Abstract

For the purpose of these Rules, hunting means the tracking, catching, capture or killing of game. Taking of live game from their natural habitats, and keeping and breeding of game, is permitted only with the permission of the Minister of the Environment. In national parks, nature reserves and in hunting districts that lack a tenant, hunting for the purpose of regulating the numbers of game in the event of occurrence of game damage, or for scientific purposes, shall be organized in accordance with the procedure established by the Minister of the Environment. Hunting is permitted for a person in possession of the right to hunt (a hunter). Documents certifying the right to hunt are: hunting certificate, hunting licence (licence for hunting game or big game), hunting weapon licence, and, in case of hunting with a hunting dog, the passport of the hunting dog (for a puppy - a birth certificate). A person who does not possess the right to hunt can participate in collective hunt as a beater. A hunting certificate is an official document that gives the bearer the right to obtain a hunting licence and the right to individual hunting. The right to obtain a hunting certificate can be exercised by natural persons who are at least 18 years of age, have passed a hunting proficiency test and have paid the state duty. A hunting licence is issued by the manager of a state hunting district, the tenant of a tenant hunting district or the owner of a private hunting district. The price of a hunting licence shall be determined by the issuer of the licence. A hunting licence is opened at the beginning of each hunting day with marking the date on the licence. In collective hunt, the existence of a hunt list shall be marked on the licence. A licence for hunting big game shall be signed by the holder of the licence or by the hunt leader. This Regulation lists authorized hunting gear, hunting methods and game authorized for hunting.
