I was intrigued by the hunting report in the latest SCI newspaper. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions? or comments. Thanks

Maybe like most other commercial bear hunts? You get a high seat, and a bear that has been fed att that place for half a year? 99% probability of killing a bear? Nah... that is nothing for me.

Chuck6565,
HerrBerg considerations are real, that is the kind of hunt made in Romania, where I have contacts with the best Hunting Agency.
ALL animals hunted are gold medals, and this can be only making this kind of hunt.

There is the possibility to make a dog beating hunt, but in Bulgaria.
Email me for more info

Thankyou for the information. I would not like sitting in a stand over bait. I did not know that was method of hunting.
I would prefer to spot and stalk if it is possible. What is the size of the bears in Rom and Bulg in feet squared?,not,
skull size? By the way,our bears in Oregon are black bears.
we dont have grizzely or brown bears. There are quite a few of them but on the average not too big. Any more info on Brown bear hunting in europe or even western russia would be appreciated. Thanks Chuck

Stefano,
You are fully right, one can find big big bears. Ceucescu's record remains valid and fairly uncredible.
Boghossian, I think the trill is hindered by the provided comfort. You can be sure to succeed. But remain the environment and the chase fully apart of every other hunts.
Reading you debating about the carpathian deer I observe that the rage is mostly with the bulgarian deer. Never mind, these deers are the same specias as the european deer save Scottish and Corsican ones.

I think bears in Oregon are far bigger. My question is how bring the hide back. If I am not mistaken, in Europe, should you live in a bearcountry, no way to bring any hide or mounting.

An anecdote about Ceucescu, the ex-dictator in Romania. To be extra-sure to shoot only big bears at the feeding-places, he made put in heightened feeders. The bear must stand on and this way is easy to estimate compared with the height of the feeder.

jbderunz,
don't understimate Romanian and Bulgarian bears, they are not so little compared with N.A bears.
I remeber a photo where a 8x42 Leica bino were in a frontal Bear paw.
It was an over 340 CIC points bear and the bino seem a toy.
Sad stories Ceausescu's hunts, I know.
There is no problem in having trophies, there is only to wait the Cites docs.
By my opinion there are two problems when we speak of this hunt:
1) you are in a royal blind, near a cottage, at about 80 meters from a feeding place silently waiting to shoot at the right bear. Not too much exciting.
2) the skin treatment make the skin smaller then the original. I know a hunter that thought to be frauded with a skin exchange. He still doubt about the trophy, even if he could compare the photo and the skin, where were pointed out that a lot of particulars were absolutely equal.
