SE: The last wolf eludes hunters

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

The wolf hunt can in practice be over at this time. Only one of the wolves hunters have been given permission to shoot remains – but it has so far eluded the hunters.

“The wolf has learned that dogs and humans can be dangerous as it has run out of the area and then get the hunters not to continue,” says Jonas Bergman, Coordinator of game matters in Dalarna, which oversees the territory where the wolf belongs.

“Lately the weather has meant that it has been difficult to track at times.

The hunting permit applies to a special loner. And the county administrative field staff is out and checks that the other wolves will not enter the territory. When the hunt is closed.

“If the wolf is kept away by February 15, it has survived,” says Jonas Bergman

It was speculated that there would be assigned additional wolves in Lokareviret, in Värmland and Dalarna, since the discovery of traces of more wolves than expected. But after the autopsy results from the Swedish Veterinary Institute, it is now clear that there will be no further allocation.

24 shot wolves

“We can say now that it will be so,” says David Hook, wildlife officers in Värmland.

Before this year’s hunting was permitted to shoot 24 wolves in four territories in Värmland, Örebro, Dalarna and Gavleborg. During the hunt once expanded it with another wolf in the Loka territory In Värmland and Örebro. A total of 24 wolves shot and one remains in Dala territory. The hunt is underway until 15 February.
