Шаблон:Infobox organization The Finnish Hunters' Association (Шаблон:Lang-fi) is Finland's largest voluntary association of hunters, consisting of over 2,500 hunting clubs and over 150,000 members. The association was founded in 1921,[1] and today consists of 16 district organizations. Its headquarters are located in Riihimäki. It is a member of the European hunters association FACE[2] as well as the National Defence Training Association of Finland.

A member magazine called Jahti–Jakt is published by the association four times a year. The magazine is distributed to all members of the association, but it is also possible to subscribe for the magazine without being a member.

The goal of the association is to promote the interests of Finnish hunters and hunting club activities. This includes:

  • Involvement in forming domestic and international hunting policies.
  • Providing training and educational material for hunters.
  • Organize youth camps and other youth activities.
  • Maintain responsibility for Finnish hunting oriented shooting competitions (such as moose biathlon) and promote shooting ranges.
  • Promotes Finnish hunting culture, for example by the founding of the Finnish Hunting Museum - Suomen Metsästysmuseo (founded in 1930).[3][4]
  • Publish hunting literature.

The association has received grants from the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture.[5]
