The season spans from early May to the end of September. May is prime early season, while late July & early August is peak rut.

-Additional Roe bucks are the most popular option, with most hunters taking 5-6 bucks.
-Wild boar can also be taken as targets of opportunity.
-Red Stag may be available (Sept only) should any permits remain available.
-Mouflon & Fallow deer seasons are closed.

These hunts come standard at 5 days (x10 outings) with a total of x5 morning and x5 evening outings. Greet your guide each morning and afternoon at the lodge. Early season is largely spot & stalk, covering ground looking for bucks early and late in the day. With small core ranges, big pre-scouted Roe bucks can also be hunted from high seats in strategic areas. During the rut, spot & stalk, and especially calling tactics are very effective. Rutting activity also extends hunting hours into the midday.

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 .243, 6.5mm or .308. 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 Pine. Many of the best Roe deer areas occur where the right combination of rich agriculture if found adjacent to thick cover.

Roe deer season is often warm and sunny. The early season in May offers lovely classic spring conditions. The rut occurs late summer and the weather is generally warmer than during the earlier spring hunts. Temperatures ranging from 60F/15C – 80F/25C would be typical. Rain & mosquitoes can at times occur, but not overly prevalent. Overall, nice and pleasant.

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.
