Exploring Bulgaria, a hidden gem of European hunting tourism

In Bulgaria, Montefeltro beckons its hunters to a land teeming with both big and small game, offering a diverse array of hunting experiences throughout the year.

Nestled between the majestic Rhodopi Mountains and the shimmering Black Sea, Bulgaria’s varied terrain provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable hunting adventure. Here, amidst the dense forests and rolling hills, hunters can pursue a wide range of game species, each offering its own unique challenge and thrill.

Venture into the heart of the Black Sea forests for the chance to stalk wild boar, whose formidable tusks and imposing stature make for impressive trophies. From the vantage point of a high seat, hunters can await the perfect opportunity to take down these majestic creatures, their keen senses keeping them on constant alert.

During the rutting season, the forests come alive with the primal calls of red deer, their majestic antlers glistening in the dappled sunlight. It’s a time of heightened anticipation for hunters, as they await the chance to encounter these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Bulgaria is characterized by a diverse ecotone perfect for feather hunting with dogs

For those seeking a truly unforgettable experience, the banks of a large lake offer the opportunity to hunt wolves and fallow deer, their sleek forms moving stealthily through the underbrush. Whether from a high seat or through the art of stalking, this is an experience that will stay with you long after the hunt is over.

As autumn paints the landscape in a kaleidoscope of colors, the woodcock hunter will find paradise in Bulgaria’s expansive woods and scrub coasts. Here, amidst the rustling leaves and whispering winds, the elusive woodcock awaits, offering a challenge that tests the skills of even the most seasoned hunter.

And finally, atop the rugged peaks of the Rhodopi Mountains, the king of the forest, the capercaillie, calls out to his harem with a mysterious and haunting chant. It’s a scene straight out of a fairy tale, where hunters can immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of nature while experiencing the thrill of one of the most captivating hunts imaginable.
