I want to share with you this news. Today is official and legal! After 8 years of hunting ban, more than 20 peoples was killed, hundreds of them suffered injuries, millions of euros payed for compensations to farmers, government decided to reopen the bear hunting to reduce the bear population and try to prevent more bear attacks and problems.

I will come back soon with offers and opportunities for hunters.
 
I've been curious to see where this is going. Good to hear.
 
Congrats to your country and your fellow outfitters. This seems like very good news for all involved

I look forward to hunting with your outfit one day soon.

Please allow me to be the First to ask the question::cool:

What other animals can be added onto a bear hunt?
 
You know I’m up for this hunt in the future!! I remember seeing all the footprints and the sow that we spooked while glassing for roe deer!!! This is awesome news!!!View attachment 621400View attachment 621401View attachment 621402

For those interested about hunt last year with Marius, send me a DM. Fantastic experience and can’t wait to do a brown bear hunt with him!!

We can hunt brown bear, red stag, Carpathian chamois, wild boars.
 
I hunted bear with Marius in 2015 just before the unexpected closure. Everything went perfectly so I know many hunters will have great experiences once again with him.

I’ve always planned to go back and now this is the perfect excuse!

Thanks again Marius, I look forward to our next hunt!
 
Oh, the environmental protection associations will be up in arms about this and will be lashing out at the country with what feels like 1,000 lawsuits.Romania has absurdly high bear populations.
A bear is much easier to get than a red deer.
In the cities, they compete with garbage collection
Farmers often only dare to go into the forest in small groups to do woodwork.
I experienced this myself during the deer rut in Hargita.
In a cornfield of about 4 ha -8 bears in it.
 
From the beginning I would like to say that government impose a size limit for export. The limit is 400 CIC points with a tolerance of 5%. If the trophy is bigger is not exportable. We have profesional guides to avoid this issue.

400 CIC Points?

Pardon my ignorance. I go by the age, height / length, and weight of a bear.

What age, height /length, and weight bear would go over the maximum 400 CIC score?
 
Marius, what season would be preferred, the Fall or Spring?
 
400 CIC round about 7 feet,may be not quite.
Points say nothing about the age.
A 400er in autumn can weight 300 kG
In springtime 200 kg.
They are loosing 1/3 during wintertime.
A strong bear is 450-500 CIC Points.
Some are so big and fat that they are ugly.
I know of a Romanian industrialist who feeds his bears with honey and chocolate all year round so that the little ones grow up to be especially big.
No joke - excesses don't only exist in Africa!
They have often not the length like your Brownbears.
But some are so good like strong Interior -grizzlies.
@ samson
not ideal this wish. A red deer during the rut and bear ?
I would be sceptical about that opportunity.
You can bear shoot during a driven boar hunt.Yes,when they are open again.Lots of European hunters have done it.
But a bear is too noble to be shot with a pig (for me)

Would it be possible within the EU? Or same restrictions?
 
Here is how we determine the CIC scoring for bear hide.

In the fall bears are much bigger because of the fat. Skin is shiny, they are looking very nice. In the spring, hair is longer, and they are about 20%-30% skinnier comparing with the fall. I prefer to hunt them in October and late April.
The export conditions are the same.

Most of my red stag hunters in the Carpathian Mountains faced the bears during the hunt. The bears and red stag are using the same feeding fields: grass or corn, etc.
I saw many bears chasing red stag during the rut, I experienced bear running in my direction when I started to imitate the red stag. I saw also big red stag chasing bears and wolves.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
