The Development of the Wild Boars Abundance in the Czech Republic, and Influence of Wild Boar on Small Game Populations

Original language description

Already Emperor Joseph II. In 1786 banned the breeding of wild boar in freedom in the whole of Austria-Hungary. This action has caused a strong reduction in the number of wild boar throughout Central Europe. In the Czech Republic population growth began in the 1980s. In 2017, a record number of this game was hunted, namely 230,035 (an average of 33 ind./1000 ha). In some areas, up to 86 ind./1000 ha were killed. The increase in the hunting bag of wild boars is more than a thousand times higher in the Czech Republic since the end of World War II. The number of wild boars significantly affects small game species (brown hare, pheasant, rabbit, grey partridge) in the Czech Republic. The bigger hunting bags of wild boar were in hunting grounds, the smaller the number (or hunting) of small game there was found. Statistically significantly more (p &lt;0.05) small game was counted in hunting grounds, where the wild boar were shot down to 20 ind./1000 ha. Conversely, the level of the hunting bag of the wild boar did not have a negative effect on the hunting rate of roe deer. The more wild boars were hunted, the more roe deer were hunted in the hunting grounds. In hunting grounds, where up to20 wild boars per 1000 ha were hunted, significantly fewer (p &lt;0.05) roe deer was hunted than in other hunting grounds. On the contrary, in hunting grounds where more than 80 wild boars per 1000 ha were hunted, significantly more roe deer were hunted (p &lt;0.05). When we analyzed the impact of the environment on the level of the wild boar hunting bags, it was found that in hunting grounds with a proportion of farmed land up to 40% there were hunted significantly more (p &lt;0.05) wild boars than in hunting grounds with a larger proportion of farmland. On the other hand, in hunting grounds with forest representation up to 40%, significantly fewer (p &lt;0.05) wild boars were hunted, than in hunting grounds with a larger proportion of the forest. The greater the proportion of the forest was in hunting ground, the more wild boars were hunted in it.
