Hunting in Sweden.

The course for the Swedish hunting exam, in your language, and everything on the way to your first hunt.

Start How it works

Watercolour plate of a black grouse cock in the heather — The black grouse (orre) displays at dawn. Whoever wants to be there gets up early, sits still and listens. That is hunting, and that is what Orre teaches.

Voices

What people say about Orre.

For newcomers

From newcomer to licensed hunter, step by step

Five steps, in this order. Orre guides you through each of them.

Hunter ID
Register in the hunter register (Jägarregistret). You do not need a Swedish personal identity number.
Theory test
Learn with Orre, then take the digital test with an authorised examiner. It can be switched to English.
Practical tests
Shotgun and rifle tests at an approved shooting range. Which ones you need depends on your firearm. Orre lists the ranges of your county with phone and e-mail.
State hunting card
Pay the state hunting fee for the year; the card is in the hunter register.
Firearms licence
The licence for your hunting firearm comes from the police.

Start for free: the app with map, journal and hunting seasons costs nothing. You pay for the course only when you want it, €89 once.

Finding a ground

Then the big question: where to hunt.

A guide to where newcomers find hunting ground in Sweden: the state, forest companies, the church, lease sites and clubs, and when places are handed out. Orre points you to their own pages.

Watercolour map of a hunting ground with a lake, a stream and small markers

The map in the app: satellite view with your places and your hunting grounds

The hunting map

Your ground, your places, your map.

Draw your hunting ground. Mark the stand, the salt lick, the game trail where the boar come through, the path you take in the dark. Everything where it really is, and private by default.

Watercolour of an open notebook with track sketches, a map, binoculars and a compass

The journal in the app: the list of entries, each with the round painting of the animal and the kind of entry

The hunting journal

A season, written down as it happened.

The roe deer at first light, the boar tracks on the game trail, the morning it snowed, the evening nothing came. Sightings, successes, tracks, the weather and the place, noted where you stood. Months later you read it back, and the whole season comes with it.

Watercolour of the same forest clearing in spring, summer, autumn and winter

The hunting seasons

Open now, where you are.

Which species is open when, in your county. The big game first, everything else below. The official regulation always applies.

Watercolour of four hunters and two dogs around a campfire in the forest, with a coffee pot

The friends list in the app: your friends, a request waiting and the button to share your position

Hunting together

Organise it with your friends.

Invite your hunting friends with a code, see each other on the map while you are out, and share journal entries. Private by default: you decide what is shared, with whom and for how long.

Questions and answers

Honest answers.

Is this official?

No. Orre is an independent product and is not affiliated with any authority or hunting association. We prepare you for the exam; the exam itself is taken with an authorised examiner.

Can I take the exam in German or Dutch?

The theory test can be taken in English, and that is what the course prepares you for: learn in your language, sit the test in English. For other languages, ask your examiner.

Do I need to speak Swedish?

Not for the course. You will meet the Swedish terms throughout, because your examiner and your future hunting companions use them, but the explanations are in your language.

How many questions, and what do I need to pass?

The theory test has {value} questions, each with {value} answer options and exactly one correct. You need at least {value} correct answers to pass, and you have {value} minutes.

The exam simulations use the same format. Check the current figures with your examiner before you book.

What does the exam cost?

The exam fee is paid to the examiner, not to us, and it is separate from the €89 for the course. The path shows you where to find the current amount.

Current theory test fee: {value}.

Is there a subscription?

No. The course costs €89 once. The companion features are free for everyone, with or without the course.

What happens after I pass the theory?

The practical tests, the state hunting card and the firearms licence. The path walks you through every step, in your language, and the course’s field knowledge helps with your first season.

Will Orre get me a hunting ground?

No, nobody can promise that. Orre shows you where newcomers look, from the state and forest companies to clubs and lease sites, and when places are handed out. You apply with them yourself; afterwards the map helps you keep track of your own ground.
