About common raven hunting

The raven is Norway's largest corvid and impressive in flight. Hunting has a tradition in reindeer herding areas where the raven can take lambs and reindeer calves.

Hunting is typically done as stand hunting over bait. The raven is extremely intelligent and cautious, and it takes good planning to outsmart it.

The raven is protected in many European countries but is huntable in Norway. Respect local traditions and management considerations.
