Hunting in Hungary is world-famous. The challenge is not to shoot a smaller roe buck too early. Just be patient, and you will find a big one. It is more like hunting rabbits more than hunting deer. So much fun!  Hunting is mostly done in the plains and farms which consist of farmland with high grass, sunflowers, corn, and orchards. There are lots of ditches and field edges. Marijuana grows naturally in Hungary. It is a weed and hunters will encounter it like any other weed you would find in a crop field.

You will drive to an area and then the driver will drop you and your guide off off to begin stalking (Europeans call hunting “stalking”). Shooting distances will range from 15 to 200 yards, but a typical shot is 100-150 yards.  Would you rather drive in the vehicle until you spot a deer and then stalk from there, or drive to a point and get out and still hunt until you spotted a deer to begin your stalk? We can set that up.

Hungary has Great Trophy Quality

You’ll be hunting mature roe bucks that are up to 7-8 years old. At a certain point, roe deer begin to either get larger and go non-typical, or the antlers can go downhill and start to get smaller. Hunters in Europe pride themselves on harvesting mature bucks that have character. Same as a whitetail, there are typical and non-typical scales for measuring the antlers.

*Hunter’s need to be forewarned and prepared for the ground shrinkage associated with hunting the roe deer. The first time you walk up on your harvest you will probably be under-impressed with the size of the deer itself. After a day or so of hunting this game though, you start to realize how awesome they are to hunt.

Make it a Combo Hunt

This is a natural combo hunt, you can easily add a boar hunt or driven pheasants on the side. Take our word for it…at least do a day of pheasant hunting. It is insane how many birds you will kick up in the fields.

Bow Hunting Roe Deer is Amazing

If you’re a bowhunter, we recommend you take your bow with you. The sheer number of roe deer in the area lends itself to one exciting day of bowhunting. It is literally one deer after another. Roe deer respond positively to calling during the rut, 15 July – 15 Aug, and the ability to spot, call and maneuver on a buck for the shot is a ton of fun.

Typical Hunt Itinerary:

Daily schedule was 5-9 am hunting and 5-9 pm hunting. Everything else was flexible (lunch, breakfast and dinner included).

Day Zero- The drive… We arrived… Ate dinner… Met the outfitter and received information for the following morning’s hunt in English.

Day one- Woke up… Moved to the dining room, met our guides and teamed up for the hunt. Typical load out was two hunters per guide and a driver for each vehicle. Our guide was apprised of our trophy choice. This should be confirmed prior to departing the base station.
– 3 bucks taken in the morning
– 2 bucks taken in the evening

Day two- Hunters that had already harvested their bucks went fishing.
– 3 bucks taken in the morning
– 4 bucks taken in the evening

Day Three- A trip to Budapest was organized for hunters that were finished hunting. Fishing was again available.
– 3 bucks taken in the morning

End hunting and begin close out procedures. Average of 3 bucks taken for each 4 hour hunting period. 15 Bucks harvested ranging from 455 Grams to 250 Grams. 100% of the party was happy with the hunting trip as a whole.

Day four- Ceremony held with staff and guides. European skull mounts for all deer brought and showed. Pictures taken, awards given etc. etc. Good times had by all. Many pictures and lots of video of this event.

Some of the hunting party departed that afternoon and some stayed. The group that stayed ate dinner on the town. Local food and beer was great and the locals in the area are used to outsiders being around. Abàdszalók is a tourist town and when you go in, it is filled with people from all over Hungary that are on vacation. There are several bars and at least 1 disco/club (with pool table) if you want to get your groove on.

Day five- We set up a 5 am departure. One of the staff members was there to help us get out on time and the kitchen crew made sandwiches for us the night before. We could have had a hot breakfast if we wanted and we did not have to depart at 5 am. That was our choice with the drive we all had ahead of us.
