Big Game Hunting
Estonia is a paradise for Big Game Hunting, come and combine Red Deer and Moose
Big Game Hunting in Estonia
Among hunters Estonia is considered a sort of “European Canada” because landscape and hunting species are very similar to those of Quebec.
The most characteristic species which one can hunt in Estonia are: European Moose, Brown Bear, Red Stag, Lynx and Wolf. Of course Wild Boar and Roe Deer are also very attractive species which are very common in Europe.
It is noteworthy that Red Deers in Estonia are probably the largest in Europe and hunting during the rutting season is an experience not to be missed!
European Moose can be hunted from September 15th to December 15th by still hunting or stalking with Nordic hunting dogs. During the mating season (from September 15th to October 10th) hunting is done by imitating the voice of the female or the male.
In October hunting is done from high-seat or by using dogs.
Red Deer is hunted by stalking and calling during the rutting season in mid-September. During this period a Gold Medal Trophy for a Red Deer is guaranteed.
The Red Stag hunt has to be booked before August as the number of licenses is very limited. Our organization only organizes hunting for Gold Medal Trophies of Red Stag.
Brown Bear still hunting is the only form of bear hunting allowed in Estonia. The hunt is organised in different areas according to the availability of licenses. It takes place from high-seats on the feeding places and the best season is in August or beginning of September as long as licenses are available.
Capercaillie and Black Grouse Winter hunting is organised in January as for this hunt we necessarily need that the ground is covered with snow.
The hunt takes place at daytime by stalking on skis and using a small caliber rifle .22LR which is supplied. If weather conditions are favorable the chances are big of seeing a huge number of birds. There might also be the chance to shoot some white partridge.
