A handful of information about hunting in Serbia
Bear hunting in Serbia takes place mainly in the western and southwestern mountainous regions of the country, where dense beech and mixed forests provide ideal habitat for these predators. Balkan bears reach impressive sizes – adult males can weigh between two hundred and three hundred kilograms, and their fur is characterized by intense, dark brown coloration. Hunting is carried out primarily by the lookout method from a waiting room over baits or at feeding sites, especially in early spring after awakening from winter sleep or in late autumn before falling asleep. Serbia uses a system of hunting limits based on strict population monitoring, which guarantees sustainable management of the species. All bear hunts require special permits and take place under the supervision of experienced Professional Hunters, who are well acquainted with the revirs and behavior of the individuals. The hunting season is short and precisely defined, and each hunt is carefully planned taking into account the activity of the game. Hunting areas are characterized by difficult mountainous terrain, requiring good physical condition and resistance to changing weather conditions.
