About us

Villmarken.net is a site for anglers, hunters, and other people engaged into outdoor life activities. Our main purpose with this site is to write stories of good quality from fishing and hunting trips, and other stories from outdoor life. We also want to report tests of products, guidance and tips to fishing and hunting areas, and articles with scientific content.

We, the founders of Villmarken.net are three adventurous men from Norway. We spend a lot of our leisure time out in the wilderness in Norway and other countries, either fishing in rivers and lakes, or hunting. As many other anglers and hunters, we want to share our adventures, experience, and knowledge with you. And, we also want to hear from you!
