The European Bowhunting Federation (EBF) announces a groundbreaking development in Denmark’s hunting regulations. Effective January 1, 2024, bowhunting for large deer species, such as red, fallow, and sika deer, will be legalized. This decision aligns with Denmark’s commitment to ethical and sustainable wildlife management.

In February 2023, the Wildlife Management Council (VFR) consisting of hunters, anglers, fishermen and farmers associations, environmental and animal welfare groups, recommended this change, which then smoothly passed through consultation, reflecting a consensus across various sectors.

The Danish Technical University’s (DTU) study on animal welfare aspects in bowhunting has been a pivotal factor in this policy shift. This 4-year-long study highlights that skilled and responsible bowhunting meets high animal welfare standards. Read more
