Анотация: In 2002 a program for reintroduction of the Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica, Bolkay 1925) was initiated in Vitosha Nature Park. The capturing of chamois began in 2003 and three different methods were applied: immobilizing from a distance, using specially elaborated nets and using legholding snares. The first method was tested in the period of 2003-05. During the year 2003 two animals were captured, and in March 2004 - 4 chamois. There is one mortality case. As a result, there were altogether 5 immobilized chamois - 3 of them captured in the wild and 2 in specialized chamois enclosure. Vertical nets were used for the period 2003-2010 and with over 80 person days and no success in the wild. Subsequently the most successful method has proven to be the one of leg holding snares. Trap lines of leg holding snares were set for 515 trapping days between 2004 and 2009. Altogether 53 chamois were captured and 31 of them transported to the Vitosha Mountains. The current publication presents a general outline of the experience for minimizing the risk (for both objects and executors) and raising the effectiveness in the capturing of chamois for reintroduction. Our aim is to support conservationists, foresters, park rangers and others interested in the realization of similar projects
