Three escaped bison were shot over the weekend

Parikkala Three of 12 bison from Uukuniemi on Saturday have been shot over the weekend, and the rest is still expected to be home, says Biison’s gardens Olli Hälvä.

The trio were shot on Saturday in the Vaara village area on the border of Parikkala, Kitee and Savonlinna. Two local wildernesses assisted in the operation. The meat of the shot bison is left to the use of the fad.

The rest of Nine Hälvä is still waiting for home to the shelter in the village of Niukkala. The home trip should be promoted to a favorable way to the wind. Bisonons are naturally advancing to the headwind, and on Monday night the wind should turn to the southeast of the shelter.

The nine fugitive residence area is 15-20 kilometers west of the Bird Road to the west. All in all, Hälvä has about 80 bison.

Abundant According to Hälvä, the bison was completely lost for a moment during their weekly escape journey. Permanent animals could disappear, mainly by moving to the east across the Russian border, where there is only half a kilometer from the Mälvän farmer. Now, however, the fugitive has been headed for the West.

On the Finnish side, the animal movements have been reported closely to Hälvä, and at least twice the police have been informed of the police.

The first reports Hälvä received immediately on the night of disappearance when a familiar wilderness Joona Ratilainen He was back home from the wild tour of the evening and noticed a surprising sight a few kilometers before the shelter. Information about the animals immediately went to the owner.

The most visible road crossing was last Tuesday, when the herd exceeded the sixth in the morning and ended up with a video of a motorist and a video in the medium.

Faded The bison has been rugged before, but then the excursions have ended with the return home of all the fugitives.

In 2004, just a couple of days after the first six bison arrived in Uukuniemi Hälvä and his then partner Mikko Tiainen to the shelter, one of the heifers escaped in the middle of February for several days.

The bison was tracked and was shot in the middle of the ice of the lake. Wolf networks were tuned around the ice of the ice. They did not reserve the animal much when the effect of the anesthetic ended. After waking up, the animal rushed through the nets, pressed straight into the orchard, broke the fence and joined again as part of the herd, HS said at the time.

In 2021, a herd of 20-30 animals was apparently escaped from the wolf. The bison moved, for example, on the village tracks of Niukkala and in the yards of the houses until they settled down for a few kilometers from the shelter. They returned to the orchard spontaneously a few days later.
