The variability in roe deer population in hunting area in Eastern Croatia in the period year 2008 - 2018

Considering the great importance of the roe deer population in Croatia, the objective of this study was to determine the fluctuations of all categories (offspring, young, middle-aged, and mature) of roe deer population in hunting ground in Eastern Croatia during the analysed period from year 2008 to year 2018. Based on conducted analysis following could be emphases: the highest number of offspring (male, and female) was determined in year 2009, the highest number of young (male, and female) was determined in year 2013, the highest number of middle-aged (male, and female) was determined in year 2009, while the lowest number of mature (male, and female) was determined in year 2017. Considering the situation in the hunting ground in year 1955, in the last 10 years the number of bucks has decreased, and the number of does is less than half. 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 roe deer increase slowly from year to year.
