Less wolves felled
In the hunting year 2001/02 two wolves were felled, one as noxious and one in self-defence. By comparison, 17 wolves were felled the previous hunting year. This is due to the fact that as many as 13 animals were felled as noxious in 2000/01, including 9 wolves in Østerdalen in February-March 2001.
