LHeym5008 work days to Bulgaria
I work one Saturday in there, but the excitement is finally here.
Becca and I will leave out on October 10, 2019 for Cincinnati and be on a Delta flight for Charles De Gaulle To Paris. There we will spend a 2 1/2 lay over at De Gaulle (one needs every minute of it to get through that Inferno Hell). Then an AIrFrance ride to Sophia, Bulgaria.
The trip will end with a 4 hour vehicle ride to Red Stag and Mufloun.
I have been shooting pretty well. Thank you Matt Detrorre.
Win or lose does not matter. 7 days of being in cool, alpine weather with a rifle in my hand. My wife with me after a safe trip is all I ask for. Everything else is just everything else.

30.06kingSounds cool. Free Range, Estate, or both ?
Some pics of the Mouflon country would be appreciated, if possible.
Best of luck on your hunt.
Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

larryshoresI did this hunt about 20 years ago. Bulgaria is a bizarre place. The contrasts you will see, at least we did back then, was pretty wild. I vividly remember the bomb shelters.
The agriculture was most impressive. Corn and sun flowers.
I didn’t get a stag. We were the victims of a highly unusual heat wave. It was over 100 in the shade. Should have been in the 40’s.

Thank you guys. I have been planning this trip for the better part of 2 years.

bwanamrmGood luck... I really enjoy European hunting and the tradition surrounding it. So far I've done Spain, Scotland, Croatia and Romania, would love to hear your thoughts on Bulgaria. I hear they have some of the largest stag on the continent.
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!

LHeym500Guys and Ladies:
Wife and I are setting in the Intercontinental Bar in Sophia having a celebratory drink.
The hunting was hard from a physical standpoint. The travel logistics were rough. However, everyone bent over backwards to make this enjoyable.
We fly out tomorrow at 500 am local time. In the days to come, I will give a full report. I have a lot of office fires to attend when I get back.
In sort, the trip was satisfying.

LHeym500We arrived late last nights in N.KY. The plane out of ATL was delayed three hours on a four hour layover. Our bags did not make it on the plane. We drove home last night.
I drove back up this morning to pick up the bags. They are suppose to be here at 1:41.
