What is included in the hunting law
game breeding programme
game protection programme
game management plan
what is a game breeding programme
a document that regulates breeding, protection and exploitation of game animals at fenced areas
what is game protection programme
a document that regulates protection of game animals at areas where it’s prohibited to establish hunting ground
what is a game management plan
a plan that regulates in detailed management with game species and the hunting ground for a period of 10 years, in accordance with habitat quality and population size of game animals, and the presence of protected species
without it, it’s impossible to hunt
what are the initial actions necessary for creation of GMP
- act on establishment of the hunting ground
- total surface of the hunting ground
- state and privately owned areas in the hunting ground
- climate characteristics
- vegetation characteristics
what is the hunting area
all surfaces at which game animals live and can be hunted
hunting can be divided into:
- management suitable area (hunting productive) where game animals have the conditions to live, breed and raise offspring
- management unsuitable area (hunting nonproductive) where game animals are found but they don’t provide conditions for breeding and rearing
non-management areas
protected parts of nature
orchard and vineyard for intensive production
fenced grazing areas
mined areas and safety zone 100m
roads
what are parts of the GMP
- introduction
- data about hunting ground
- management with game and hunting ground
calculation of management suitable area
a base for determination of the population size of main game species (per hunting unit)
synchronises game management and protection with agriculture and forestry
determination of the habitat quality index
determination of habitat suitability for certain species
represents evaluation of basic factors necessary for survival of the animals
HQI factors for large game species
- food and water
- vegetation
- soil quality
- peace
- general habitat suitability
sustainable game capacity is
number of animals of one species per 100ha of management suitable area that ensures healthy and normally developed animals, in good body condition, which causes tolerable damage on agriculture and forestry
newborn stock is
total number of newborns of certain species per year
annual population growth is
number of newborns that survives first year of life and joins spring stock in the next year
types of hunting ground
lowland
hilly
mountain
mediterranean
without flood (up to 40%)
flooding (over 40% of hunting ground)
what is wildlife management
attempts to balance the needs of wildlife with the needs of people using the best available science
what is game breeding?
it’s the management or control of wildlife for the well being of game and may include killing other animals which share the same niche or predators to maintain a high population of the more profitable speceis
what are the two types of wildlife management>
manipulative management
custodial/conservation management
what is manipulative management
acts on a population, either changing its numbers by direct means or influencing numbers by the indirect means of altering food supply, habitat, density of predators or prevalence of disease
what is custodial/conservation management
- preventive or protective
-aim is to minimise external influences on the population and its habitat - appropriate in national park
