Hunting leader: "Better temperature on premiere day than in many years"

- It will be very tough for the dogs if it is too hot. The temperature that is today is considerably better than we had in many years on the premiere day, says Madeleine Tjernberg Dahlin, hunting leader for Höllsjön Västanbäck's hunting team four miles west of Sundsvall ..

They are 14 regular in the team and usually shoot 25 moose a year. The first shooter on the first day of hunting was Magnus Jakobsson.

- So far we have shot a moose on a drop, says Madeleine Tjernberg Dahlin.

If it gets warmer, it is up to the hunting team to decide how to hunt.

- What matters is that they must take into account both the game and the dogs. The dogs can become overheated and the game is also affected by the heat, says Magnus Hansson, hunting consultant at the Jägareförbundet.

- The dogs quickly get tired in the heat. We usually hunt a swing in the morning and then we have to hunt in the afternoon. We do not want to be warmer than this, says Göran Tjernberg, deputy hunting leader.
