Until the end of January
Mühlviertel high-risk wolf may now be shot
A wolf was repeatedly encountered in the immediate vicinity of an inhabited building in the municipality of Schönau im Mühlkreis at the beginning of December 2024 and most recently on 1 January 2025 and was repeatedly scared off. It is therefore considered dangerous and may be shot until January 29.
Due to the regulations of the Upper Austrian Wolf Management Ordinance, it can be assumed that the wolf is at risk and can now be removed (shot) within four weeks, i.e. up to and including Wednesday, January 29th. The responsible hunting authorities, the district hunting masters, the municipalities and the district authorities will be informed.
Intervene quickly
"Wolves are almost a daily occurrence in this region. Killed animals are found all the time and sightings in village areas or on farms are reported. The sensitivity and need for safety among citizens is correspondingly high," says Provincial Councillor for Agriculture Michaela Langer-Weninger (ÖVP), who emphasizes: "It is therefore important to me to intervene quickly and take appropriate measures when wolves exhibit dangerous behaviour."
