Game control, closed ground and the record book
Every animal taken is reported, every location noted by its place name from the 1:25,000 map, and a mistaken shot carries a fee.
Article 22 requires that game taken be reported. Ibex must be presented the same day at the wildlife police control posts. A chamois taken in the Jura, at the foot of the Jura or on the plain is reported immediately to the district inspector, who arranges the presentation; in the Alps and the Chablais the report is likewise immediate and the animal is presented at the control posts or as agreed with the inspector. Red deer, whether hunted in a team or individually, is also reported immediately. Article 23 governs the record book: returned by 5 March 2027 at the latest to the hunting, fishing and species section; the control card for each wild boar returned within 48 hours; red deer control forms handed to the inspector at the presentation; the cards for June-July boar stalking and for crow hunting returned by 15 August 2027. The location must carry the place name from the 1:25,000 map, for every species taken. Error carries a tariff: article 4 sets fees for animals taken by mistake — 200 or 300 francs depending on the ibex category, 7 francs a kilo for red deer with a 600-franc supplement for a stag of more than eight points, 400 francs for a chamois, 200 francs for a lactating female, 100 francs for a hind with her calf or a sow with her piglets. Articles 9 and 10 finally delimit ground closed to hunting and traffic restrictions, completed by the directives of 20 January 2022 on wildlife quiet zones.
