Abstract
Th e aim of research in two hunting grounds, various types and habitat conditions was to compare body and trophy development of the main sort of big game – wild boars. The data have been gathered on the basis of regularly planned shooting during three (3) hunting years. The game was being shot according to the planned hunting regulations for particular hunting ground. During the three-year period gathered data, 627 wild boars have been monitored and analyzed. All the individuals of big game have been divided according to the age in five (5) categories: (young; off spring; youth; middle-aged; mature). The shot game was delivered in the hunting object for corpses in the shortest time where they were weighed. To male heads of categories-youth; middleaged and mature the trophy value was evaluated according to the current regulations “Pravilnik o načinu ocjenjivanja trofeja divljači, obrascu trofejnog lista, vođenju evidencije o trofejima divljači i izvješću o ocijenjenim trofejima”. On the basis of research results, it must be emphasized that there is a significant difference among monitored hunting grounds in body weight of wild
boars of diff erent age categories. Th ere has been no significant difference in the trophy values of
boars among various hunting grounds but higher values have been recorded in the hunting ground
IV/22 ”PETROVA GORA”.
