The first announcements on close season with a legislative power were published in the official gazettes. The first Act on Hunting was passed by the lmperial Regency under the tile: "Obznana c.k. Hrvatsko-slavonskoga namiesništva od 4. travnja 1859". In 1871, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Croatia passed the Law on Hunting by which the regal right on hunting was abolished and the principle of modern hunting was accepted. ln 1875, the Croatian-Hungarian"Parliament passed ammendments on the Law concerning taxes on hunting and guns. In 1893, modern Law on Hunting was passed on the initiative of the "Society for Protection of Hunting in the Kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia". ln 1931, in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovens the Law on Hunting was based on the dominal system and was aplicable to the whole country. In the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia federal and republic legislative acts were passed. The first federal Law on Hunting was passed in .1947. Croatia passed its Law on Hunting in 1949. By this law the principle of the administration of hunting grounds and their management was changed (state -owned hunting grounds, socially-owned hunting grounds) In 1965, the Second Federal Law on hunting was passed. In 1966, Croatia passed a republic law. By this act the principle of the assignment of hunting grounds was changed and the attention was drawn to the responsibility of the users. In 1973, the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia passed the Law on Hunting stating that the municipality was in charge of implementing hunting policy. In the independent and sovereign Republic of Croatia the Law on Hunting was passed in 1994. According to its regulations dominal system was reintroduces. The prospects of the Croatian hunting will be more transparent after the transformation of ownership has been completed and the negative influences on nature reduced.
