In connection with the shooting of the fifth wolf, observations were made on the trail of another 2-3 wolves in the hunting area, according to the hunters.
Therefore, Anders Olsson, chairman of Jägareförbundet Värmland, believes that the allocation should be increased so that the purpose of dissolving the territory in Årjäng municipality is achieved.
- I understood the reports from those hunters that there were tracks 2-3 wolves in the area.
How do you make sure you're shooting wolves in this area?
- You can not, it becomes a difficult strategy when you have more territories that overlap.
Here the territory is so dense that it fills up quickly.
Not quality assured track
According to the predator responsible at the county administrative board, Maria Falkevik, it has not been possible to ensure the quality of any tracks in the area, which shows that there are more wolves than the six that were shot.
- No, we have not been able to do that.
DNA shows that the fifth wolf that was shot was an annual puppy from another territory, Laxarby.
Waiting for DNA
Four of the other shot wolves belonged to the Stora Bör area, while a DNA analysis has not yet been determined on the sixth wolf.
The Värmland Hunters' Association now hopes that the county administrative board will quickly increase the allocation of wolves, on Monday the time for license hunting expires.
- It is sad that you do not fulfill the intention, the number six as a number is an average estimate.
Things have happened in the area since the inventory last spring, says Anders Olsson, chairman, Jägareförbundet Värmland.
But there is not much to indicate that the county administrative board goes to the Hunters' Association for a meeting on expanded hunting.
- No, there is nothing to suggest that we increase the allocation, says Maria Falkevik.
