The Hunting In Europe Thread

[Suera]

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?

In all these conventions usually go many European outffiters , but maybe not the best place.. The best place will be go to some European convention usually Germany has the best , followed by Spain. Here you will have hundreds European outffiters with better price

How hard is it to get on a cull type hunt. Not our version of a “cull” but rather “We need 50 more pigs shot”. Or should I just book a 3 or 4:day hunt and live with the consequences. Also better to just rent a rifle or go thru the red tape to bring in my own. I would be looking at a 7mm-08 or 30-06.

Nobody is going to warranty you 50 pigs in free range , although sometimes in some driven hunts they hunt a big number than this. If you only want pigs I recommend you book 3-4 hunts. Also you can go to some driven hunt that offer you the pigs + some of the other animals ( mouflon, roe, deer , even ibex)

Game Fair in Paris might be your best bet to see the most outfitters for what you are looking for. SCI has a handful from several countries as well, but will have many more African outfitters.

Each country has their own traditions but also history. That also makes each country unique and warrant their own adventures. I loved the UK for the different histories there. My fallow felt like being in Narnia. Spain has lots of critters, but as stated you'll likely focuses on just a few each time. France is a real treat, staying in a 600 year old chateau is just unbeatable.
