The sales of day permits for the hunting of grouse in Sweden begins August 20 but it differs some between the counties, see below.
Since we know that the interest is huge which effects the load on the servers we have decided together with the "länsstyrelserna" to start at different hours.
The close ties period for hunting ends 15 september. After that all, with valid licences, may go hunting on these state-owned land.
