Sweden's first wolf hunt in 45 years
#150492 - 13/01/10 10:49 AM

Two articles covering the recent wolf hunt in Sweden, with the typical reactions - those protesting the hunt don't have to suffer the consequences of unrestrained wolves.

Amen.

We are still working on ours.

Wolves are a disease organism to be sure.

Skitt jakt, Svenskers!

It took 100years with govermnent funded hunting to kill them of, 30 years later they were back and now 50 years after the last one was shot they are counted around 230 confirmed idividuals.

I guess it will be some problem to keep them at the 200 heads they are supposed to be.

I'll start to believe the governmentfunded numbers of wolves the day pigs fly...

'bout time you fellow neighbours start thinning the numbers?

We've been doing that for a few years here in Norway, every time we see one when out carryin a rifle.. Not exactly within the law though, but are we just going to watch our huntingfields go west?

The population of moose (elg) in the border area towards Sweden are greatly reduced because of the wolves as they take al ot of calves, yearlings too. In the old days with wolves, the moose was few and far between. Looks like we're heading back to those times now?

There is a great tradition in scandinavia to use bailing dogs when hunting moose. Only problem now is that the bailing dogs can get taken by the wolf as they seem to aim in on the barking...
No hunter I know of dare to let the dog loose along the border with Sweden, especially because those dogs often cost a lot to buy and train to become good, and you actually loose a hunting companion..

Your wolf problems sound very similar to those we are having here in the West. I went hunting up in northern Idaho a few years ago with my son and the outfitter told me that the wolves had decimated their deer and elk populations (as the hunting was terrible). And the longer the government keeps the public from hunting these vermin, the less fear they have of humans. We can only hope that a few tree-huggers get eaten by some of these same wolves and then we can go out and exterminate them all over again.

I think thats been done already, but it came to action a bit late sadly. They are still increasing in numbers with our legal and the illegal hunting,
