Republika Srpska prostire se na površini od 25.035 km 2 , a to je 2.503.500 ha. Na ovom prostoru susreću se različiti klimatski tipovi. Raznolikost klimatskih karakteristika uslovljava i postojanje različitih biocenoza koje omogućavaju bitisanje prilično velikog broja vrsta flore i faune. Na ukupnoj teritoriji Republike Srpske postoji 91 lovište.Osnovna želja svih je da se kapaciteti lovišta maksimalno popune, odnosno da se postigne optimalno brojno stanje. Da bi se stiglo do željenog cilja mora se planski i racionalno gazdovati na svim nivoima. Odstrel ne sme biti cilj, već svrha očuvanja i postizanja optimalnog broja divljači u lovištu. Neophodno je istaći da se može odstreljivati samo realan prirast, ato će se postići ako je prolećno brojanje, kao mera utvrđivanja matičnog fonda, maksimalno realno. To je, često, uzrok nerealnog odstrela koji dovodi do katastrofalnih posledica. Lovne osnove i planovi gazdovanja moraju maksimalno objektivno uvažavati sva činjenična stanja na terenu. Osnovni planski dokument je "Program razvoja lovstva Republike Srpske, za period 2010.-2020." koga je usvojio Lovački savez Republike Srpske. Pravilnim gazdovanjem i implementacijom planskih dokumenata u praksi mogu se postići željeni rezultati, da divljači bude dovoljno, da bude zdrav i da trofejna vrednost bude na visokom nivou.

A survey of the birth and mortality of European Bison (Bison bonasus bonasus L1758) conducted from 2000 to 2018 in two nurseries showed that the females in the first study group had the first mating at an average age of 42.54 months, with an interval from 23 to 84.5 months. The average age of the first mated females in the second study group was 31.67 months, with an interval from 39.5 to 66.93 months. The average time between calving for the first group females was 9.95 months, with an interval from 0.5 to 28.5 months. The calving interval for the second group was 8.53 months with variation from 1 to 32 months. The first group had a maximum of seven calves, while the maximum in the second group was 13.A total of 33 calves were born in the first group during the study period, 16 males (48.48%) and 17 females (51.51%), while 40 calves were born in the second group,16 males (40.0%) and 24 females (60.0%).The mortality rate in the first group ranged between 14.3 and 30.0%, with a mortality rate of males of 20 to 60% and for females of 16.66 to 50%. In the second group, the mortality rate was from 9.09 to 23.08%, for males 33.33% and from 11.11 to 25.0% for females. The results indicate that future studies should address greater attention to birth and mortality rates.

A group of dogs known as hounds is widespread and highly appreciated among the hunters on the Balkans. Hounds are referred to as hunting dogs that engage in loud pursuit of game along its trail. These dogs do not need to se the game in order to pursue it and begin to bark once they stumble upon game trail. First serious research along with zootechnical measurement was conducted in 1905, at which occasion three large groups of hounds that inhabit the Balkans were described. This undertaking provided a solid foundation for further research and standardization of certain hound breeds. Though a lot of field work and standardization efforts were undertaken since then, there are still groups of hounds not encompassed in previous research work that are well-spread on the field and frequently utilized as hunting companions. One of the variety among these non-standardized breeds are Bulgarian scent hound, which differ from described hound breeds by certain exterior characteristics. In this paper, processed and analyzed some of the basic exterior features of body and head of the Bulgarian Scent Hound. Measurements were performed in 21 males and 15 females of following parameters, the height at withers, back height, loin height, chest circumference, body length, head length, skull length, nozzle length, head width and nozzle width. The average height of males is 54.60 and female 51.73 cm. Head length of males, on average, was 23.95 cm and females 23, 53 cm.
