Hunting History
Vlastnosti slovenského poľovníctva Táto krajina je domovom mnohých európskych predátorov. Nachádza sa tu viac ako 1800 poľovných revírov. Stráži ich polícia, zamestnanci lesnej samosprávy a poľovnícka stráž. Na to, aby sa človek stal poľovníkom na Slovensku, je potrebná trojročná príprava. Jeden rok je určený na teóriu a dva na prax. Uchádzač sa musí naučiť používať zbraň a mať o nej dostatok vedomostí, oboznámiť sa so základmi zoológie, mať znalosti z prvej pomoci a poľovníckej etiky, naštudovať si legislatívne akty. Cvičenie sa vykonáva v poľovnom revíri, priebeh je monitorovaný členom poľovníckej skupiny. Cena takýchto tried sa pohybuje od 500 € do 1000 €. Po ukončení výcviku je potrebné absolvovať skúšky: streľba na presnosť a teoretické testy. Po úspešnom odovzdaní dostane poľovník lístok, ktorý mu umožňuje kúpiť si zbraň (platnosť 10 rokov) a dáva právo poľovať. Poľovníci musia pri vstupe do spoločnosti platiť členské príspevky. Suma sa pohybuje od 30 € do 100 €, niekedy aj viac. Po zložení skúšky a získaní poľovného lístka musí človek požiadať poľovný revír o získanie preukazu. Doklad sa poľovníkovi nevydáva, je v lesnom hospodárstve a možno ho získať len na dobu poľovačky. Ak chce človek poľovať, musí poslať žiadosť o udelenie poľovného revíru do dočasného užívania. Zákon počíta s vyplácaním príspevku vlastníkovi pozemku za užívanie jeho pozemku.
