Bosnia and Herzegovina, as few countries in the world, has, on a relatively small area, appropriate ecological conditions for survival and growth of different game species. These conditions, in relation to conditions in European countries, have not significantly changed by negative influence of humans, throughout history. Example for that is certainly the survival of population of large predators, bear and wolf in first place. bear management in Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition, achieving the best results through sustainable use of brown bear, for which we served as example in the world (Special Hunting District Koprivica). Infrastructure within hunting districts play significant role in brown bear management, especially feeding plots combined with enclosed stand. Those objects serve in purpose of bear count, control of yield in population, additional feeding, damage reduction and selection for culling. However, despite numerous feeding plots and stands as well, present situation is far from good. In this paper, we discuss present situation and measures for management improving.
