Other native Central and Southeastern European species include red deer, wild boar, roe deer and Eurasian brown bear, as well as numerous species of small game such as pheasant, waterfowl, quail, woodcock and hare.
Fallow Deer Hunting in Croatia
The alluring grandeur and selfless nature of the fallow deer trophy mesmerizes enthusiasts, becoming a source of pride for every avid hunter. While the optimal time for pursuing these regal creatures is in the month of October, coinciding with the rutting season, successful hunts can also be accomplished during subsequent months.

Utilizing rifled-barrel firearms, hunters aim to deliver precise shots with a minimum bullet weight of 9 grams (140 grains).
