Abstract
ABSTRACTAfter 2000 year was started to collect statistical data about number of wolfs (Canis lupus L.) in Bulgaria. The number during ten years period was above 2000 ind. (with maximum 2479 ind. during 2008). In our opinion these data are not correctly. According to our estimates, based on suitable areas forest area) in country, home range size of the pack (about 18.4 ha) established with radio-telemetry in Europe, in the country inhabit average 918 wolfs before opening of the hunting season and about 498 ind. after that. For one period of ten years 92.9–95.2 % of wolfs were shooting from October to March. From April to September were shooting from 4.8 - 7.1 % of wolfs. We propose one part of this six month period to be protected (for example April-June, when flocks don't carry out in the summer pastures). This protected period (without shooting) will be beneficial for species, without conflicts with local economics and society.
