Although no license is required when permission is obtained to shoot
over private property, the sport is generally very inferior. Another
drawback to the sportsman’s enjoyment is the difficulty of obtaining
good or even tolerable quarters. The Swedish game-laws, however,
are as yet much less stringent, no license being required for
shooting on unenclosed land belonging to government.
The Close Seasons in Norway are as follows: — For heath-hen and
black-hen (Røi and Urhøne), 15th March to 15th Aug.; capercailzie (Tjur),
blackcock (Urhane), and hazel-hen (Hjerpe), 15th May to 15th Aug. ;
partridge (Raphøne), 1st Jan. to 1st Sept.; eider-duck (Éderfugl), 15th April
to 15th Aug.; ptarmigan (Rype), 15th May to 15th Aug.; reindeer (Rensdyr),
1st April to 1st Aug.: hare (Hare), 1st June to 15th Aug.; elk (Elg,
Elgsdyr), beaver (Bæver), and deer (Hjort), 1st Nov. to 1st Aug. (but
foreigners are prohibited from shooting them at any time). — Salmon
(Lax) and sea-trout (Søørret) in rivers, estuaries, and lakes, 11th Sept,
to 15th April; in brooks or on the sea-coast, 14th Sept, to 14th Feb.
The close seasons for game in Sweden are nearly the same, usually
ending on 9th August.
III. Conveyances.
Time Tables for Norway appear in ’Norges Communicationer (25 p.)
and for Sweden in ‘Sveriges Kommunikationer (10 ö.), both published
weekly in summer. Some of the more important steamboat arrangements,
which are less liable to change, are given in this Handbook ; but
travellers should in every case consult the latest time-tables, for even a slight
alteration in the hours of the trains &c. may cause great inconvenience
and disappointment.
Steamboats (Norw. Dampskibe, Sw. ångbåtar). Most of the
steamboats, both in Norway and Sweden, are comfortably fitted up,
and have good restaurants on hoard. The German and the Danish
steamboats (Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab) are said to he the
best of those plying to Christiania, the Swedish and Finnish
boats are the best for the Swedish ports, and the steamers
of Det Bergenske og Nordenfjeldske Dampskibs-Selskab are
commonly reported to he the most comfortable for a journey to the
North Cape (comp. p. 225). The smaller steamers plying on the
Norwegian fjords are comfortable during the day, hut their sleeping
accommodation is rather inadequate (seep. 100). The steamers on
the Swedish canals should be used only for short distances. The
traveller should take every opportunity offered of making previous
enquiry as to the comfort of the vessel in which he contemplates
making a long tour. It is, perhaps, superfluous to state that he
should always travel in the first cabin.
Travellers who are about to spend one or more nights on
board a steamer should lose no time in securing a berth by personal
application to the steward. In the smaller vessels the
dining-saloon is used at night as a sleeping-cabin, but there is always a
separate ladies’-cahin. A passenger travelling with his family pays
full fare for himself, hut is usually entitled to a reduction
(‘Moderation’) of 25 per cent for each of the other members of the
party. On most of the steamboats return-tickets, available for
various periods, are issued at a fare and a half.
