The shelter has been granted with regard to the reindeer industry. In some cases, groups with about 15 reindeer have been killed by lynx during the first month of the year, reports P4 Radio Jämtland.
The number of folded lynx in shelter hunting is likely to affect the allocation in the latter license hunt. Last year’s license hunt meant that 143 lynx throughout the country had to be shot. In total, according to Rovbase, just over 200 lynx is shot last year in licensing and shelter.
There are about 1,300 lynx in the country, according to the latest inventory.
