Just back from an incredible hunt in Poland and Romania. This is my second hunting trip to Eastern Europe and it never fails to impress me. It has to be one of the greatest values in International hunting today and it's 100% free range. On this trip we hunted in the footsteps of Kings and Dictators! Romania's Plains of Socodor, were for nearly 600 years, the exclusive hunting grounds of kings and then dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. They only opened to hunting for the public in the 1990s. Only about 50 hunters a year get to hunt trophy fallow deer now and we consider ourselves blessed to have experienced it. Quite literally thousands of fallow deer from as far away as Austria descend on the 10 kilometer long area to rut and the sights and sounds are amazing. The closest thing I can equate it to is the caribou migration on the tundra of northern Canada.

TJ, can you give us a bit more information on the hunt? Sounds like a great trip.
Who was the outfitter, what type of connections to get there, how was the language barrier, and maybe most important; were you able to take your own gun?

It was booked through Adrian Skok at Global Sporting Safaris. It was really affordable. Romania and Poland represent the best value in international hunting in my mind today. Yes, you can take your own rifles. Getting to both countries was pretty simple. There's several flights a day from Frankfurt or Munich. There was a bit of a language barrier in the field but in all camps we had an interpreter in camp. I'll post some more pics

Looks like you had a great hunt and nice trophies. A buddy and I hunted with HuntRomania in the middle of September for stag, boar and roe deer. An inexpensive hunt and a fun, successful trip. Lots of bang for the buck in Europe!

Well done!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Great report.

There are many good places to go in the eastern block. It very affortable and one gets good treatment. I was Lucky here last year to go hunt in eastern Poland. These Guys were actually english speaking. It does a lot when communication work. If Africa closes one way another I will go out there from there on. It take me 14 hours here from Denmark to drive out there. I could take an airplan to Warsaw and get picked up, but if carrying more than one rifle its easier by car. Particular if one or two comes along.

First Congrats to your Nice Fallow Trophys.
Socodor is truly a Magic Place and a World Class Area to hunt Fallow Stags. Annually the shoot not less than 300 Male Stags there. There is a migration to Gyula Hunting Ground on the other side of the Border with Hungary but there is no way a Migration up to Austria with is 400 Kilometers away.

We were told that Austrian bucks have shown up there....doubt it's a full migration for sure but 400kms isn't that far for a deer.

our local red deer population was doing a migration from spring summer to fall winter places and if it was 200km that will be the max.

Some of the most remote red stag hunts are in Karpathian mountains
That’s my next

I looked up some of the pricing and it is indeed a very good deal. I like the idea of the Carpathian Mountains for red stag.
