Has anyone here hunted in the Czech Republic. I know they have Roe buck, but what other game is available. I am looking into a 5 day hunt.

If I remember correctly, mouflon is also available, and perhaps boar.

George

Red Stag are also available.

hey,
in the Cz you may find evrey kind of european game , but it�s hard to find them all in one place.
The (huntable) game that�s there to find is:
Roe�s
Red�s
Fallow�s
Sika�s !
Wild boars
Mufflons
and smal game like
pheasant
geese and duck too.

The CZ, is one of the best Mufflons area in Europe. But the biggest trophies where harvested in fenced area�s.
I think most of the US Hunters won�t have a problem with this,instead of much german hunters.
I was last year near Praha for a weekend (not hunting)in CZ, and took the chance to get a view on such fenced area,...this particular area was about 100 Ha by size(and not 1000ha as they tried to make me believe),..and you could see the fallows walking arround and calling (in Novenmeber they do have rut season)for the deers.
But to be honest, it�s not the kind of hunt i�ll apreciate.
they are used to humans (in this fenced area the house of the "game warden" was placed, so the game knows humans, and aren�t wild) (after my definition).
The Prices for hunts are not realy cheap...if u are interested in some information, you may like to contact a big european hunting office :
1) from denmark: www.diana.dk
2) from germany: www.kettner.de (kettner is something like cabelas).

Anyhow, the best chances on red�s and sikas and fallow stags are , when they in the rut.
The popular way to hunt stags in europe is with a guide on a stalk or from a highstand in the rut.
The rut is approx:
roes: June/july for roes
red�s : Okotber/september
fallows: Oktober/November
and
mufflones: November but better is December (if u lke a shoulder mount, the hair quality in december is better).

But the rut-season i gave u above may deferr in the different areas , depending on things like alltitude ( Praha is about 1300meters over normal 0) and weather.
Best weather for rut is: cold, no rain, and not windy.
When it�s get warm you won�t hear the stags calling...sometimes they won�t call at all.

If u like to hunt on stags, be sure to go there in the rut.
You can�t compare it to elk rut (which are whistel)..the european red stags do have an enourmous call.

I try to find a link...wait a minute....:

So take your time and try to imagine to hear tzhis out in the woods,..fantastic!!!
You never ever won�t forget a red stag rut!
It�s something like the best hunting adventure you can have in Europe.

Hey KSDuckhunter,
it wasn�t my intention to be unpolite or anything like that,...but a lot of people told me , that american hunters don�t have a problem with hunting in such fenced area.
Good to hear that u won�t hunt there too.

cheers

Konst, it seems we just have a misunderstanding. No big deal.

Just to set the record straight, there are some ranches in the US, particularly in Texas, that have high fences where game can't escape. The BIG difference is the area encircled by the fence. Those ranches in Texas can easily cover 40,000 to 50,000 acres (~18,000 to 22,000 Ha), sometimes a lot more. The animals there don't know they live behind a fence.
