Kaldoaivi wilderness reserve belongs to four permit areas. A limited number of small game permits a day are sold for these areas. (www.eraluvat.fi). Visitors to the wilderness area may also obtain these permits to hunt willow grouse, hare, small carnivores and water birds during the hunting season.

The fell highland and the sandy hills where mountain birch forests grow around the large mires of Kaldoaivi wilderness reserve are especially favoures by hunters with gun dogs. Because reindeer herding is an important source of livelihood in the area, hunting with a hound is not allowed. There may be different restrictions in the area during different seasons due to reindeer herding work.

The permanent residents of the municipalities of Enontekiö, Inari and Utsjoki have a free hunting right on the state owned lands in their municipality.

The small game permits can be obtained from the Metsähallitus webstore (eräluvat.fi).
