The areas around Sinj and the Cetina region are rich in flora and fauna thanks to the untouched nature and geomorphological diversity. The highlands of Sinjsko polje and the forests of the surrounding mountains are traditionally popular hunting grounds.

For many years, the Sinj Hunting Association (Lovačko društvo Sinj) has been faithfully managing the hunting areas and game populations. This includes breeding, protection as well as preservation of - especially endangered - animal species in order to maintain the ecological balance. The hunting club improves hunting training and educates club members and residents on newly developed hunting ethics. The association is involved in the breeding of hunting dogs, organizes hunting exhibitions and sports competitions, such as hunting archery. Furthermore, it is responsible for the guard duty on the hunting grounds, for implementing hunting rules and regulations as well as managing game populations.
