Aargau: the cantonal system (lease-based hunting)
Aargau practises lease-based hunting, within the federal framework shared by Switzerland's 26 cantons.
Aargau practises lease-based hunting (Revier system): hunting territories are allocated by lease to hunting associations, whose members then exercise the hunting right on the leased area, within the framework set by the Federal Act on Hunting (LChP/JSG) and its implementing ordinance (OChP/JSV). The competent cantonal service, Kanton Aargau — Jagd, is listed in the directory of the Conference of Heads of Environmental Protection Services (KVU), which records the hunting authority of each of Switzerland's 26 cantons. The precise conditions in this canton — allocation of territories, lease duration, proficiency examination, hunting periods by species, culling plans — remain to be catalogued in detail on the cantonal portal and do not yet appear in this directory. They must be verified directly with the service before any application.
