The Role of Hunting Exhibitions and Degree of Development Hunting Management of Countries with the Emphasis on Croatia

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents results of analysis content and conception of hunting exhibition from the end of 19th century until now. In middle Europe hunting exhibitions have a long tradition with continuity of 120 years. The roles of hunting exhibitions are: collecting of trophies, artistic, ethnological and other materials, with hunting themes, verifications of correctness of shooting the game on the basis of quantitative indicators, revealing of trophy potential of some areas, education and promotion of hunting and recruiting new hunters. In papers that are used for this article there is a few data about number of visitors on hunting exhibitions. In future especially attention must be dedicated on numbers of visitors, especially children, and this can be most important date about valorisation of exhibition efficiency. The most frequently hunting exhibition maintaining was from 60th to the end of 90th, and after that period the number of hunting exhibition decreased. During hunting exhibition maintaining significantly decreased the number of exhibitors (r=-0,48; p<0,05), the number of animal species whose trophies were exhibited (r=-0,62; p<0,05) and number of trophies that are not in medals (r=-0,57; p<0,05). The reason for this is undefined level of exhibition. When we analysed exhibitions with only European game species the number of exhibited trophies is same. On the other hand the number of trophies in silver (r=0,97; p<0,05), bronce (r=0,96; p<0,05) and gold (r=0,89; p<0,05) medals are higher what higher is number of exhibited trophies. From 1937 till nowadays there are 26 international and 2 world hunting exhibition was carried out under CIC sponsorship. From this number Croatian exhibit on 13 international (Berlin-1937, Düsseldorf-1954, Firenca-1964, Novi Sad-1967, Udine-1976, Marseille-1977, Bucharest-1978, Nitra-1980, Zagreb-1981, Brno-1985, Nürnberg-1986, Nitra-1990, Budapest-1996), and 2 world (Budapest-1971, Plovdiv-1981.) exhibitions. Creation exhibitors first time exhibit they trophies on hunting exhibition in Budapest in 1996. From this time to 1925 basis of exhibitors were Croatian aristocracy and forest officers. Hunting exhibition in Budapest, 1996 was specific because Croatia exhibit first time in its history independently. Moreover the highest trophy value of wild boar (149,25 CIC points) and wolf (157,14 CIC points) on the exhibition were from Croatian hunting grounds. Between two world wars Yugoslavia had two hunting experts, both of them from Croatia. First one (Milovan Zoričić) was engaged in Prague in1936 when CIC created new formulas for trophy evaluations, and both of them were in Berlin in 1937,on international hunting exhibitions.
