Hunt Description

In Croazia there are about 3,000 Eurasian Brown Bears, which is one of the world's highest densities. This large number of bears is due to the passion that the ex Yugoslav president Tito had for these animals, who, loving this type of hunt, had protected bears for 30 years.

This type of hunt is conducted at night, "over bait", near cabins where bears frequent regularly at night. The hunter shoots the bear indicated by the gamekeeper under moonlight. Shooting distance varies from 30 to 50 meters.

Success rate is 100% in March and November, 90% in April and October.

As in most Asian and European countries your hunting party will be accompanied by a local game keeper. You should give them a small tip like $10 or a knife.
