The fluctuation in wild boar population in hunting area in eastern Croatia

Considering the great importance of the wild boar population in Croatia, the objective of this study was to determine the fluctuations of all categories (offspring, young, middleaged, and mature) of wild boar population in hunting ground in Eastern Croatia during the analysed period from year 2008 to year 2018. Based on the conducted analysis, following could be emphases: the last recorded maximum of offspring (male, and female) was in year 2013, the highest number of young (male, and female) was determined in year 2018, the last recorded maximum of middleaged (male, and female) was in year 2014, and the last recorded maximum of mature (male, and female) was in year 2013. Considering the situation in the hunting ground in year 1955, in the last 10 years the number of wild boar has redoubled. Given the fact that the hunting ground today, and comparing to year 1995, has much more resources available and there is significant human activity that can recreate the wildlife population by releasing throats, there is a possibility that the number of wild boar increase slowly from year to year.
