Roe deer is the smallest deer in Sweden and can be found in Europe and western Asia. The weight is normally between 20 and 30 kg.

The season for roe deer starts on 16 August with hunting for bucks. In southern and central Sweden hunting for kids is allowed from 1 September, and all roe deer can be taken from 1 October. In northern Sweden roe-deer hunting finishes on 31 December and in the rest of Sweden on 31 January. Certain provinces also permit hunting for bucks between 1 May and 15 June. Swedish bucks can produce magnificent trophies. The previous record was was held by a Swedish buck of 246.9 points, which was shot at Vittskövle in the south of Sweden. The new record is from England.

Most hunters prefer hunting with dogs, for example dachshunds.
