The Böksta runestone is a rune stone located near the farm of Böksta in Balingsta between Uppsala and Örsundsbro. The stone is notable for its images where can be seen a man on horseback hunting a moose with two dogs and a spear. Observing the hunter is another man on skis holding a bow and arrow who may be Ullr, the Norse god of the hunt.
