Great picture, but when did Spain have a population of Bears that was huntable?

/ JOHAN

Hello Johan

The photo was taken in 1934 , most of the hunters are from Belgium , ( workers at a Solvay Factory in Cantabria ) , I'll investigate when was the last time a bear was shoot legally , now absolutely forbidden .

Saludos cordiales,
Daniel

Last Bear hunted legaly in Spain was in the sixties (I guess it was in '68) and it was a female bear hunted for a Guy from Barcelona.

Hola 470 I ask several hunter here and all said the same around sixties but not sure if legally , the hunters in the photo are from Belgium , they work for Solvay company in Cantabria

Saludos

I readed the story some time ago, and there was a picture of the legal permit. The hunter's son was the writer and he still owns the bear at home.

Buena caza.
