Just got back from enjoying a hunt in Eastern Europe, Hungary. Stayed a week hunting the European Stag and Wild Boar. Very interesting country and beautiful forests, I was surprised at how rugged the area we were at was, very steep ravines! The Stags were scarce but they had a lot of wild boar. I used my standard, trusted weapon of choice, Blaser BockDrilling, which has large caliber 30-06, pushing 180 gr Swift A-frames with H4350, scoped with Swarovski 3-12x50 w/illuminated dot. I shot a yearling and two Keilers, or boars. Enjoyed the country, the food, and the hunting, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Photos actually don't do the steepness justice:


Typical small village:


The larger Keiler I shot, dressed out somewhere around 275 pounds:

Well, that didn't work out as planned, the rest.

Waidmannsheil!

Congrats on the hunt - great look boar there. I hunter for boar in Austria about six years ago with my father-in-law (who is Austrian) and got a respectable trophy. There is nothing like hunting in the old world!

Weidmannsheil Dom! It looks like you were in the Nortern part of Hungary (hills). Nice pictures.

Waidmannsdank!

Yes Mike, northern part, near Eger, which is about 2 hours NE of Budapest.

I remember hunting a hilly area in Northern Hungary quite a few years ago. I loved that place - LOTS of game, in particular pigs. The specific area I went to also featured Mouflon sheep and Red Deer. Great hunting.

Did you tour Eger Castle? And the town?

Allright Dom - driven hunt or "night watch"?
