Bear Hunt in Croatia

In cooperation with a strong partner i Croatia for nearly 20 years now we can offer our hunters access to the best areas for brown bear in Croatia. The quality and success rate is high! Croatia has official recognition by CITES, so exporting the trophy is no problem. The population of brown bear in Croatia is growing, but we recommend early planning if you want to secure one of the state licences. The yearly, state culling plan contains especially old and large bears, but in our areas in Croatia we can offer you a guarantee not to exceed your requested maximum trophy size by more than +/- 15%. A good safety for your hunting budget!

Highlights

  • High rate of success
  • Croatia has a very large population of brown bears - the population is currently estimated at over 900 individuals
  • Many of our hunters return with a gold medal trophy
  • Really large bears are present in our districts - stipulate your maximum size before the hunt

5 days from $2,595

The hunt is done from comfortable high seats at baiting places, and you are at all times accompanied by a professional stalker, who with great certainty can evaluate the size of the bears (before the hunt you can stipulate the maximum size you want to hunt and the stalker must keep this within a tolerence of +/- 15%). There are many special bear high seats/baiting places in the district, and they are all being maintained/kept active all year round so chances of success are very high. The population of brown bear in Croatia is very good, and the state offers more licenses every year. Every year medal bears are shot and even gold medal are often seen. Gold medals start at 300 CIC point and one year even two new national records over 500 CIC points were shot by foreign hunters (in 2023 the national record is above 580 CIC points). You can also do spot and stalk hunting, but this form of hunting is less successful than hunting from the high seats.
