Protected game (non-huntable species)

For protected wildlife, including endangered species, specific rules apply:

The finder must contact an authorized taxidermist within three weeks of discovery.
The animal is packaged airtight and frozen until delivery.
The taxidermist registers the game in the Norwegian Environment Agency's fallen game database in the finder's name. This acts as an application to take over the fallen game.
The Norwegian Environment Agency assesses the application and sends a certificate of ownership upon approval.
Certain species require additional microchip registration, a service the taxidermist performs after mounting.
For more information and complete regulations, see Lovdata: Regulations on the management of fallen game.
