The wolverines have not yet caused any damage, but wolverines have previously caused great damage among the reindeer of the Sami villages.
Mittådalen applied for preventive hunting of a total of fifteen wolverines.
Inventory results indicate that there are around 75 wolverines within the area of the Sami village.
The County Administrative Board gives permission for protective hunting of five wolverines within Mittådalen's lands.
The Sami village of Tåssåsen applied for protective hunting of four wolverines, which was also granted.
Within the Sami village, 12 young wolverines were found during the last inventory.
The County Administrative Board assesses that the status of the wolverine population in Jämtland County will not be affected by the hunt.
The hunt begins on October 12 and may last until November 30 at the latest.
