POLAND: ROMANIA: Eastern European Adventure

[sheephunterab]

Just back from an incredible hunt in Poland and Romania. This is my second hunting trip to Eastern Europe and it never fails to impress me. It has to be one of the greatest values in International hunting today and it's 100% free range. On this trip we hunted in the footsteps of Kings and Dictators! Romania's Plains of Socodor, were for nearly 600 years, the exclusive hunting grounds of kings and then dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. They only opened to hunting for the public in the 1990s. Only about 50 hunters a year get to hunt trophy fallow deer now and we consider ourselves blessed to have experienced it. Quite literally thousands of fallow deer from as far away as Austria descend on the 10 kilometer long area to rut and the sights and sounds are amazing. The closest thing I can equate it to is the caribou migration on the tundra of northern Canada.

Incredible trophies! A trip to Poland for Fallow, Red Stag and Mouflon is a dream hunt!

Our trip actually began in Poland.

Sheephunterab,

Who did you hunt with in Romania for this fallow hunt? Thanks

 

[Ridgewalker]

Congratulations! Some awesome trophies!

 

[Shootist43]

Great trophies, don't know why I didn't comment sooner. BTW if that is Mrs. Sheephunterab, you are a lucky dude!

 

[Troubleshooter]

Wow -- looks like you had an incredible hunt! Congratulations.
What was your experience regarding taxidermy and trophy export?

 

[Pheroze]

Wow, looks awesome! As I learn more I realize that the reason for the cold war, and that Wall, was most likely to conceal such great experiences from the west. All that other noise was clearly just a distraction

Very nice trip, the more I read about Poland and Romania the more it creeps up the bucket list. Who did you book your hunt with and do they also offer boar hunts?

Those are amazing photos and I am so wishing I could get that many Fallow Bucks in one trip. What an adventure. Thank you for sharing. How did you set this up and get to hunt the property?
