Trophy deer from Bački Monoštor 4.5 million dinars

At the “Hunting Trophies of Serbia” exhibition, Master Hall showcases 400 exhibits, including a stag from Bački Monoštor valued at 4.5 million RSD.

The exhibition "Hunting Trophies of Serbia" in Hall "Master", where more than 400 exhibits are on display, arouses great interest among visitors, as well as students, students and preschoolers at the Hunting and Fishing Fair.

According to the executive director for hunting, catering and fishing of JP "Vojvodinašuma" Branislav Stankov, trophies of five hunting species are displayed on a thousand square meters: red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, wild boar and roe deer, with more than 60 percent of the displayed trophies being exhibits of red deer because it is the most economically and biologically valuable species that is farmed. The most expensive trophy that can be seen is a deer from the "Kozara" hunting ground in Bački Monoštor, which is worth about 4.5 million dinars.

- This year, the largest part of deer trophies that have not been exhibited so far, as well as a smaller number of deer trophies from this year's Rika, which were shot during September of this year, although our hunting season is still in full swing and lasts until the beginning of October, are shown - says Stankov. - Trophies from other positions, from hunting lodges, are also displayed, and our intention is to have them be of an educational nature, to show in practice, primarily to high school students who study hunting, the parameters for selective hunting of game, how to manage hunting grounds.

We created a hunting classroom, where they have the opportunity to see deer according to various parameters, so this setting, apart from its affirmative character, also has an educational goal. We have not done this before, but due to the lack of trophies from this year's Rika, we created this segment. We are planning that in the coming years, all secondary forestry schools will visit this fair in an organized manner, as well as the students of agricultural schools who study hunting. In Hall "Master" we also have a display in which there are trophies intended primarily for students of the Faculty of Forestry and the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Novi Sad, as future hunting experts, and it is located at the training ground for visual evaluation of trophies. It will serve to see how much they have trained and learned, that is, whether they have a talent for evaluating trophies, because this is a skill that future hunting experts must master.

Also interesting is the display of 15 roe deer, which is located in a special exhibition panel, and is significant because the animals died in traffic accidents in the previous ten years on the section of road 134, between Kovina and Bela Crkva. On the 45-kilometer road, there is a critical section of about eight kilometers where accidents happen. Through the installation, we want to point out the problem of damage - due to injuries to people, the suffering of wild animals and that which occurs on vehicles.

This year, too, the visitors stopped to look at two deer that had crossed their antlers in the fight and could not untangle themselves and - that's how they died.

Range for night game observation

Branislav Stankov points out that JP "Vojvodinašume" has equipped a training ground for night game observation with thermal imaging devices. He adds that visitors who are interested in buying some of the weapons and equipment in Hall 1 or who have already done so can come to the training ground, because that way they can try everything in practice. They can also get advice and information from experts.
