Concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) in the liver and kidney of red deer and wild boars, and pheasants` liver were investigated. A total of 127 individuals (33 red deer, 67 wild boars, 2 hares and 25 pheasants) hunted in twelve Serbian regions were investigated. Median concentrations of metals (mg/kg w.w) in liver and kidneys of game ranged as follows: In red deer, Cd:0.03-0.49 and 0.03-3.00, Hg:0.01-0.02 and 0.01-0.06; In wild boars, Cd: 0.03-0.96 and 0.48-6.84; Hg:0.01-0.03 and 0.02- 0.32. There were higher concentrations of Cd and Hg in wild boar organs compared to those in red deer organs (p<0.05). Registered Cd level in pheasants was within 0.11-0.95. Mercury concentrations in pheasants were below the detection limit of 0.005 mg/kg.
