The Hunt Is Over

The licenced wolf hunt in Sweden is over - this year. Of the twenty wolves that the government had allowed hunters to shoot, nineteen were shot and killed. The quota in Västmanland County was one wolf, but the hunters there never managed to kill any wolf. They were close a couple of days ago, but the wolf they were closing in on went over the border to Örebro County, where the quota was filled already. This was fortunate, it is almost as if that wolf knew of the border and the safety on the far side of it. I am glad less than the overall quota were killed.
