HUNTING TOURISM
B-H is also home to world class fly fishing rivers and hosts a rich population of bears, wolves, chamois, eagles and deer for wildlife observation.
Going from the town Bugojno to the west towards Kupres is a region called Koprivica. This enormous forest was once one of Tito's favorite hunting spots. The dense forest and lack of any human settlements have created a sanctuary for bears, wolves, deer, boar and a plethora of other wild animals. Hunting associations are very active in this region and there are many mountain and hunting lodges dotting the forest. Also Duboka Valley (deep valley) is a designated hunting area covered by thick spruce. Kalin Mountain is a popular weekend area for hikers and nature lovers. The Hunting Centre of Gradacac organises duck, rabbit, and pheasant hunts on 37,000 hectares of land. Every year in Gradacac there is an international plum fair and a literature fair, both very small and local, making it that much more enticing.
