These hunts come standard at 5 days (x10 outings) with a total of x5 morning and x5 evening outings. Greet your guide each morning & afternoon at the lodge and hunt for Red stag often using a combination of spot & stalk and calling tactics during the roar. It’s a very exciting time to be in these forests! Some hunts are conducted from high-seats or blinds in strategic areas, dependant on scenario and circumstance. Physically the terrain is not difficult to traverse, and is seen as a gentlemen’s hunt.

We generally encourage clients not to bring personal firearms from home, especially if wishing to do any tourism while in Europe before or after the hunt. Each guide in Poland has a proven quality rifle always available for clients to borrow + ammunition at $250 for the duration of the hunt. Rifles are usually bolt or slide action, with popular calibers being 6.5mm, .308, 30-06 or 8mm. Nearly all international clients rent rifles rather then bring them.

Archery hunting is not legal in Poland.

Rural Poland offers a very huntable and game rich terrain. The landscape is generally flat, but complete with wooded hills and highly fertile rolling farm country. Cereal crops, vegetables, canola, corn and pasturelands are prevalent. This region is dotted with woodlots, fruit orchards, pine plantations and larger tracts of mixed forests largely made up of Birch, Oak, Poplar and species of Pine. Many of the best Red Stag areas are in regions with large impenetrable wetlands, providing cover and sanctuary.

During the Red stag roar (September) the weather is generally warm and pleasant with the vegetation beginning to change colors. Frost or dew can develop overnight, but temperatures rarely dip below freezing.

Poland offers rich culture and historic charm. A variety of lodging options can be arranged for hunters. Palaces, old luxurious manor homes, renovated heritage hotels in small villages, or rural cottages are all options. Nearly every venue will have its own unique story or post-war restorations. You can expect private rooms, complete bathrooms, moats, gardens, courtyards, dining halls & gracious common areas.

Meals are often catered or served in an adjoining restaurant, already with every package. Enjoy 3 hearty meals daily featuring an array of locally sourced Polish favorites. Soups, sausages, sauerkraut, salads, assortments of cold cuts & cheese, smoked fish, schnitzel, chops & roasts, followed by delicious deserts. In classic eastern European hospitality, no one ever goes hungry!

Destination City: Hunters are usually greeted at one of several destination cities across Poland depending on the location of their hunt. Most often Poznan, Wroclaw, or occasionally Warsaw.

Travel Suggestions: All destination cities are easy reached especially by any Lufthansa airlines flight, with best connections typically occurring in either Munich or Frankfurt, Germany.

After a successful hunt in Poland, trophies are generally left with the outfitter for international clients. After the season the outfitter will deliver all the trophies with select taxidermists who can either do the complete work, or prep, permit and crate trophies for shipping and coordinate with European shipping agents. General turnaround time to delivery is approximately 8 months.
