As of the 2023/2024 hunting season, the reporting system for roe deer has been changed. The figures have been reported to the national deer game register Hjorteviltregisteret, and there has likely been under-reporting from some municipalities. These figures are not comparable to those from previous years, and we have decided not to publish data for the hunting season 2023/2024. However, the numbers are available on the register's website: Statistikk - Hjorteviltregisteret. Efforts will be made to improve reporting for the 2024/2025 season.
