only moose will be shot unless the hunt leader states otherwise.

● Each member is only allowed to shoot one moose per occasion; the wounded moose must be recovered before shooting any others.

● When shooting adult female moose, the shooter must be certain that she is not with a calf. Report any sightings of cows with calves via radio to reduce the risk of shooting a cow before her calf.

● As a dog handler, you should frequently report your and your dog's position in the beat so that shooters know where you are.

● Before hunting moose or red deer, always check the website to see how many and which animals remain allocated in the current hunting area.

● For individual moose hunts (not communal hunts), a deputy hunt leader must be appointed. If an animal is wounded, the deputy leader must contact the hunt leader before beginning any tracking.

● Breaching any of the above rules may result in suspension from future hunts as decided by the hunt management.
