【 摘 要 】

Sportive hunting is an activity, which benefits of an increasing interest, worldwide. In this context, important regulations are implemented in the field at international level. The present study focuses the evolution of four most abundant game species taken care by the County Association of the Sportive Hunters and Fishers (CASHF) - County of Cluj, Romania, during a two years period. In the mean time, we aimed to emphasize the relationships among the occurrence of the studied game species (roebuck, wild boar, hare and deer). Basic statistics, one-way ANOVA and PCA analysis were implemented for statistical data processing, using STATISTICA v. 6.0 software. Three of four monitored specie, recorded positive very significant differences compared to optimum value (46.23 heads in roebuck, and 24.33 heads in boar, respectively), while deer stocks were also superior compared to optimum value (by 5.79 heads) but difference is statistically not significant. Hare is the single monitored game specie with lower average stocks compared to optimum (by 13.34 heads), statistically not assured at significance threshold of 5%.  PCA analysis shows that roebuck stocks are the most important game specie, followed by wild boar, hare, and deer. This hierarchy may be explained by the adaptability of the roebuck and wild boar species to the specific ecosystem conditions, and also to appropriate game management practices. The correlation matrix emphasize the relationships among the monitored game species, good tolerance between hare and deer species, and surviving competition among wild boar and hare.
