Croatian Combo Hunt Report by Jason Kinyon

This was a challenging free range hunt and not a canned fence hunt. Very exciting. I landed in Zagreb and the outfitter was waiting for me at the airport. We then traveled to the bed and breakfast near Sinje where we would stay while we hunted mouflon sheep and Balkan chamois.

Jason Kinyon had an outstanding Croatia mouflon sheep hunt with our outfitter.

First, we headed out to hunt mouflon sheep.

The terrain was steep and the rocks were sharp. It was a physical mountain hunt. I saw lots of sheep…at least six rams before I found one that looked big enough to shoot. As we were preparing for the shot on a 70cm sheep a much larger 82cm Gold Medal ram appeared. The guides got me in a great position for a 275 yard shot which I executed.

The next morning we headed out for Balkan chamois.

We glassed for a few hours high on a mountain and spotted a shooter with several females. We made a very difficult stalk for several km and got into position for a 330 yd shot.

I used the outfitters guns and they were of excellent quality with the best optics. I made the shot and after a tough climb we were at my second trophy in two days. The next two days were cloudy with light rain so the outfitter took me sightseeing to Pula, Rijeka, and Krk. Very interesting couple of days. Fallow deer hunting is next…

The weather improved on my last day so we headed to Gregor's island for Fallow deer. I was able to harvest a deer in half a day to complete my trip.

The weather improved on my last day, so we headed to the Island of Pavnik to hunt Fallow deer. I was able to harvest a nice fallow buck in half a day to complete my trip. Three trophies in three days of hunting…outstanding results. I love hunting in Europe. Next up, Eurasian brown bear.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
