After the bear was injured during a license hunt on Friday, both hunting teams were made and the county administrative board searched both in the area east of Höjes.

At the same time, the police issued a warning to the public about an injured, dangerous and aggressive bear and urged people to stay away from the tourist trail Nordvärmlandsleden that runs in the area.

The police warning still applies

On Monday morning, the police's warning about aggressive bears in the area of ​​the tourist trail still remains.

- Yes, it remains. Now it's the hunting team's case and not the police's. But the bear is dangerous if it lives and you should choose another opportunity to stay there if you do not have to, says Lars Hedelin, the police's press spokesperson at the Bergslagen region.

Skyfall

The search has been going on over the weekend, but all the dogs have lost track of the bear at the same place.

- There have been torrential rains here and hail during the weekend, it may have contributed to us not being able to track further, says Per Larsson.

Two bullets hit the bear

Two shots were fired at the bear, the first shot scratched a birch before hitting the bear, the second shot hit the upper jaw. During a shooting site investigation, two teeth were found from the injured bear. They will now be sent to the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm for DNA testing.

- In our inventory in a few years, we can see if bear droppings match the DNA from the injured bear. Then we can see if it has succeeded, says Per Larsson.

How likely is it that the bear will survive?

- Bears are tougher than other animals, they fight and cause injuries. The food is not a question of an "eaten" autumn bear, it is more a question of water if it does not die from the damage. I can not say, no one knows. We'll see if it is observed. In that case, it may be killed regardless of whether it is hunting or not.

On Sunday, another bear, a 97-kilo male, was shot west of Långberget during the license hunt.

The license hunt for bears is ongoing in Värmland until 15 October.
