The defendant replied all “not guilty” as charged of attempted illegal Ulvejakt in February 2014.
The experiment should have found place on Bjørnåsen, 17 km as the crow flies from the district court in Elverum.
Extension wolves fox hunting
One of the accused, a 48 year old man from Elverum, also denied culpability for illegal Ulvejakt in March last year, when he under baiting foxes shot a wolf.
The defendants were arrested during a major police raid last April.
12 arrested for illegal Ulvejakt
Altogether 12 people were arrested, but the cases against the other six were later dropped.
Illegal hunting for decades
The prosecutor in the case, Public Prosecutor Tarjei Istad in Økokrim now hold his opening argument:
– The reason that you have allocated resources and work against what they believe is targeted Ulvejakt is that police have received messages and tips about illegal Ulvejakt throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, says Istad.
He believes that illegal hunting of the total protected wolf probably has been happening ever since it came back in Norwegian fauna 1970s.
