Poaching is defined as illegal hunting of wild animals without permits, restrictions and ethics, most often for the need of meat, or profit. Except large wild animals, birds are hunted for their beauty, singing and meat. Data on the types quantities and methods of suffering wild animals were collected from the Central Hunting Records, annual reports from the Međimurje Police Department, and also from a questionnaire, and the use of literature sources. The survey was conducted at 15 hunting grounds in Međimurje County where poaching is present within 2016 to 2021. According to the results, the respondents are aware of the problem of poaching in the hunting grounds they manage. The most common species to be poached is roe deer with wire traps that are set up on the trails that the wild animals passes through, and the reports to the police are in smaller numbers than the actual situation. About 1,000 wire traps are collected annually in hunting grounds. Apart from intentional poaching, a common problem is the non-recognition of species, which protects protected species, mainly ducks and geese. In addition to poaching, wild animals significantly and largely are suffering in traffic.
