Abstract

This Act provides for a game management fee for each hunting year to be paid to the State by a person engaged in hunting or acting as a hunting master referred to in section 28 of the Hunting Act. Before paying the game management fee the person concerned must, by taking a hunting examination, demonstrate his/her knowledge of hunting and game management and of the hunting provisions to an examiner appointed by the game management association or the game management district. The Act also requires a hunting licence fee for each cervid killed to be paid by a person granted a licence required for hunting cervids referred to in section 10 of the Hunting Act. The Hunters’ Central Organization keeps a register of hunters (hunter register) which is used for planning hunter training, advisory services, supervision of hunting, practical hunting and game management arrangements, and for carrying out other tasks related to hunting and game management and compiling statistics.
