Wolf hunting
Wolf hunting
A common method of wolf hunting in the past in Sweden was to use wolf flags that were deployed by local residents to drive the wolves towards deployed hunters. The residents of several parish would join to constitute large human chains connected by the bundles of wolf flags. Participation in the hunting sessions was mandatory for all residents. A law in 1808 states that each county should have three sets of 64 bundles of wolf flags that could spread over a distance of 4.6 kilometres.
