Trophy quality in hunted ungulates in northeastern Slovakia (Cetartiodactyla). Based on the data from trophy hunting statistics (1997–2019), this paper describes changes in the potential economic trophy value evaluation of hunted ungulates (PETV) by comparison of two groups of areas, (1) the hunting grounds with wolf protection (since 2014), and (2) the hunting grounds without wolf protection. In both groups of areas in the long-term aspect (1997–2019), the value of PETV had an increasing trend in the roe deer, wild boar, and red deer. Since 2014, in the areas with wolf protection the average value of PETV was at the level of 249 €/year/km2 (SD 69 €/year/km2) and in the areas without wolf protection, it was 185 €/year/km2 (SD 8 €/year/km2). Since 2014, in the areas with wolf protection, the mortality did not affect the PETV trend, but in the red deer a significant fluctuation in PETV values was observed compared to the previous period. Since 2014, in the areas with wolf protection, a qualitative increase in the value of hunted red deer trophies was registered, in almost all C.I.C. categories above 170 points.
