This year licensed hunting wolves will not be extended, according to a decision from the Environmental Protection Agency today.
The original hunting time expires on Monday, February 15th. Originally, the hunt has started on January 2, but that decision was appealed and then inhibited, that is stopped, the hunt.
On Monday afternoon the counties of Värmland and Örebro County sent in an application that the wolf hunt be primarily extended by one week, from 15 to 21 February.
But that will not be the case.
The Hunters Association had secondarily applied that the hunt would be extended to 31 March. Although the counties of Värmland and Örebro wanted hunting to March 31, provided that in that territory the females had been shot before 21 February.
The county administrative boards wanted to extend the hunting season for two reasons. Partly because there is still the possibility that the hunt takes place. Partly to get the legal situation around the wolf hunt tested.
Tomorrow, the Administrative Court in Karlstad with its decision if really it will be no hunting.
