Driven hunt near Villány
On the 13th of december 2009 I was invited to a driven hunt near the famous Hungarian wine district of Villány. The area we were hunting in looked promising and we after some basic instructions we set of to our allocated spot (by draw).
After the drive started we were confronted by 5 fallow deer stags They were no more than 20 meters away. The largest of the group was at least 3 kilo trophy weight. That's a very nice specimen! Unfortunately for me this hunt was purely for wild boar. Plus I haven't saved up enough money to shoot a fallow deer stag of the calibre...
The morning session was not very productive for me. The only wild boar I saw was a nice one but to fast for a decent shot. In the afternoon we moved to a different area and waited for something to happen. We saw many red deer and roe deer running past us, but yet again, this was a wild boar hunt. At about 14.30 hours my luck changed and out of nowhere a wild boar came charging towards me and it had no idea of what was to come. From about 40 meters I shot it in it's back and it dropped.
Often one will shoot more during a driven hunt but to me one is enough to go home with a smile on my face.
A great day!
