The hunting right follows the land, the fee follows the hunter
The landowner holds the hunting right; every hunter owes the wildlife management fee.
Section 10 gives the hunting right to the owner of the property, subject to the exceptions the act provides. The hunting right includes the right to take game that is picked up, found dead, or killed otherwise than while hunting. Under an agricultural lease the tenant holds the hunting right on the leased land unless otherwise agreed. Special provisions govern the Sami hunting right. The act then places three separate charges on the hunter: the wildlife management fee (viltvårdsavgift), a fee for certain categories of game taken, and a special fee for game taken contrary to a hunting licence. Fees of the first kind feed the wildlife management fund (viltvårdsfonden). The administration keeps two separate registers: the hunting card register (jaktkortsregistret), listing those who have paid the management fee, and the hunter's exam register (jägarexamensregistret), meant to ease the handling of firearms and ammunition permit applications. On the police's request, the environmental protection agency discloses the exam parts a person has passed.
