    How big is that bear? This price is that high because of the size of the animal. For a reference, I'm adding a picture with a gold medal bear (~310 CIC points) and a friend of mine near him. My friend is taller than me, ~1.90m. Well the bear from this offer is over 500 CIC points! That is big!

    I agree and I don't like this either. It was a time when regular people just hunted bears during driven hunts with no exceptional cost added. Then, the foreign hunters interest increased the price way over the budget of an average hunter. Now, with this ridiculous small number of licenses allowed, the pressure is even bigger. My hunting club has a license now and that was sold for 4000+Euros (to a member!)

    I could not tell if this offer is good or bad because is too much paperwork with a foreign hunter and this offer is also mixed with some tourist visiting &stuff. I just had a nice lunch (and few beers with some UK hunters in Reading) and I could understand now why are you surprised about the prices. In UK you could simply shot all the deer that are passing trough your property during the hunting season but in Romania, the state is the owner of the game and we have a fixed number of roe bucks to hunt for each hunting area. The average price for a Romanian hunter is 180-200 Euro/buck (

    A bear has no problem with any kind of fences. They are very good climbers. (many car accidents due to that, they are able to climb the fences that are used to block other animals from crossing the roads in some areas)

    ...new damage from this bear

    I post this for a friend of mine, an experienced hunter and outfitter from Romania who asked me to help him with one announcement about a last minute offer for a bear hunting. As some of you already know, bear hunting in Romania was stopped a few years ago and a combination of government incompetence and "green" NGO lobby is preventing us from reopening the bear hunting as it was before EU integration. This is happening despite the fact that they are doing great damage to the farmers and they are even killing and hurting peoples. In some special occasions (like too much damage done t

    Many, many things are completely changed since then. You could buy anything you like, all you need to do is to be healthy and work in order to have the money for it Back then it was just one shooting/hunting magazine (with content approved by the party, of course ) The 2 males are quartered, frozen and labeled. After my flight back home, I will cut the best parts for myself and the rest will be sent to a butcher for salami. The fact that they had almost no fat is very good and allows us to keep them longer in the freezer.

    After the end of the last driven hunt season, I had 2 individual permits remaining. They are valid until 14 May and I had enough time to stalk for at least one big male. Since it was no hurry, I started to hunt in the mountains because we could always find a big solitary male in the huge forests. They are not afraid of wolves and even a bear will think twice before attacking such a male because it has great armor, it is very strong and it has 2 sharp knives. Such a male will rarely go down from here and they are rarely responding to baiting. You need strong legs and time to spend in the

    I'm in Swindon until April 17. Anyone around for sharing some beers and some hunting stories?

    The driven hunt season for wild boar is ending in Romania (allowed until last day of this month), I had some great hunts and I managed to shot 3 piglets in total. No big boar in my scope at driven hunts but my "luck" does not surprise me To be honest, I had a 3 years old male boar in 25m from me but the slug was diverted by a tree branch and he went away. 2 of my piglets. Small but tasty It was not the case for my friends, a nice season for most of them... A gold medal boar hunted by a gamekeeper 2 weeks left, hopefully I will have

    Driven hunting is not only about big game in Romania. Well, in my case it is, I spending most of my time in the mountain areas but once in a while I will also go to a small game hunt. This time I had a very bad weather with temperatures bellow -7 degrees Celsius and a constant wind (which will make it worse). Here we could see the beaters at big distance from us... ...and here me with one of my hares. 2 shot, 2 missed by me. We have big problems with hares on most of the hunting associations due to a mixture of factors (modern agriculture, poaching with G

    2 great boars from the last weekend - 200+ kg and a young one of ~ 150kg. The boars from mountain areas are smaller but the breed is pure and the tusks are usually bigger. Nothing on my name, I had 2 close encounters with bears (a small one and a really large one - more than 450 CIC points) but they passed trough without making any problems. We also had great dogs with us (sadly, not in the picture)

    Anytime I think that I will fly to UK sooner (my employer is about to sign a new contract with an UK partner)

    This one was hunted by an old hunter at a driven hunt in an area next to the one I'm hunting. It is no additional cost for members

    2-3 drives, depending on results, weather and terrain. We could never do 9-10 shorter drives because the dogs will chase wild animals at large distances. It is not a rule that the biggest boars are shot at night because those are very careful (is easy to hunt a boar at feeding points but is not so easy to hunt a big male. I had to wait for more than 6 hours in cold weather for such a large male once) . I will search some pictures with big tuskers hunted in driven hunts but my gallery is huge

    ....and yes! The technical issue was generated by some sort of content limit for a post. Could be this increased?

    16.09, evening, 'Molidis' - The first roar is early, 07:09 PM. When the sun goes down, 2 females and a calf are showing in the clearing at ~140m, close to an apple tree. After a while a young male is also exiting the protective forest. He had decent antlers for his age but it was in a bad physical shape (too weak for this period of time, we also discovered later some strange things on kidneys and lungs) and I received the permission to shoot. I would normally wait for a better position and to come closer but the wind was changing and the oldest female was already alerted. I take the shoot

    09.09, evening, "Boburi" - The weather is too warm. The group of males splitted in search for females. I was able to see a group of 6 roe deers 15.09, evening, 'Molidis' - wind and some rainfall . I decided to spend the night in an abandoned cottage there because a young stag was roaring despite the bad weather. The gamekeeper tried to provoke him but he scared (he was too small). At 03:00AM I see a 2 years stag. It is very cold in the morning and I manage to "sleep" 10-15minutes from time to time on a broken door. I could not sleep more because I could clearly hear some bears eating

    Back to my reds... The story of the first one: Just to avoid the mistakes from last seasons, when I had troubles trying to remember the details of the hunt in the correct order, I started to keep a journal. It was a good decision! I requested a permit from the first day of the season, despite the warm whether. The association was concerned that the meat will be damaged (this is an important sourse of income if is a large animal) so I promised them that I will buy it. The hunting area was new for me (and for the gamekeeper) and it was a mountain area. I prepared my trip by taking mul

    I try to post the story for the first stag but I'm receiving the same error as at the roebuck topic... What is the problem? Is any limit for the message length or what?

    L.E. Is not difficult to prove the impact of wolves on other game species if we are comparing the natural increase of population for deer and boars from our country with the one from countries with no large predators (yes, we also need to consider bears and lynxes) . The harvest is smaller in our country and this is because they are eating young animals... We had a camera at a feeding point for boars and a saw had 7 small piglets. After a while only 5. Then 4, then 2...

    They prefer to hunt boars, especially if is a year with less snow (a red stag will be more difficult to catch if they could run free). A boar male will be very difficult to hunt due to his armor,stamina and sharp tusks but a saw or a piglet will be a delicious dinner (they are eating almost everything, only the skull and the backbone will remain) Keep in mind that they are very intelligent and great opportunists ==> they will eat anything if they can, weak or strong (that image with the wolf as a great "doctor" of the forest is just a delusion of the romantic ecology We need wolves b
