    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    I've shot a few Coyotes with my AR180s and Bren 2's. I prefer bolt actions and lever rifles for the big stuff.

    The Hunting In Europe Thread

    A driven boar hunt sounds pretty fun, I'd buy something like a Merkel Helix for such a hunt.

    Where would the best venue be to meet and chat with several European outfitters? SCI? DSC? Any other similar upcomming conventions with a European focus?

    The Hunting In Europe Thread

    What I'm seeing here is that the big game seasons in europe are on for far longer than what I'm used to in Canada. Our typical big game seasons for deer, moose etc are only 2-4 week periods.

    The Hunting In Europe Thread

    I’m open to forest hunting but that’s mostly what I have here at home so some elevation would be a nice change. I’ve seen many of the hunts in Germany, Hungary, Czech, Poland etc seem to be more of a forest and agricultural field type hunt.

    The Hunting In Europe Thread

    What is the appeal of France? The multiple chamois? I’m picturing 3 separate trips to Europe. Western, Central and Eastern hunts. What would you say would be the top 3? I was thinking Spain - Austria - Romania.

    Thanks for those additions. As this forum's expert on hunting in Spain, what other countries are comparable in terms of game variety and overall adventure?

    I'll start with listing the common big game species in Europe and where they are found, not all are huntable in every country listed. Bovine European Bison (Poland, Slovakia, Sweden) Bears Eurasian Brown Bear (Slovakia, Croatia, Romania, Sweden, Norway, Finland) Sheep/OVIS Central European...

    The Hunting In Europe Thread

    I did a bit of digging and didn't come across many European hunting threads, especially in recent years. In terms of international hunting destinations I feel like many of us overlook Europe in favour of Africa and Asia. I'm hoping we can use this thread to provide a comprehensive overview of...

    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    Now I hope no one is offended by this but I've never had much interest in the Aoudad, I view them as an "ugly" sheep.

    Closed Door Hunts around the World.

    Yeah that would be the list of game that I'd be most interested in. Species that may be legal to hunt in countries that are open to international hunters, yet can't be imported back home.

    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    If only NZ had an invasive sheep that you could DIY hunt for cheap… Too bad there’s such a leap in price between the various mouflon and the next most affordable Ovis Species.

    Wow catching up to Dall sheep and Marco Polo prices.

    The Capra World Slam.

    That’s awesome. I just watched a video of in Alpine Mouflon hunt, it looked like a real mountain hunt, similar to what you would expect ibex in. The appeal of Romania from what I can tell are the Carpathian Mountains and the largest Chamois species. I guess aside from those they are known for...

    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    So upwards of half a million Canada to complete the slam. I definitely envy the guys that can accomplish that today but it is out of range for 95% of us. I could hunt every year for the next 30-40 years on that kind of budget, with international adventure hunts thrown into the mix.

    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    I’m guessing more and more North American hunters will opt for an internstional sheep hunt instead of hunting one of the domestics. Even guys that might already have a half slam today must be looking at the prices to complete the their slam and seriously consider Asia. Assuming you don’t have...

    Closed Door Hunts around the World.

    I would like to take something physical home that will act as a far better recollection of the trip than any photo album could. We are already prohibited from bringing any of the meat home (a shame) so the horns and hide are the next best thing.
