A hunting right means the right of a landowner to regulate or prohibit hunting on his property. Hunting rights shall not extend to lands under a protection regime. Hunting rights may only be transferred to citizens of Estonia. Farmers having received land which is not yet registered have the same rights as landowners. Hunting grounds shall classified as State Hunting Districts, Tenant Hunting Districts and Private Hunting Districts (arts. 4 to 7). Article 8 to 12 provides for the giving in use of State Hunting Districts and Tenant Hunting Districts. A list of game stock shall be confirmed by the Government (art. 13). Provisions of articles 19 to 21 regulate hunting. In a Hunting District the documents which testify the right to hunt are: 1) The hunting certificate; (2) the hunting licence; (3) the licence to carry fire arms; (4) a dog's passport if a dog is used. Article 2 specifies the tasks of Hunting Councils which shall be established in every county. (24 articles)
