Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to show the example of Baranja that development of roe-buck antlers depends on smaller areas within the wider area of management and that due to various factors, primarily habitat goodness, the manager can not expect equal development of the antlers across the Baranja. Research area is divided into three areas and 19 localities. Hunting records from the roe-buck hunting tourism (1964 to 1991) were used for research. The elements used for the survey were: antler weight in grams, CIC value, the length of the branch in centimeters and the assessment of antler beauty. Age was estimated based on the eight elements of the skull. Baranjsko podravlje (xmean= 280 g and 85 CIC points) is shown as an area with the greatest number of localities where the values of observed antler parameters were significantly higher than the area of the Baranjsko podunavlje (xmean= 240 g and 77 CIC points) and forests of central Baranja (xmean= 254 g and 77 CIC points). Roe deer management is necessary to adjust with the results achieved by roe-buck trophies. Baranjsko Podravlje is an area where it is cost-effective to wait to roe-bucks to grow old because habitat factors allow roe-bucks to reach the capital value of trophies as it is the case with localities Medrović (xmean= 304 g and 91 CIC point), Židopustara (xmean= 292 g and 88 points CIC), Prud(xmean= 292 g and 85 CIC points), while the localities of Baranjsko podunavlje is not profitable to wait because in 95 % of the roebuck will never grow a capital trophy. These are primarily sites of Bat-Siget (xmean= 219 g and 71 CIC point), Siget (xmean= 234 g and 76 points CIC), Dvorac (xmean= 221 g and 72 CIC points) and others. It was not confirmd that value of the roe-buck trophy is connected with age (antler mass tizr= 0,153, p<0,05 / CIC value tizr= 0,111, p<0,05).
