Brown Bear Hunting

European Brown Bear Hunting in Croatia and Bosnia

European Brown Bear hunting in the mountainous regions of Gorski Kotar and Lika in the heart of Croatia is one to remember. The bear population is very stable, and we have access to the best European Brown bear hunting estates both in Croatia and Bosnia. We are offering places where Gold Medal European Brown Bears (over 400 CIC points) could be hunted regularly, and where each bear hunting estate holds a minimum of 2 tickets and a maximum of 15 tickets each season. Hunters typically hunt bears in the evening and under moonlight, from very comfortable 'en suite' enclosed high seats specially designed for this purpose.

Guaranteed Bear Hunts with Professional Oversight

Bears are monitored for a few weeks before guests arrive to ensure they appear regularly at feeding areas, making the hunt 95% guaranteed. Accurate shooting is essential, and the bear can only be taken when a clear shot is approved by the gamekeeper. A wounded bear poses a great risk and cannot be safely tracked during the night but is often retrieved the next day.

Croatia's Sustainable Bear Management Plan

The bear population in Croatia is dramatically increasing, and Croatia is currently the only country in Europe with a sustainable European Brown Bear Management Plan, featuring strict annual quotas and CITES export permits.

Luxury Hunting Experience in Croatia

We organise a 4-day, 5-night bear hunt in a comfortable 4-star hotel with sea views, excellent food and wine, and local entertainment in the port town of Senj. Transporting rifles to Zagreb Airport is straightforward, and CITES export permits for trophies are not an issue for shipping outside of Croatia. The airport transfer is less than 2 hours from Zagreb Airport to Hotel Libra in Senj. We require a 50% deposit at least 6 months in advance to reserve this hunt.

Combine Your Hunt with Other Game Stalking Adventures

This hunt can be easily combined with mouflon stalking on the Adriatic, Dinaric chamois hunting, or Dalmatian sheep hunting, all within 30 km of Senj. We look forward to welcoming you to Croatia soon.
