Just returned from a fun hunt in Romania
Hunted with F&M Cinegetaca.
Hunted in the Ineu area. Mix of hills and farm country. The rut was on , we saw quite a few bucks working. None that were huge but plenty of action while calling to them.
I did manage to take 3 bucks in 2 days of hunting

This was first buck i took.


Shot this one up in the hills the first evening

This one snuck up from behind while we were calling to another one

Had a great time after the hunt. Toured around the country. Lots of sites and culture, including 5 different bears

Thanks for sharing, looks like a great time!

That's great, I need to free up some time to hunt eastern Europe.

Mihai is a great guy to hunt with. A decent bloke. I’ve been boar hunting with him a couple of times.

Chris, Some good typical heads there well done!
I guess you were using their rifle - what was it? Also did you get to take the trophies with you straight away or do they get sent later on ?

Thanks for sharing.

The rifle was a CZ550 in 7 mm Mag. Quite a large caliber for that size animal.
I usually like my own rifles but with spending so much time after the hunt touring, i felt it was not smart.
A smaller caliber with a better scope would have helped. It all turned out fine though
I met 2 chaps from Germany there. They planned to shoot 20 Roe before they left.
They told me they loved hunting them and traveled to other countries just to hunt them more.

I did not bring the racks home with me. I did not leave them enough time to prep them. We flew to Bucharest right after the last hunt.
Had a great time in the country. They are about to have a real bear problem. Since they are not hunting them the population is getting out of hand.URL=https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/tt93/lozano5800/20230806_115556.jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds] [/URL]
Just one of the 5 we saw

Great bucks and rut season is the best times
Congrats

Just saw this! Well done Chris... Romania is a fun destination to hunt. Chased stag, roebuck and pigs there a few years back with bwanajay. Looks like some fine heads! You'll have to make a plan to go back for bear. I think they are hunting them in Estonia and Croatia now.
