For gamekeepers
Management plan, game tags, harvests, reports and ground members — the gamekeeper's agenda from the spring plan to monthly returns, in one app.
Managing a ground is more than hunting.
HUNTERRA covers the gamekeeper's agenda under the Czech Hunting Act (No. 449/2001 Coll.): the annual game management plan with approval and fulfilment tracking, tag records from stock to use on a harvest, harvest entries with everything the authorities require, and the official Mysl reports built straight from your records. Ground roles control who may issue tags and approve plans, and the gamekeeper gets the ground map, trail cameras and drones on top.
Duties of the gamekeeper and the ground user — and how to manage them
In Czechia the hunting-ground agenda follows Act No. 449/2001 Coll. on hunting and its implementing decrees. Some duties fall directly on the gamekeeper (§ 35), some on the ground user — but the gamekeeper must ensure that the duties connected with game management and hunting are fulfilled (§ 35(5)), so in practice both end up on their desk. Four areas that take the most time — and what the app does with them.
- § 35(4) and § 36 of Act No. 449/2001 Coll., Decree No. 553/2004 Coll.
Game management plan
What the law requiresThe ground user draws up a game management plan every year; the gamekeeper is entitled to prepare the draft and co-sign it with the ground user's representative. The decree prescribes the form templates.
How the app handles itYou keep the harvest plan by species, sex and age class in the app — with approval and ongoing fulfilment against actually recorded harvests.
- § 49 of the Act and § 25–29 of Decree No. 244/2002 Coll.
Game tags and their records
What the law requiresEvery piece of harvested or found usable hoofed game must be tagged immediately with a non-removable tag. The ground user issues tags to hunters against signature and keeps the record of them; at driven hunts the gamekeeper may arrange the tagging.
How the app handles itYou stock tags, issue them to members, and each one keeps its own history — from receipt to use on a specific harvest.
- § 35(5) and § 36(4) of the Act, Decree No. 553/2004 Coll.
Harvest records and returns
What the law requiresThe monthly plan-fulfilment return is submitted by the ground user by the 5th day of the following month (Mysl 8 template); the gamekeeper keeps the harvest records and prepares the statistical returns.
How the app handles itHunters record harvests right in the field, even without signal. The app builds the reports from the records — nothing is retyped into forms.
- § 35 of Act No. 449/2001 Coll.
The gamekeeper and ground members
What the law requiresThe ground user must propose the appointment of a gamekeeper, who keeps records of the ground's management and harvested game, prepares reports for the authorities and maintains the prescribed registers.
How the app handles itRoles in the app — including the Gamekeeper role — decide who issues tags, approves plans and sees the whole ground's agenda.
The gamekeeper's year
How the season unfolds under the Czech Hunting Act and its decrees — and what the app does for you along the way. The management year runs from 1 April to 31 March.
- Date set by the authorityMysl 7
Game count
The ground user counts the game every year on the date set by the state hunting authority and reports the result in writing within 5 days.
How the app handles it: Count results feed the plan — the app builds the Mysl 7 report from your records.
§ 36 odst. 1 zákona č. 449/2001 Sb.
- 1 April
The management year begins
The game management plan is drawn up for the management year from 1 April to 31 March of the following year.
How the app handles it: You set up the new season's plan in the app by species, sex and age class.
§ 1 odst. 1 vyhlášky č. 553/2004 Sb.
- By 25 AprilMysl 1Mysl 4Mysl 6
First parts of the plan
The breeding and harvest plan for hoofed game (Mysl 1), the game care plan (Mysl 4) and the hunting dogs plan (Mysl 6) are drawn up.
How the app handles it: The app builds Mysl 1 and Mysl 4 from your records; the dogs plan is still kept outside it.
§ 2 odst. 4 písm. a) vyhlášky č. 553/2004 Sb.
- Once drawn up
Plan approval and tag issue
The plan goes to the ground holder — no reply within 15 days counts as consent. The approved plan is sent to the authority, which then issues the tags (up to 30 % above the plan).
How the app handles it: The plan moves through draft → awaiting approval → approved, and you stock the issued tags.
§ 36 odst. 3 zákona a § 27 vyhlášky č. 244/2002 Sb.
- By 25 JulyMysl 2Mysl 3Mysl 5
Second parts of the plan
The plan for small game (Mysl 2), the plan for other game species (Mysl 3) and the driven hunts plan (Mysl 5) are drawn up.
How the app handles it: The app prepares all three reports from the same records as in spring.
§ 2 odst. 4 písm. b) vyhlášky č. 553/2004 Sb.
- Monthly, by the 5thMysl 8
Plan fulfilment returns
The ground user submits written monthly returns on plan fulfilment, by the fifth day of the month following the month in which hunting took place.
How the app handles it: Mysl 8 is built from the harvests recorded during the month — nothing is added up by hand.
§ 36 odst. 4 zákona č. 449/2001 Sb.
- All year round
Harvests, tags and origin slips
Every piece of harvested or found usable hoofed game is tagged immediately with a non-removable tag; tags are issued to hunters and recorded by the ground user.
How the app handles it: Hunters record harvests in the field even without signal, and every tag keeps its state and history.
§ 49 zákona a § 25–29 vyhlášky č. 244/2002 Sb.
- 31 March
The management year ends
The management year closes; only for wild boar piglets and yearlings and for wild turkey does the plan run until 24 April.
