I wonder if Ukraine has any bear hunting available
At least in western part along borders with Romania, Slovakia and Poland
It’s gotta be thick with them

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Romania has a good number of bears but I think the seasons are still closed. You should check with Marius Merutu at huntromania.

Plenty going on in Slovenia - quota of 200 was planned for this year - had a rather succesful season until greenies jumped the wagon.

Bears are regularly hunted by foreign clients here - an outfiter with good connections is a must.

Here is one from some time ago:

Brown bear 1

And a more recent one - we were checking baits and all of a sudden this guy showed up...ne fear of man whatsoever - might get tricky when he grows some:

Brown bear 2

And here is (probably) the biggest bear shot in Slovenia ever - it was shot this spring by an Austrian client:

Romania is overrun with Brownies.
If you drive by car overland through the lowlands of Transylvania it is common to see Bears not far from the Road early evening or morning.

That last bear is a fantastic trophy.

I don't see it in the posts, but what about Croatia. As I understand it from a friend over there, there is some excellent brown bear hunting in the northern part of country.

Croatia also has some great bear hunting in the Lika and Gorski Kotar - these parts are connected with Slovenian south parts and I am quite sure the big bear on the pic was regulary crossing the border with Croatia - bears like this have a huge living area

...and then there is Bosnia - maybe the best there is.
In former Yugoslavia Tito was hunting bears mainly in Bosnia (Bugojno). As far as I know there is still good bear hunting there, however a good trusty connection is a must, since things changed quite some after the war.
