Hunting regulations state that the wolf hunting season begins on 15 July. The State Forest Service has set the permissible wolf hunting quota for the 2021/2022 hunting season at 280 animals. The same number of animals has been allowed for the past four hunting seasons, during which the quota was fully reached even before the end of the specified wolf hunting period. The duration of the wolf hunting season lasts until the specified hunting quota is reached, but no later than 31 March of the following year.

The State Forest Service has collected and analysed information on the wolf population for over 20 years, which allows for an objective assessment of changes and trends in the wolf population in both the short and long term. Data on wolf distribution, population dynamics, demographic and kinship structure, the state of genetic diversity, the status of wild ungulate populations, the frequency of attacks on livestock, the fulfilment of the previous year's limit, and hunting pressure allow us to reasonably conclude that the status of the wolf population is favourable and stable, and no signs of deterioration in the wolf population due to hunting have been detected.
