POLAND: MOUFLON SHEEP HUNT

The Mouflon Sheep hunting season in Poland spans from October 1st to the end of February. The rut occurs in November.

- Fallow Deer: October Mouflon Sheep hunts coincide perfectly with the rut.

These Mouflon Sheep hunts come standard at 5 days with a total of 10 morning and evening outings. Greet your guide each morning at the lodge and search for European Mouflon primarily by means of spot & stalk hunting. Some hunts are conducted from high seats or blinds in strategic areas, depending on the stage of the season. Physically the terrain is not difficult to traverse. European Mouflon are often in large flocks, and approaching stealthily to avoid detection from the many sentinel eyes is the challenge.

We generally encourage clients not to bring personal firearms from home for Mouflon Sheep hunting in Poland, especially if wishing to do any tourism while in Europe before or after the hunt. Each guide in Poland has a proven-quality rifle and ammunition always available for clients to rent ($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 than 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 a 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 Pine species. Many of the best European Mouflon areas are within close proximity to some of the larger and denser forested regions.

With respect to Mouflon Sheep hunting, early season weather (first half of October) is generally warm and pleasant with the vegetation beginning to change colors. Mid-season (mid-October to late November) is more classic fall weather conditions, but rarely dipping below freezing. Late season (December-February) if lucky brings colder snowy conditions slightly below freezing.

Poland offers a rich culture and historical charm. A variety of lodging options can be arranged for hunters.

You can expect Wi-Fi, private rooms, complete bathrooms, moats, gardens, courtyards, dining halls, and gracious common areas.
