Lottery. Moosehunt is for the residents from Särna in Sweden a part of their existence. The local supermarket barely has any so named meat department, no use, says the manager. In most of the homes, the freezer is filled in September and October.

Each year a few weeks everyone - teacher, dental technician, nature guide and the supermarket manager - is butcher from profession. After the slaugthery a lottery decides which part you take home for the freezer.

For most tourists, it is an unexpected experience in nature seeing this slaugthery. Hunting for meat consumption is debatable. A judgement is mostly formed by culture background.
