History of the association
The hunting association "Vepar" Orahovica was founded on July 27, 1947. years. The foundation had 18 members and managed a hunting ground of 4987 hectares. The hunting ground was located in the lowland part of the municipality of Orahovica. Pheasants, runners, roe deer and rabbits were hunted and were in abundance. At that time there was even an obligation for hunters to benefit states must shoot a certain number of rabbits. In addition to rifles, rabbits were also hunted with nets. The area of the hunting ground has increased to 6632 hectares of lowland hunting ground since 1962 by the decision of NOK-Našice and thus increased the number of hunters to 46.
