Abstract
Hunting tourism is a special (selective) form of tourism and an integral part of hunting, and it is implemented with efforts to preserve and regenerate its main motive and resource (hunting grounds and game populations), at least to the extent defined as simple reproduction. It brings a significant share of revenue to the hunting sector, which is mainly focused on the improvement of habitat conditions, as well as the production, breeding and protection of game and a to a smaller extent on the construction and maintenance of facilities for the accommodation and board of tourist hunters. Hunting is an important recreational, sporting and touristic activity characterized by the potential presence of various safety risks, which can cause injury and even accidental death of participants in the hunt and their hunting dogs, but also of other persons, and cause damage to property in the hunting grounds and beyond. Data suggest that almost every year in Serbia one death is caused by hunting firearms during hunting.

Summary
Hunting tourism is a special (selective) form of tourism that includes the movement of tourists motivated by specific interests (game hunting), or movement and active stay of tourist hunters in a specific natural environment called the hunting ground. Hunting tourism is a complex human activity of special social and economic interest, aimed at planned and sustainable hunting permeated with the spirit of humane and chivalrous attitude towards game and nature in general (Šelmić et al, 2001, Prentović, 2006, 2008, 2014). Hunting is the oldest human activity that goes on ever since the origin of man It has been changing through ages, both with regard to the character of motivation (from the primary activity enabling the survival of man and the entire social groups, representing one of the important forms of economic activity, until the present time when it is on the one hand a recreational hobby and on the other an activity focused on the production, protection and planned rational use of game), considering the means and methods of game hunting
