Eurasian Brown Bear Hunt Report by Jason Kinyon
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 two Gold and two 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 three 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.
- Overall, hunting in Europe amazing, I couldn’t have asked for more.
- My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more.
- My guide was amazing.
- Physically, the trip was easy.
- The food and accommodations were amazing.
- My Outdoors International consultant’s communication before, during and after the trip was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more.
- My consultant was very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to.
- Would you book another trip with us in the future? Yes, I will be booking again. I’ve been on two European hunting trips with Outdoors International and have harvested 2 Gold and 2 Silver Medal animals. Great results.
