" Here the bear hunts moose in front of Ludwig's camera: "Shock experience"

UPDATED AUGUST 1, 2019 PUBLISHED JULY 31, 2019

Ludvig Emmoth had placed a tile camera near his cabin outside Gällivare to find out if there were moose in the area - but the forest turned out to have more inhabitants.

It was Monday that Gällivarebon Ludvig Emmoth placed a tile camera in the hunting fields around his cabin a mile west of Gällivare. The reason was that salt stones were previously placed to attract moose to the area - and with a tile camera you could confirm if there are moose.

The camera is connected to Ludwig's and his dad's phones and on Wednesday morning a text message came that something was stuck on the camera at 02.18.

- I thought it was a fox or a reindeer, but then I saw that it was a bear chasing a large moose bull, says Ludvig Emmoth.

"A shock experience"

Just an hour before the photo was taken, Ludvig Emmoth and some others had been in the cabin and chopped wood and fixed it.
- It was a bit of a shock experience.

He says that there have been bears in the area before, but that more and more tracks and droppings have appeared in recent years.

- There are some shared opinions about it. Some people think that where there is a bear, there are moose, but others see it on the contrary.

"Some will find it difficult to pick berries"

He says that he and his dad received a huge response to the image after sharing it on social media.

- We have a lot of family, relatives and friends who tend to be there in the cabin and some may think it is difficult to pick berries there now.
- But it will probably be an eye opener now, that there is a bear living in the areas.[color=var(--color-grey-darkest)]"[/color]
