Game hunting

Game may be hunted by a hunter who has a valid hunting card and previously issued written permission of the hunting authority, and game can be shot by a hunter who, in addition to the above, also has a valid weapons license for holding and carrying weapons for the purpose of hunting.
Hunting cards for citizens of the Republic of Croatia and foreign citizens are issued by the Croatian Hunting Association.
A hunting license is issued based on a certificate of passing a hunting test, i.e. a certificate of qualification as a hunter, and for foreign citizens based on proof of meeting the conditions for hunting according to the regulations of the country they come from.
Artificially bred birds of prey may be used for hunting. A person who uses birds of prey in hunting must have a falconry card in addition to a hunting card.
The falconry card for citizens of the Republic of Croatia is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture based on a passed falconry exam.
