vadászhatóak

In Hungary, the term *vadászhatóak* refers to animals that are legally permitted to be hunted under the country's wildlife management and hunting regulations. These regulations are governed by the Hungarian Hunting Act (*Vadászati Törvény*) and related decrees, which outline protected species, hunting seasons, methods, and licensing requirements.

The list of huntable species varies by region and is determined by local wildlife management authorities in consultation with environmental agencies. Common huntable animals include deer species such as red deer (*Cervus elaphus*), roe deer (*Capreolus capreolus*), wild boar (*Sus scrofa*), and various bird species like pheasant (*Phasianus colchicus*), partridge (*Perdix perdix*), and wild duck. Smaller game such as rabbits (*Oryctolagus cuniculus*) and hares (*Lepus europaeus*) are also typically included.

Hunting is regulated to ensure sustainable populations and ecological balance. Seasons for hunting are set to align with natural breeding cycles, usually opening in autumn and extending into winter, though specific dates vary by species. Restrictions apply to certain areas, such as nature reserves or protected habitats, where hunting may be prohibited or limited.

Licensing and permits are mandatory for legal hunting. Hunters must obtain a hunting license (*vadászengedély*) from the local hunting association (*vadászszövetség*), which requires proof of training, knowledge of regulations, and adherence to ethical hunting practices. Additionally, hunters must follow strict rules on weapon use, bag limits, and reporting requirements to prevent overharvesting.

The classification of huntable species is periodically reviewed to reflect changes in wildlife populations and conservation needs. Protected species, such as certain bird species or mammals, are excluded from hunting lists to safeguard their populations. Violations of hunting regulations can result in fines or legal consequences, emphasizing the importance of compliance with wildlife management laws.
