Only rifles can be used for certain game, including moose, red deer and bear. For ammunition the following requirements apply. Similar requirements also apply to hunting for fallow deer and wild boar. However, these game species can also be hunted with shotguns loaded with slug-ammunition. Only single-barrel shotguns can be used in this connection.
Beavers are also among the species which can be hunted only with rifles.
For roe-deer hunting shotguns are allowed only between 1 October and 31 January. At other times rifles must be used. Fully jacketed bullets cannot be used for hunting any of the above species. Shotguns which can be loaded with more than three cartridges may not be used. The largest permitted calibre is 12.
