<p>How does hunting work in Denmark and how can a country with strict gun laws also have a strong hunting culture?</p><br><p>In this episode of <em>What Are You Doing in Denmark,</em> Derek and Brooke<strong> </strong> sit down with David Carsten Pedersen, author, founder of Always Hunting, and host of the Danish podcast <em>Jagt Radio</em>, to unpack what hunting really means in Denmark for those looking in from the outside.</p><br><p>Together, they explore how Danish hunting culture grew out of land ownership and farming traditions, why gun ownership in Denmark is treated as a privilege rather than a right, and how extensive education, testing, and safety requirements shape the way Danes think about firearms. David explains the rituals, ethics, and community-driven nature of hunting in Denmark, as well as how respect for animals, food, and shared responsibility are central to the tradition.</p><br><p>The conversation also looks at why hunting has become more accepted in Danish society in recent years, how Danes generally view hunters and guns today, and what internationals, especially those from the U.S., often misunderstand about Danish gun laws, gun violence, and trust in public institutions.</p><br><p>This episode offers internationals living in Denmark a deeper understanding of Danish gun culture, hunting ethics, and the broader values around safety, education, and social trust that shape life in Denmark.</p><br><p><strong>David Carsten Pedersen (guest):</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alwayshunting.dk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/alwayshunting.dk</a></p><p>David's podcast: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jagtradio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jagtradio/</a></p><p>Hunting License Course: <a href="https://alwayshunting.dk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://alwayshunting.dk/</a></p><p>📺 Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2F" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFCSH6KqKooZmSx1GJu9CWZYjX8esjl2F</a></p><br><p>📢 Send your questions and/or comments. </p><p>voice:<a href=" https://www.speakpipe.com/waydid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.speakpipe.com/waydid</a></p><p>email: [email protected]</p><br><p>👉 Remember <em>to tell your friends about the podcast.</em></p><br><p>👀 More living in Denmark tips:</p><p><a href="https://instagram.com/waydidpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/waydidpod</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RobeTrotting/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/RobeTrotting/</a></p><br><p>🎧 #VoteHome podcast: <a href="https://pod.link/1742152076" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.link/1742152076</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
