Would the large populations of deer and roe deer be reduced if lynxes were no longer hunted? The game manager answers this and other hunting-related questions in a live broadcast.
According to the WWF, or World Wildlife Fund, there is no reason to prevent the growth of the lynx population, because according to them, the damage caused by the lynx is minor. In addition, lynxes keep populations of harmful alien species in the pastures.
According to the Finnish Natural Resources Agency’s estimate, there are approximately 2,300 lynx over 1 year old living in Finland. The lynx population has slightly increased since last year, but compared to the number eight years ago, the population has decreased by a fifth.
Why can calmed lynxes still be hunted with special permits? Could stopping the hunting of lynxes reduce the populations of adult roe deer and white-tailed deer?
After the increase in deer flies, many hunters hope that the hunting season for grouse birds would be delayed. Deer flies hinder hunting.
The wood grouse hunting season always traditionally starts on September 10. When the hunting time is limited due to a small population, it always happens at the end of the season.
What is the basis for determining the start of the season?
