Comparing the indicators of the level of hunting management with those of the Czech Republic, we can only state that Ukraine has great potential for managing hunting resources. In order for high levels of hunting management to become a reality, it is necessary to develop a national concept of its organization and development, which is based on effective economic, environmental and social instruments, taking into account national management traditions; to work in this direction purposefully and persistently for decades.
