Im looking to get into Hunting/fishing, currently living in Basel-Land. Im a British expat holding Swiss dual nationality. My wish is to go hunting/fishing in the future.
How would I go about acquiring a permit?
Thanks in advance
Hello folks,
Keep in mind that fishing is a cantonal thing, rules may differ a lot when crossing cantonal borders. OP is in Basel-Stadt whereas the link points to Basel-Land.
OP claims to live in BL, profile claims BS.
yea i moved, dont use this forum much
any seasoned hunters here?
what about trapping and such? also required a permit?
so each time i go to a new canton must register for a new permit? not possible to get one permit for all of swiss?
im planning on trekking and visiting each canton, spending my nights in the woods.
mainly looking to increase my caloric intake so hunting/trapping/fishing would come handy to surviving out there
Hunting is very difficult, it takes years to acquire one.
Fishing, you need to take the course, which are probably all over until next winter.

Hunting and fishing permits are not national (for most cantons they're not even national, they're specific to certain bodies of water and stretches of river) and hunting permits are a complicated, multi year process. Trapping isn't allowed.
Switzerland is a highly regulated, federal country. Some thing are regulate on national level, some on canton level, some on communal level.
Getting a hunting permit and license without understanding the Swiss languages is nearly impossible. So no need for a link in English.

Trapping is illegal and thus considered poaching.

Fishing is bit easier. There are a situation were you need neither permit nor license, were you need a national license, were you need a local permit, and were you need the national license and and local permit.

Generally camping in the woods might be forbidden by local communal regulations. A bivouac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivouac_shelter might be o.k. If it is private land you can always get consent from the owner.

I've a friend who's a hunter in aargau. First step was to join the local gun club and start winning competitions for the village.
He showed me a photo he took of a boar that had started to charge him. First he takes the photo, then he shot and killed the boar. Six month's later, I ate its leg. Yum.
