On the lookout with a thermal imaging camera and rifle: The she-wolf in the Bern area should be scared off. What does that mean in concrete terms? A Graubünden ranger tells.

Only thirty meters separated Arnold Caminada from the wolf pack. On one side the four predators, on the other the group of rangers from Graubünden. “I’ll never forget this moment.”
Change of location: a she-wolf has been occupying the Bern region for over a month. She sneaks through the Gürbetal and the Gantrisch area, tears sheep, got in front of a car. At the beginning of November the hunting inspectorate decided: The animal should be scared off. But what exactly does this mean?
A question whose answer you have to look beyond the canton’s borders. The Bernese have so far had little experience with the wolf; one animal currently lives in the rear of the Emmental, six years ago another specimen roamed the Gantrisch region. First of all, gamekeepers have so far successfully scared off a wolf.
