Has Anyone hunted Slovenia

[Altitude sickness]

My wife and her sister are currently visiting relatives in Italy. They will eventually visit Phil Giordano's shop in Rome at the end of the visit.

Today they are in Slovenia doing the tourist thing. Now I’m wishing I went along. Maybe next time.

So, what is a must do in Slovenia. They will not be hunting. I’m sure my niece is a great tour guide in Slovenia. But any other suggestions ?

I asked here if they had trout fishing or not. Have not heard back.

I have just returned from hunting in Slovenia.

Not hunting - Ljubljana, Lake Bled are the two biggest stops. Triglav National Park is very nice. That's where I hunted, it has something for everyone. The Kranjska Gora area of the park is just beautiful.

The streams have Brown and Rainbow trout, the lakes have those and others.

Thanks for the response. What were you hunting. The river in the picture above looks like it would hold trout

Went to Slovenia to hunt Chamois, but added on a Roe. I was in Croatia to hunt Red and Fallow.

I have a report posted. Slovenia is really an outdoor paradise. It’s not Switzerland, but neither is the pricing.

Croatia/Slovenia Hunt.



This year while at DSC, besides obtaining Tanzania hunting information, I was also looking for a European hunt too. I PM’ed @mark-hunter and he supplied me with some agent’s names for hunts in Croatia. There was a hunt that WTA was offering, but it was sold out before I could compare with the outfitters that Marko sent me. I picked a hunt from an Agent in Slovenia – Pasat d.o.o. (The owner [Jozef] is an interesting guy. He graduated as a veterinarian, taught veterinary medicine at the University in Ljubljana for 8 years, received a Ph.D. in Fisheries and then...

Slovenia is one of the few countries you can hunt the Alpine Ibex. I'm sure they have mouflon and chamois as well.

I should have went my wife and sister in law . They are now in Florence today and head to Rome tomorrow. They will meet up with Phil while in Rome. Hopefully we can plan a hunt for the next trip.

I met a couple from Slovenia a few years back. Very much an outdoor activity oriented country and culture. They wanted me to visit for trout fishing. I haven’t made it and suspect fishing there is a very “organized” affair. It seems the country is promoting all manner of tourism. The rivers look very appealing for fly fishing- similar to any large trout water here. They have a very unique variety of trout called the Marble or Marbled trout. Biologists, IIRC, believe that spp or sub spp or race to be a long isolated form of brown trout. Just google search “Slovenia marble trout” for info.

While I did not fish with this guy, I would suggest that he would be an excellent fishing guide for Slovenia. Pasat d.o.o. (The owner [Jozef] is an interesting guy. He graduated as a veterinarian, taught veterinary medicine at the University in Ljubljana for 8 years, received a Ph.D. in Fisheries and then spent 24 years as Director of Fisheries for Slovaina.)

I have a neighbor who was just in Slovenia fly fishing for a week. He said the trout fishing was fabulous along with grayling. Had some wonderful pictures of nice size browns, rainbows and marbled trout. The marbled trout looked like a brown without the red spots on their flank

Oh my goodness! I had preliminary plans for Slovenia… then covid. Now other must-do priorities. Still dreaming

I've never played the tourist in Slovenia but I'm told there is great hunting opportunities in the area. I'm hunting just over the border next month in Croatia, basically just over the boarder in the South East of Slovenia. We have a party of guns going on a 3 day hunt that is driven wild boar shooting.

I'm interested to hear what there is in the area as I'm arriving a few days early and plan to do some touring in Croatia and Slovenia myself.

Please write up a hunt report on your driven boar hunt, that is one hunt high up on my wishlist

You could add a pheasant hunt to this (one day or more), if having a spare time. Not far away.

Good hunting, looking fwd to your hunt report!

My wife and sister in law have made their way from Slovenia with a stop in Florence and today visited with Phil Giordano at his shop in Rome. And picked me up a nice gift.

When i was at Lake Jasna a guy was fishing caught some nice rainbows and brown trout. You can only fly fish there but plenty of fish in those lakes and rivers. He was showing me photos of some monster trout he got in Sava River.
