Turkey
Dreaming about a World Class Trophy? We will arrange everything and let you focus on your hunt. We have several hunts that will be guided by our professional team members:
Snow Stalking (1-3 hunters)
The hunt takes place in daylight hours in the endless rang-elands of eastern Anatolia (Erzurum) where the climate is severe and the flora very thin so food is scarce. In order to feed, wild boars are active in daytime and can be spotted from a long range. During these hunts we walk approx. 3 – 6 km per day in mountainous terrain. Following the approach, the largest alpha male trophy wild boar is spotted and shot. In case additional hunting permits allow, wolves and bears can also be hunted.
Wild Boar Drive Hunts
For our Wild Boar driven hunts, first we make sure that the area has not been used for hunting before. If it has, we do ensure that it has been rested for at least one year to ensure the quantity of available animals is sufficient to deliver a quality hunting experience. Our company seeks out the most wild boar populated area in Turkey and organizes only one drive hunt per year so the probability of shooting a trophy wild boar with over 20cm tusk size is 25%. According to statistics, the shooting is 30-45 wild boars between10 hunters within 3 days. Our driven hunts are full of surprises and we have recorded many trophy tusk sizes over 25cm, which is a record! At our driven hunts there are no weight, number or trophy limits for wild boars shot and we hunt in high visibility terrain rang elands.
Five days prior to the hunt, our guides check the area and track the wild boar activity in the region. The driven hunt takes place with our experienced beater staff and hound dogs especially trained for driven hunts. During the 3 days of driven hunt we use 12-20 beaters and 10-16 dogs according to the number of hunters every day. In the morning there will be two driven hunts. After the open air barbecue lunch, there will be another driven hunt in the afternoon.
Stalking and Still Waiting Hunts for Wild Boars (1-5 hunters)
Our guides will bait the hunting area 2 weeks before the hunt starts. There are bait places for every guest and the baits are widely distributed so that the hunting ground is not under stress. The approximate tusk size of trophies is 22.7 cm. Each day our guide will check the places where the baits have been placed. Our guides take their job very seriously and active bait points are constantly tracked then, according to the obtained information an approach plan is made.
Before the hunt gets underway, our guests are always taken for a test shoot. On hunting day the bait points to be visited will be determined. The hunt is not exhausting and every guest is assigned a 4 wheel drive vehicle, a driver and a guide. We always try to get as close to the bait points by car wherever possible then continue the approach by walking with the guide.
Night walks are approximately 2-3 km on flat ground. During this walk between 5 and15 bait points are visited and it is possible that you will be able to target anything up to 3 wild boars during these walks. Due to the well inhabited terrain that you will be visiting, it is almost impossible not to fire a rifle during the hunts we organize! The most important element is to stalk, so we kindly ask our guests to bring their silent shoes along with them. When a wild boar is encountered at the baiting area, our guide will set up the tripod and show the wild boar to the guest. Then the guest only needs to place his rifle on the tripod and shoot the wild boar. The night continues the same way by visiting other bait points. The wild boars shot during the hunt will be collected and prepared for the photo shoot the next day.
Our partner company owns the hunting grounds on the Mediterranean coast (in Fethiye and Bodrum). Here our guests can stay on luxury type gullets or yachts and combine their hunting period with a unique holiday experience, or arrive with their families and enjoy luxury coastal hotels to have an unforgettable beach holiday.
