According to the county administrative board’s decision, lynx may be killed regardless of age or sex, in addition a limited number of reproductive females. Hunting may take place within the entire county of Jönköping.
– We at the Swedish Hunters’ Association view active licensed hunting very positively, says hunting management consultant Jonatan Lilja.
He says that it is likely that the lynx tribe will be strong in the county even after the license hunt.
– There is a ten percent risk of going below the minimum level, not only locally but nationally.
