SUMMARY: The analysis of the brown bear bag and mortality was conducted
for the period 1997/98 to 2002/03. The brown bear has been managed
and harvested in all the hunting grounds of Gorski Kotar since 1997. The
amount of 116 animals were harvested in the observed period, 51 animals
were affected by mortality, while the total bag included 167 animals. The surface
area of the hunting ground, or the management area where harvest is
allowed, is 133,569 ha, and the total investigation area is 144,250 ha including
Risnjak National Park and non-hunting grounds. The average annual bag
for the period 1997/98 to 2002/03 was 27.84 animals; there were 18.17 males
and 9.67 females. The average bag/1000 ha was 0.21 animals. Of this number,
males accounted for 0.14/1000 ha and females for 0.07/1000 ha. The
gender ratio was 63:33 in favour of the males. The average brown bear
bag/1000 ha was 0.14 animals. Of this, there were 0.11 males/1000 ha and


0.03 females/1000 ha. Since the gender ratio was 76:24 in favour of the
males, it is clear that the male bag was significantly higher than the female
bag in the observed period. The average brown bear mortality/1000 ha was
0.07 animals with 0.03 males/1000 ha and 0.04 females /1000 ha. The gender
ratio was 59:41 in favour of the females, indicating that the female participation
in mortality was significantly higher than the male.
A total of 71 % of the planned bag was accomplished. The bag trend from
1997/98 to 2002/23 indicates that the average bag rose by 3 animals per
annum. Of this, the average harvest increased by 2.4 animals per year and the
average mortality by 0.6 animals per year. The average annual bag from
1997/98 to 2002/23 in Gorski Kotar was 10.3 % of the average annual parent
stock, which is significantly less that the average annual population increase,
which is 25 % minimally of the average annual parent stock. Since the bag to
date has been less than the population increase, the management capacity
and the brown bear population growth was achieved. To conclude, hunting
management did not endanger the survival of the brown bear in the area of
Gorski Kotar. Bear hunt is carried out from high seats exclusively (100 % of
the cases) and professional guides are used: therefore, such a hunt has more
advantages than disadvantages.
