Antilope Hunts

Hunting for antelopes is in a class of its own, and in comparison with the cost of hunting European game, it is actually a very affordable hunting form, even though it takes place in Africa, with all the exciting experiences that brings with it.  At the same type you can be almost certain of returning home with a really nice selection of trophies and a wealth of great memories.

Big Game Hunts

Big Game Hunts doesn’t just mean hunting big animals, it also means big challenges and experiences. Technically speaking most hunting in Africa is actually Big Game hunting. Even many species of antelope are considered to be true big game animals. But first and foremost it is The Big Five, that spring to mind when one talks about big game hunting. Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinocerous, can all still be hunted in Africa, although only very few licenses are issued annually for the latter annually. Unique to West- and Central Africa are hunts for species such as the Bongo, forest buffalo and the Giant Eland which is also a full-blooded big game animal. Hunting for both The Big Four and the big game animals in general can be carried out with an absolutely clear conscious, as well managed hunting means than far mor animals will be saved from poachers, than will lose their lives to trophy.

Mountain hunts are challenging when measured under any parameter. You will be challenged both physically, mentally and technically. At the same time it is difficult not to fall under the spell of the mountains harsh but magical beauty.

It is certainly true that many of these trophies are only found in some of the world’s most inaccessible corners and are rather expensive, but it is also certainly possible to try your hand at mountain hunting at a price level that by far the most hunters can afford. Europe can offer a number of different mountain ranges, the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathian and the Tatra Mountains.

Driven Hunts

Driven Hunting is probably the most intense hunting and wildlife experience you can imagine. A line of beaters drive the game forward towards a line of waiting guns, making sure that then arrive in front of the hunters. Driven hunts are also one of the most challenging technically, posing a great text of the hunters marksmanship skills. Preparing well on your local shooting range is often the key to a successful driven hunt. Countries such as Poland and Hungary play most to most of the driven hunts in Europe, as over decades they have succeeded in creating a wonderful setting for these hunts, which are carried out here with great professionalism.
