Awaiting the prey.

Hunters must hunt either on their own land or with the land owner’s permission. How many moose you can hunt each season is based on the land you are hunting on.  So for example, our family can only hunt and kill one full grown moose and as many calves as desired.  This is set in order to preserve the moose population.

When hunting moose, Swedes usually have a hunting team consisting of as little as 3 to as many as 20 people. Some hunters do use dogs to track the moose and scare them out into the hunters shot range. When you do not have any dogs, hunting consists of getting up very early in the morning, sitting out in the cold, and waiting. It isn’t as fun as it sounds, but if you want moose meat for the rest of the year you better find a moose!

Some of you may ask, why hunt moose? They are such beautiful creatures! I will tell you why. Because moose meat is delicious!  There are various ways to prepare moose meat, and all of them are mmm mmm good!
