The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency states that activities such as berry and mushroom picking may still take place while hunting is underway.

Deliberately obstructing or interfering with hunting can be unlawful.

If you encounter signs, hunters or obvious hunting activity, make yourself visible and choose an alternative route when practical.

Intentionally disturbing game is also prohibited.