How the app handles it: You watch plan fulfilment against real harvests all season and export the lists to PDF.
§ 1 odst. 1 a § 2 odst. 3 vyhlášky č. 553/2004 Sb.
Mysl reports built from your records
The app prepares reports following the templates of Decree No. 553/2004 Coll. from what is already recorded — plans and harvests are never retyped into forms. These are Czech statutory forms; other countries have their own rules.
- Mysl 1 – Breeding and hunting plan, cloven-hoofed game
- Mysl 2 – Breeding and hunting plan, small game
- Mysl 3 – Hunting plan, other game species
- Mysl 4 – Game care plan
- Mysl 5 – Driven hunt plan
- Mysl 7 – Game census
- Mysl 8 – Monthly report
Records are kept in the web app at app.hunterra.eu, where the tables and exports have room to breathe.
On paper, or in the app?
The same duties, twice the work. On the left, how the agenda is kept by hand; on the right, what is left of it in HUNTERRA.
| Duty | On paper | In the HUNTERRA app |
|---|---|---|
| Harvest plan | A form, last year's numbers copied over, a round of signatures. | A plan by species, sex and age class with approval right in the app. |
| Recording a harvest | The harvest book in the lodge, copied from slips and notepads. | The hunter records it in the field, even without signal — it syncs later. |
| Game tags | A notebook and a box, stocktaking by hand. | States stocked / issued / used and a history for every tag. |
| Monthly returns | Adding up the harvest book into the Mysl 8 form by hand. | The return is built from the harvests recorded during the month. |
| Official reports | Copying the same numbers into more forms. | Mysl 1–5, 7 and 8 from one record, exported to PDF. |
| Who may do what | Habit and verbal agreement. | Ground roles with permissions — from the gamekeeper to guest hunters. |

The gamekeeper's glossary
Terms that keep coming up in the agenda — with the regulation they come from.
- Gamekeeper (myslivecký hospodář)
- A person appointed by the state hunting authority on the ground user's proposal. Keeps records of the ground's management and harvested game, prepares statistical reports and maintains the prescribed registers (§ 35 zákona č. 449/2001 Sb.).
- Management year (hospodářský rok)
- The period from 1 April to 31 March of the following year for which the game management plan is drawn up (§ 1 odst. 1 vyhlášky č. 553/2004 Sb.).
- Game management plan
- The ground user's written plan of how the ground will be managed; drawn up every year in parts on the Mysl forms (§ 36 zákona, vyhláška č. 553/2004 Sb.).
- Mysl reports
- Forms Mysl 1 to Mysl 8 from the annexes of decree č. 553/2004 Sb.: breeding and harvest plans, game care, hunting dogs, driven hunts, count results and the monthly fulfilment return.
- Game tag (plomba)
- A non-removable tag applied immediately to every piece of harvested or found usable hoofed game (§ 49 zákona). The authority issues it to the ground user once the plan is approved, up to 30 % above the plan; the ground user hands tags to hunters against signature and keeps the record (§ 27 a 28 vyhlášky č. 244/2002 Sb.).
- Origin slip (lístek o původu zvěře)
- A document accompanying harvested game: it carries the tag number, the ground, the date and hour of harvest or find, species and sex (§ 26 vyhlášky č. 244/2002 Sb.).
- Game count
- The ground user's yearly duty on a date set by the authority; the result is reported in writing within 5 days and feeds the plan (§ 36 odst. 1 zákona).
- Hunting permit (povolenka k lovu)
- A document anyone hunting carries alongside the hunting licence (§ 46 zákona). Issued permits are registered by the gamekeeper (§ 35 odst. 5).
Gamekeepers' frequent questions
- Is HUNTERRA suitable for a gamekeeper?
- Yes — besides features for hunters it has a dedicated gamekeeper agenda: harvest plans with approval and fulfilment, tag records with states and history, harvest entries with everything the authorities require, the official Mysl reports, and member roles. Records live in the web app; field entries come from members' phones.
- Which official reports can the app prepare?
- Reports following the templates of Czech Decree No. 553/2004 Coll.: Mysl 1 to Mysl 5, Mysl 7 and Mysl 8 — from breeding and harvest plans through driven hunts and game counts to the monthly return. They are built from the records you already keep in the app.
- Which regulations does the gamekeeper's agenda come from?
- From Czech Act No. 449/2001 Coll. on hunting — § 35 governs the gamekeeper, § 36 the game management plan and § 49 the tagging of harvested game. The plan form templates are set by Decree No. 553/2004 Coll., tags and their records by Decree No. 244/2002 Coll. (§ 25–29).
- How does the app track game tags?
- Every tag has a number, a state (stocked, issued, used) and a holder. The gamekeeper stocks tags, issues them to members against a record, and a used tag stays linked to its harvest — the trail is complete and stocktaking happens over a list, not a box.
- Can a whole hunting club run on the app?
- Yes. You invite members with a numeric code and assign each of them roles with permissions — from the gamekeeper through the game warden to guest hunters. Roles, not habit, decide who may do what; the number of members is unlimited.
Plans for gamekeepers and clubs
Besides plans for individual hunters, HUNTERRA has a separate group of yearly plans for running a ground — Free, Basic, Premium and Komplet.
- A separate plan group next to hunters' plans
- Yearly payment per hunting ground
- A detailed feature comparison is in the pricing
