Unbelievable one day hunt!

The outfitter was very organized with great equipment and knowledge. I thank Outdoors International for putting me on another awesome European hunt. I’ve been on two European hunting trips with Outdoors International and have harvested 2 Gold and 2 Silver Medal animals. Great results.

Arrived at a nice hotel with an excellent restaurant in a small mountain town in Croatia by a lake. We had a nice lunch then got ready to head out for the evening hunt. We arrived at a meet location in a small village. There we left with a local forestry official who would act as my guide for the brown bear hunt. We then drove to a cabin in the forest.

We set up in an elevated hunting blind overlooking a bait site and settled in. At dusk bears started to come to the bait. In 30 minutes we had 3 large brown bears feeding within 30 meters. My guide evaluated them and picked the bear that fit my budget. I then waited for the right moment and touched off the shot harvesting a 330 SCI Gold Medal Eurasian brown bear.
