A pack of wolves and a brown bear roam across a Gailtaler Alm. Two hunters photographed the animals.
With the start of the hunting season, sightings of large carnivores in Carinthia increase. In the Gailtal, wolves are nothing special for the head of hunting at the Görtschacher Alm, Otmar Wallner: “I’ve often seen individual wolves, but never a pack of five.” On the morning of May 1st, Wallner saw the wolves, three gray and two black beasts near his alpine hut. The hunter tried to scare the wolves away with clapping and shouting. Wallner: “Shortly before that, a farmer had also seen the pack.” The next sighting followed in the evening. “A fellow hunter was even able to observe eight wolves at his hide.” The 81-year-old huntsman reacted with quick-wittedness, pulled out his mobile phone and photographed the animals from his perch Follow their tracks in the lower Gailtal. “In the neighboring hunt, a brown bear was also photographed by a hunter on May 1st,” says the hunting chairman to “Krone”: “Because of the many sightings, the farmers here are already worried and unsettled, because the cattle drive is slowly approaching. ”
