Around 20 percent fewer moose hunting permits were issued in Kainuu than the previous year. In recent years, the moose population has been reduced in order to fulfill the set goals. According to the assessment given by the Finnish Natural Resources Agency last spring, the deer population was at the target level in most of the deer management areas.

The Finnish Natural Resources Agency gives a new assessment of the elk population in February.

90.5 percent of the granted fishing permits were used in Kainuu. A total of 1,794 adults or fawns were killed. With a hunting permit, as a general rule, you can shoot one adult moose or two stags. Vaso was a little less than half of Kainuu’s moose catch.
