    A picture sent to me by a friend who organizes nice wild boar hunts

    The driven hunt season for wild boar is ending in Romania (allowed until last day of this month), I had some great hunts and I managed to shot 3 piglets in total. No big boar in my scope at driven hunts but my "luck" does not surprise me To be honest, I had a 3 years old male boar in 25m from me but the slug was diverted by a tree branch and he went away. 2 of my piglets. Small but tasty It was not the case for my friends, a nice season for most of them... A gold medal boar hunted by a gamekeeper 2 weeks left, hopefully I will have

    Driven hunting is not only about big game in Romania. Well, in my case it is, I spending most of my time in the mountain areas but once in a while I will also go to a small game hunt. This time I had a very bad weather with temperatures bellow -7 degrees Celsius and a constant wind (which will make it worse). Here we could see the beaters at big distance from us... ...and here me with one of my hares. 2 shot, 2 missed by me. We have big problems with hares on most of the hunting associations due to a mixture of factors (modern agriculture, poaching with G

    2 great boars from the last weekend - 200+ kg and a young one of ~ 150kg. The boars from mountain areas are smaller but the breed is pure and the tusks are usually bigger. Nothing on my name, I had 2 close encounters with bears (a small one and a really large one - more than 450 CIC points) but they passed trough without making any problems. We also had great dogs with us (sadly, not in the picture)

    Anytime I think that I will fly to UK sooner (my employer is about to sign a new contract with an UK partner)

    This one was hunted by an old hunter at a driven hunt in an area next to the one I'm hunting. It is no additional cost for members

    2-3 drives, depending on results, weather and terrain. We could never do 9-10 shorter drives because the dogs will chase wild animals at large distances. It is not a rule that the biggest boars are shot at night because those are very careful (is easy to hunt a boar at feeding points but is not so easy to hunt a big male. I had to wait for more than 6 hours in cold weather for such a large male once) . I will search some pictures with big tuskers hunted in driven hunts but my gallery is huge

    ....and yes! The technical issue was generated by some sort of content limit for a post. Could be this increased?

    16.09, evening, 'Molidis' - The first roar is early, 07:09 PM. When the sun goes down, 2 females and a calf are showing in the clearing at ~140m, close to an apple tree. After a while a young male is also exiting the protective forest. He had decent antlers for his age but it was in a bad physical shape (too weak for this period of time, we also discovered later some strange things on kidneys and lungs) and I received the permission to shoot. I would normally wait for a better position and to come closer but the wind was changing and the oldest female was already alerted. I take the shoot

    09.09, evening, "Boburi" - The weather is too warm. The group of males splitted in search for females. I was able to see a group of 6 roe deers 15.09, evening, 'Molidis' - wind and some rainfall . I decided to spend the night in an abandoned cottage there because a young stag was roaring despite the bad weather. The gamekeeper tried to provoke him but he scared (he was too small). At 03:00AM I see a 2 years stag. It is very cold in the morning and I manage to "sleep" 10-15minutes from time to time on a broken door. I could not sleep more because I could clearly hear some bears eating

    Back to my reds... The story of the first one: Just to avoid the mistakes from last seasons, when I had troubles trying to remember the details of the hunt in the correct order, I started to keep a journal. It was a good decision! I requested a permit from the first day of the season, despite the warm whether. The association was concerned that the meat will be damaged (this is an important sourse of income if is a large animal) so I promised them that I will buy it. The hunting area was new for me (and for the gamekeeper) and it was a mountain area. I prepared my trip by taking mul

    I try to post the story for the first stag but I'm receiving the same error as at the roebuck topic... What is the problem? Is any limit for the message length or what?

    L.E. Is not difficult to prove the impact of wolves on other game species if we are comparing the natural increase of population for deer and boars from our country with the one from countries with no large predators (yes, we also need to consider bears and lynxes) . The harvest is smaller in our country and this is because they are eating young animals... We had a camera at a feeding point for boars and a saw had 7 small piglets. After a while only 5. Then 4, then 2...
  16. biriuck
    They prefer to hunt boars, especially if is a year with less snow (a red stag will be more difficult to catch if they could run free). A boar male will be very difficult to hunt due to his armor,stamina and sharp tusks but a saw or a piglet will be a delicious dinner (they are eating almost everything, only the skull and the backbone will remain) Keep in mind that they are very intelligent and great opportunists ==> they will eat anything if they can, weak or strong (that image with the wolf as a great "doctor" of the forest is just a delusion of the romantic ecology We need wolves b

    Until a few years ago this was possible. Now is very hard to get a permit based only on damage done to the shepherds. Let's say that a small pack will kill 20-30 sheep in one attack, until you will obtain the permit to hunt them, they will be far away (they are traveling 30-50km in one night and are not staying too much in one area) . A few years ago it was possible to shoot them at driven hunts (with a disciplined hunter and a big amount of luck) or at bait (one of their kills or another animal - they like the dog meat ) This is a wolf hunted 2 years ago by a friend of mine, a bi

    Thank you Yes this is still possible in Romania mostly due to the fact that more than 1/3 of the country is in the mountain area and the intensive agriculture is hard to implement. Also we had a good policy for managing the big predator species (keeping them small but not eliminating them) and they helped us to maintain vigorous populations of red deer, roe deer, chamois and wild boars. Now this is in danger due to over protection (some "green" propaganda group managed to obtain this under the pretext of some stupid EU legislation created long time ago when EU had no country with big

    My vacation is over - finally I managed to hunt a small wild boar on a driven hunt (and I also missed 2 foxes ?) and I was able to hunt my first fallow deer. The rut season is at his peak in Romania and a friend of mine just told me about this opportunity. After to splendid mornings of stalking, I finally had a chance to take a shot to this male. It was a moving target and I had to shot trough a small window in the dense forest. The male was hit in the chest (close to the right leg) and I recovered the projectile from the skin, near the tail. Despite this, he managed to raise again

    I subscribe to that. I learned alot while searching our mountains for this animal. In the first year, I obtained the hunting permit too late (near the end of the rut season) due to the fact that we had many foreign turists and none was available. At the end of the rut season and after it, they are retreating to the high pastures in order to recover the lost fat. Due to that, the effort to track them is intense (but is somehow compensated by the view) I managed to see a stag but my lack of experience was decisive and I was unable to shot. In the next year I had no luck. Is

    In Romania, the wild animals are not the property of the land owner. The wild animals are the property of the state. The hunting associations will win the right to administer well delimited hunting areas (from min 3000 ha in the plain areas up to min 10.000 ha in the mountains). I'm a member in 2 different ones. This one has ~30 hunting areas with almost everything (from quail and ducks up to red stag, bears and chamois). You could also "hunt" in a fenced area. The animals from there are not under the hunting law and they are the property of the land owner. Both of them are wild anim

    After 3 unsuccessful seasons, I managed to shoot my first rest stag male (a "selection" - a selection is an animal that is injured, sick or has the signs that will never produce a good quality trophy) ...and, after some more work, a trophy I'm happy equally for both of them I promise to also write the story for this hunt in the next days (most probably after my vacation is over)

    I have a new one It is very very simple, so simple that I'm somehow reluctant to call it a "recipe" You need to hunt a red stag male (it is not important if is in the rut season or not) and take the heart and the liver. I suggest to also take the kidneys but they are for the one that could handle a dish with "flavor" ?. Burn some charcoal or even some dead wood on the field and cut the heart and the liver in long slices, 1 inch thick, and rub them with salt before throwing them to the grill. Be careful to not overcook them and remember to also have some wine or brandy. It

    I have some more pictures and stories but I'm unhappy because I'm unable to post the text for 3 pictures posted before....
