Abstract:The population of the wild boar (Sus scrofa) in the Czech Republic has been steadily increasing for the last 70 years. The only comparable tangible data are provided by the available harvest statistics. Disputes over the damage caused by wild boar are endless, and the dynamics of the species expansion have not yet been properly explained. The authors therefore present the harvest statistics as the only available data on which the wild boar population growth in the 20th century can be documented.
