Abstract

Due to the lack of clarity in the hunting legislation regarding the provision of hunting grounds for use and payment for them, the prosecution for poaching, the procedure for issuing shooting cards, the state price policy in the sphere of use, reproduction and protection of hunting resources is ineffective and hinders Ukraine s transition to market-based European relations. This situation leads to a loss-making sector (payback in Ukraine does not exceed 50\xa0%) and a decrease in the reproduction rate of most livestock species in comparison with European countries. Hunting is an integral part of the public use of natural resources. For the most part, it is a painstaking, high-cost process for the proper quality of habitats, breeding, and other resources of game animals, in other words, creating an appropriate (where required) quality level of their range. In addition, it monitors the resources of game animals, namely their quantitative and qualitative composition, assistance in the fight against diseases, severe climatic seasonal events, etc. The article explores approaches to determining the fee for special use of hunting grounds and the mechanism of payment. The authors have noted basic conditions of effectiveness of the proposed method. Hunting resources include animal resources, products of their livelihoods (within hunting grounds) and hunting products. They are the main object and, at the same time, the resource of the hunting economy, however, the high level of poaching, the corruption of the hunting industry, the imperfection of the regulatory framework, insignificant protection measures and the lack of an elementary culture of hunting have a negative impact on hunting resources. The improvement of the negative situation will help facilitate the normative base of the hunting economy, which would become an instrument of Ukraine s transition to sustainable development of this sphere of management. As a result of the conducted research we found that it is worth analyzing more carefully the future users of hunting grounds for their mission of management, experience, and innovative solutions.
