25 wolves were found in Carinthia to which Risse could be assigned. However, the number of unreported cases is much higher. Now wildlife biologists and hunters want to set up more wildlife cameras because of the wolves.
Especially in the Gailtal Alps and in the Mölltal, where wolf packs are already known, the cameras will be installed more often. “This should make it a lot easier for us to monitor these animals,” said Carinthia’s wolf commissioner Roman Kirnbauer. If possible, the game cameras should be installed in December. “We especially want to know where the animals roam. In winter it is extremely difficult to find out because of the snow,” Kirnbauer explains.
But the wildlife biologist wants to make one thing clear
“It’s not about the wolf being found and shot immediately. They are not cameras with a data connection. They are only activated when an animal taps into the screen.” The data should then only be evaluated in the spring.
25 wolves detected in Carinthia
Mario Deutschmann, administrative director of the Carinthian Hunters Association, adds: “These game cameras were sometimes set up explicitly for the wolf, especially after tearing. Due to the many incidents that have happened recently, we are now going to collect more.”
In Upper Carinthia – especially in the Gail and Möll valleys – some wolves are currently being released for shooting. “There, the animals are increasingly moving to settlement areas. The wolf will certainly not become a vegetarian in winter, now it is moving even more to the valleys.” So far, about 25 wolves have been identified in Carinthia to which cracks can be attributed. “However, the number of unreported cases is much higher.”
