The greatest losses in brown hare population appear during the reproduction period in winter season, since it is not possible to give a precise assessment of adult hare loss, this paper proposes its expression in coefficients. Losses during reproduction period are calculated as correlation of autumn headcount, bagged game, actual growth coefficient and spring headcount. According to results of our investigations, average losses in reproduction period range between 11.93% and 47.01%, or on the average annually 32%. Winter losses are calculated by utilizing the same parameters with the difference of spring headcount which has been included in this study in the following year. In order to determine more adequate and precise state of losses accurately, it is necessary to identify losses due to game wounding. Average losses between start of hunting season (October) and beginning of following reproduction period (March) range between 3.25% and 45.47%, or on the average annually 32% during 41-year period in the hunting grounds of Vojvodina. As losses are considerably bigger than in previous period (when they were approx. 20-25%), authors propose the acceptance of new losses value (32%) in creation of planning documents.
