Beaver permit

To purchase a beaver permit, first select a small game area! You can pay for your permit directly using most methods of payment.

Holders of a beaver permit can take two beavers during the beaver season, or between 20 August and 30 April. Beavers may be hunted in a large part of Metsähallitus’ hunting areas.

Holders of a beaver permit may also hunt all small predators, muskrats, squirrels, wild boar and, of unprotected bird species, ravens (in the reindeer herding area), crows, magpies, jackdaws, European herring gulls and great black-backed gulls without quotas. Small predators include the fox, raccoon dog, mink, pine marten, ermine, ferret and badger.

Each hunting permit is an investment in nature, as the permit revenue is spent on game management.

Complete your investment in nature by submitting a catch report!
