CROATIA: European Brown Bear & Roe Deer

Very good to know. Thank you. That will have influence on my decision between Croatia and Romania.
 
Excellent write up and pics.... as usual.

"Never were a pair of 50 Euro notes better earned."

Looking at the terrain in the background with the bear laying next to the skidder, sounds like you got a bargain alright!
 
Great report, thanks for sharing. On the bucket list.
 
I thought I had commented, but apparently not. That is a stud of a brown bear and beautiful roe bucks. Congrats to all on a wonderful trip!
 
@Red Leg
I will join this party with late comment, as I was hunting north of the country last few days.

When I saw this thread on mobile phone, I decided I will read it with peace and pleasure over a morning coffee on my laptop when I return home! So, I did, this morning

As expected, you travel with style, from day 1 in Hotel Esplanade down to Dubrovnik, a great trip across the country.

I would also add, this is the best time for such a trip, because in early season the grass, the crops and foliage are still low and rare, and visibility is the best there is for roe deer, while in the same time the tourist and historic landmarks are not crowded with visitors.

Whole heartedly I congratulate you on very fine hunt, and fine shooting!
And even more congratulations for the fantastic bear taken by your friend Rick
Outstanding!
 
Excellent report and very interesting photos. Croatia does look like an interesting, must see sorta place.

That log skidder definitely came in handy too!
 
Congratulations on a successful journey and hunt. A special “high five” to your friend! That must have been a real treat for him.
 
A little curious what type of ammo you used that the limb defected.
 
Really opened my eyes to European hunting destinations. Also, having a pro taking care of the details is comforting as well! Thank you, Sir!
 
Your comments regarding WTA put me at rest because I booked a Greenland hunt with them for 2027.
