In some areas, animals are so used to people that they are no longer afraid to enter the yards of houses. Male deer can be hunted for the next month.
On Tuesday, the month-long hunting season for male grouse starts. Generally, deer hunting is in the fall.
In some areas, animals are so used to people that they are no longer afraid to enter the yards of houses. In Reposaari, for example, the deer population is allowed to roam quite freely.
– Reposaari is a fairly typical example of an area where problems easily arise. The wood grouse is a species that thrives in very small habitats close to human settlements. In Reposaari, the conditions are good and there is plenty of food,” says Impola.
Beasts in Reposaari are only rarely, if ever, found to disturb the peace of the roe deer. Hunting is also not practiced on the island, which means that populations can easily grow large.
