On Friday a female wolf was killed east of Åsarna in Berg Municipality.
It is the fourth wolf chosen for culling in the space of a few days in Jämtland.
Njaarke and Tåssåsens Saami villages had applied for hunting of wolves, who lived in an area that is an important winter range for Saami reindeer.
When this wolf according to DNA analysis was not deemed genetically valuable, the provincial government gave the go-ahead for a controlled hunt when damage to reindeer herding was too great.
