The number of eagles brought down annually is put, as we
have seen, at about 700 during the last few years. Some of these
are sea-eagles, some ospreys. Among the goshawks brought down,
there are also some falcons; and in olden times, Norway furnished
live falcons, that were trained for hunting in Central Europe.
The Dutch especially had places in the Norwegian mountains for
the capture of falcons.
Hunting without dogs has from ancient times been free in
Norway. By a law, which comes into force on the 1st July,
1900, however, all right to the shooting and trapping of animals
— with the exception of beasts of prey — is assigned to the
land-owner; and the close times are considerably extended. In the
«statsalmenninger» (see page 347) hunting is still free to all
Norwegians. Foreigners wishing to hunt must take out a special
licence.
