Abstract
The study aimed at evaluating the damage extent in two years (10 years increment) in the field hunting area localized in Lublin Upland. During the studied period, the extent of damages — taking into account the reduced area — was twice as much at only symbolic increase in the number of damages under liquidation. The percentage of damages to potato cultivations decreased from 54.9% in the hunting season 1999/2000 to 7.5% in the season 2008/2009 at the simultaneous increase in the number of damages to maize plantations 2.4% and 32.7%, respectively. Regardless of the evaluation time during the vegetation period, the largest intensification of damages was recorded at the end of May and at the beginning of June. The most considerable damages to potato also occurred at the end of May and in June. In the 1999/2000 season, 66.2% of all damages to potato fields were recorded at the end of May, whereas in 2008/2009 almost 60% of the damages took place in June. Over the evaluation period, the population of wild boars being the principal damage perpetrators (about 90%) increased by almost 2.5-fold, at almost 8-fold increase in hunting gaining of these animals. In addition, in the 1999/2000 season, the hunting exploitation of the population was at the level of 74.3%, whereas in the 2008/2009 season, it reached up to 241.7% of the catalogued population status.
