Dataset under embargo

V_redfox_hunting

Hunting records of red foxes in Varanger and Finnmarksvidda. The data are organized in two series of files: V_redfox_hunting_YEAR.txt contains all the foxes shot by local hunters in Varanger, and V_redfox_culled_sno_YEAR.txt lists the number of foxes culled by SNO in Varanger and Finnmarksvidda each year. There are two files for each hunting year (From 1 June to 31 May in the following year) and a readme file with additional information. This dataset should be used to represent the dynamics of the numbers of foxes shot.
