In a longer series of interviews documenting storyteller Karl Bergqvist, he avoided the traditional entertaining hunting stories, claiming not to be a “big hunter”. Instead, he chose to tell stories of “the last” bear, wolf, and beaver being shot in his home region, thus holding on to the role of nar-rator of societal changes and ways of living during the 20th century. These stories allowed him to comment on people and their characteristics, as well as show his knowledge of wild animals and their behaviour. However, he also integrates these stories into discourse on changes in ecology and larger social structures, thereby elevating the significance of local occur-rences to a broader level.
