Growing up in a hunting family heavily influenced Jonna's early years. Both her mother and father were devoted hunters and breeders of dachshunds, which meant that Jonna and her sister learned about all aspects of hunting from a young age. Her first own hunting dog was a dachshund named Zinta. Despite Zinta never becoming a truly skilled hunting dog, probably because Jonna used to drive her around in a stroller in the yard, this marked the beginning of her lifelong passion for hunting and hunting dogs.
What Are Your Most Memorable Moments in Hunting?
One of my most memorable experiences happened when our dachshund Zizzi disappeared during a hunt near Uppsala, where my uncle lives. Despite setting up a trap and a blanket in the forest and searching intensively, we had to return to Skåne for school and work. We were devastated, but Uncle Johnny continued searching. Days later, while driving through Markaryd, we received a call from a man who had found Zizzi and managed to read the phone number on her reflective collar. She was angry, but the man, a policeman, had managed to get her into his car. Getting her back was an incredible relief and an unforgettable event.
How Have Your Work and Experiences as a Hunter Evolved?
As a hunter, I have evolved significantly over the years. The experiences and challenges have been numerous, especially with new challenges like learning to hunt wild boar. It has also been positive to see how the hunting community has improved in wildlife management and that more women are now participating in hunting.
What Drives Your Passion for Hunting?
What drives my passion for hunting is the fantastic feeling of being out in nature, especially with my beloved dogs. For me, it’s not just about the hunt itself but about being in the forest and feeling the security of being able to provide for myself with good food. Hunting with dogs is particularly close to my heart, as it is something I grew up with.
