the various hunting grounds will suit different tastes and different pockets. Temajority of hunting is
under the control of associations, withmore than 320 hunting grounds spread over an area of 6,500,000 hectares, 90 per cent of which ismanaged by these bodies. TeHunting Association of
Serbia formulates a price list for hunted game,while theMinistry
of Agriculture,Forestry and WaterManagement determines the start and end of the season. Woodlandmanagement
teams under the auspices of the state-owned Srbijašume and Vojvodinašume companies run the hunting grounds, plus local associations that belong to the SerbianHunting Federation. High-quality hunting weapons
are produced in Serbia, too, and exported around the world. Keymammal species that
may be hunted include red deer, fallow deer,white-tailed deer, roe deer, chamois,mouflon,wild boar, brown bear,European pine marten, beechmarten,European badger,muskrat, red squirrel, edible dormouse, brown hare, least weasel, grey wolf,wildcat, jackal, fox, raccoon dog and skunk. When it comes to birdlife, the opportunity for hunting
associations breed birds to ensure that numbers are adequate and controlled. Travelling to Serbia to shoot
game or hunt boar or deer involves no particular difficulties and the hunting estates and their agents can supply all the information to make the transfer of the firearms for such sporting purposes simple and swift; basically similar tomany other European destinations. Note that, althoughmuch of the
sporting shooting is considered of good quality at a very competitive price,Serbia is noted for its high- grade deer specimens and that taking a ‘trophy’head with all that it entails can be quite an expensive exercise. It is therefore essential to know the full cost of such a hunting trip before setting out.
