The Minister of the Environment has approved a hunting limit of 318 wolves for the 2026–2027 hunting season. Last hunting season, a hunting limit of 307 wolves was set, and 275 wolves were hunted, according to a press release from the Ministry of the Environment.
A maximum of 12 wolves may be shot in Västra Götaland during this winter's licensed hunt – the highest number since licensed hunting was introduced in 2010. This has been decided by the County Administrative Board.

Dagens Nyheter.A record-breaking wolf hunt could be in store this winter. After this year's halted hunting, a total of 72 animals will be allowed to be shot from January onwards, the County Administrative Boards announce.
This limit on wolf hunting, approved by Environment Minister Ieva Andriulaitytė, was established taking into account the opinions of scientists, interested organizations and institutions.
It is now clear how many wolves can be killed in the licensed hunt this winter. The total number is higher than before and a natural reason is that last year's licensed hunt was cancelled after it was appealed.
More wolves than previously can be shot in Sörmland, the County Administrative Board says.
