Although natural conditions in Serbia are favourable for red deer (Cervus elaphus), their abundance is at an unsatisfactory level. The unfavourable red deer abundance is demonstrated by a nonuniform distribution of populations per individual regions in Serbia. The increase in red deer abundance is required not only from the ecological aspect, but also because of the economic component of sustainable hunting and rural development in Serbia. The process of red deer re-introduction to its natural habitat is complex, therefore it has to be conditioned by scientific and research activities and by the adequate preparations. The assessment of habitat biological carrying capacity is one of the preconditions for the correct red deer re-introduction. The purpose of the research is to enable a more objective and reliable estimation of the hunting site quality for red deer, as well as the base for etiological study of red deer migrations. This paper analysed the conditions for red deer re-introduction to natural habitats in the area of Beljanica – Crni Vrh in the hunting ground Homolje near Ţagubica. Taking into account the high diversity of forest vegetation, hunting ground Homolje is a suitable area for red deer growing.
