Abstract :
Hunting is an important socio-economic activity, particularly in rural areas. Characteristics and quality of habitat are important in the sustainable management of game animals and wildlife conservation. Three hunting grounds were analysed and their habitat composition was compared with regard to abundance of main game animal species. Hunting ground VIII/2 “Bjelolasica” is located in Gorski kotar region; XVII/6 “Maglaj-Cista” in the inland of middle Dalmatia; and hunting ground “Dragišnica” is located in northern part of Montenegro.
