Brown hare in Serbia lives in various habitats although the best brown hare habitats are lowland areas and river valleys. Brown hare has successfully adapted to agroecosystems in agricultural areas. In the last two decades in Serbia a number of studies was conducted associated with the analysis of themanagement measures in brown hare population, which recorded some cyclic oscillations in population abundance, density,age structure and exploitationrate. These measures are key elements in management of wildlife population so their implementation should be enforced. Problems related to brown hare population management in Serbia arise because there are neither proper guidelines to determine hare hunting productive areas nor how to define the solvency and capacities of hunting grounds that are not adapted to newly created habitat conditions in certain hunting grounds. Methodology of conducting and defining the number of hare population in various types of hunting grounds does not match given habitat conditions. Taking into account various habitat conditions in hunting grounds of Vojvodina and central Serbia it is very important to define in a correct manner population spring abundance, population density, age structure and exploitation rate for the purpose of sustainable management in hare population.
