Besides being a beautiful place to visit, Croatia offers an exciting range of hunting possibilities not be found many other places in Europe. One of the best values in all of Europe is fallow deer hunting in Croatia. The majestic fallow deer possesses exquisite palmate antlers, a unique feature predominantly observed in the male population, setting Dama dama (European fallow deer) apart from other species of antlered game, with the exception of moose.
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. The methods employed in fallow deer hunting involve the art of stealthy stalking and patient waiting. Utilizing rifled-barrel firearms, hunters aim to deliver precise shots with a minimum bullet weight of 9 grams (140 grains).
