Rutting season

Hi everybody,

Sorry for the huge delay in posts. Work has been taking up much of my time.
Rutting season has finally started again and I'm as ready for it as I could ever be. Have been researching the stags for a few days now and with a bit of luck I'll find mine soon.

Will keep you updated!

Hunting in Hungary for a fixed price

The maximum of 5 hunters has been reached. Therefore there are no more vacancies as of this moment. I'll keep you posted on the results during the coming season.

Come hunt in Hungary

If there's anyone who would like to come hunting here please mail or call me. I'm not a hunting agency based on profit. If you want to join me for a hunt just let me know. I'll do my best to get you the best deal possible. If you're lucky it might even be free (this depends on culling and pest control regulations at that moment)!

Just let me know.

Roe buck hunting season to start on the 15th.

Roe buck season starts in 2 days and already flocks of hunters have come to Hungary to shoot there first of the season. I personally don't hunt them yet as I think it's still to early. I think the latter half of May is better to start hunting them.
Anyhow the new season has really started now! I hope I do better than last year!

Webcam in Estonia

I found this great web-cam on a feeding area somewhere in Estonia. I've seen quite a lot of game turning up here. Check it out.

Happy spotting!

Woodcock season

It's that time of the year again!
Probably my favourite bird to hunt, the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola). There fast, small and there damn hard to hit.
Unfortunately Italy messed things up as far as hunting for woodcock goes. They have some kind of really old tradition there involving catching them with nets that makes hunting them almost impossible in the rest of Europe (WTF...). However we are allowed to shoot a limited amount every year. 16 for this year.
I was out this evening but no luck. We hope to be more lucky during the next week as the weather changes and we get some more moonlight.

I'll keep you posted.


UPDATE: I've got 3 so far. Totally missed about 5 though. Damn there fast! Because we hunt them in small openings in the forest there's only about 2 or maybe 3 seconds in witch to shoot them.

Almost stuck

Hunting means going off-road and going off-road means getting into trouble every now and then.
We had about 20 cm of snow and I set off to do feeding area's with my Mazda B-2500 4x4. I have never been stuck with the Mazda. I've had a Daihatsu Feroza and it was a disaster, the damn thing wont get trough anything! (TIP: get a 4x4 with a long wheelbase, it makes a huge difference!) Anyhow, there's a point where I have to turn the car around and go back. This is where the trouble came. Look what I did:

 

Please note that the ground is frozen.

The car actually went sideways like a crab. But I got out after about 10 minutes of messing about, lucky me.

The hunters ball 2010

Every year we have a ball at the start of the new season. Lots of food and even more drink!
I hadn't been before and boy have I been missing out! We had a great time and way too much to drink!
Here's some pictures:
