Your hunting trip in Bulgaria can be real after signing a contract with representative of the hunting area, where you are going, or with a hunting agent. You or your hunting agent can sign the contract.
When arriving at the airport, a foreign guest must present to the Customs authorities the following documents:
- personal passport;
- passport/permit to carry a sporting piece, issued in the country of
permanent residence;
- hunting ticket/license, issued in the country of permanent residence;
To declare the imported sporting piece and to fill in two copies of the given declaration. There should be written the trademark, the caliber and the identification number of the sporting piece. The filled two copies of the declaration are to be given to the Customs officer, who checks the sporting piece and certifies /with a sign and a stamp/ the declaration. One of the copies of the declaration stays within the Border Control Point and the other one the hunter must carry with his/her passport.
You will be welcomed at the airport by a representative of the contract person. An interpreter will accompany you during the whole stay. The Director of the Hunting Area or a delegated person issues the hunting permit and organizes the very hunting, according to previously made agreements.
The prices of the gained trophies of red deer, fallow deer and roe deer calculate on a basis of their weight, measured 24 hours after their cleaning and boiling. The prices of the wild boar trophies are being calculated on the basis of the average length of tusks, and of the mouflon – the average length of horns. The wild goat trophies are being paid on the basis of the international point system CIC, as well as the pelt of the brown bear. A provisional protocol is then drawn up, which includes the day (date) and the time of shooting and the trophy weight. The State Evaluation Commission carries out the trophy’s evaluation.
The State Hunting Areas provide all necessary export documents for your trophies, namely:
- evaluation protocol, issued by the State Trophy Evaluation Commission;
- payment protocol, issued by the same Commission;
- veterinary certificate;
- customs declaration or simple customs declaration;
- CITES - for the species included in the Convention on the International Trade with
Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna;
- invoice.

Red deer
The red deer is a symbol of the Bulgarian hunting management. Because of the rich natural biotope and the
good management, there are particularly strong populations with very good trophy qualities – with vigorous,
beautiful and symmetric crowns, dark antlers with many pearls, with long and even spikes and white ends.
In Bulgaria the red deer is hunted walking and from high seat. During the mating period, the hunting is most
successful and is an unforgettable experience.
In many Hunting Areas red deer trophies over 910
kg can be gained. Hunting Areas located in Northeast
Bulgaria offer capital trophies over 1214
kg. The red deer in the mountainous areas in Rhodope Mountain,
Vitosha, and Old Mountain have weight between 79
kg. The heaviest trophy in Europe 19,2
kg., is gained in
the region of Balchik (at Black Sea).
During the last hunting season, more than 20 trophies were obtained, all over 230 CIC points.

Wild boar
In Bulgaria, wild boar hunting is much loved, preferred and traditional. Hunting is from high seat, driven
hunting, and in some hunting regions – walking and stalking. There are very good wild boar trophies in all parts
of the country. Typical for the mountainous parts is the large width of the tusks, which assures high evaluation
and at least, a bronze medal.
The most frequently shot wild boars have tusks with length 2024
cm, and usually get silver and gold
medals. Wild boars with length of tusks over 24 cm are often shot. The best time for hunting form high seat is
just before or after full moon, from November until March. Many capital wild boars evaluated to over 120 CIC
points were gained in 2006. The longest tusks from the last hunting season are 28, 8 cm.
The national record was shot in Rhodope Mountain and its appraisal is 158,20 CIC points. For 18 years
(until 2004) it was the World record as well.

Driven hunting is emotional and attractive experience on the territory of the whole country, in high
mountains and plains. Hunting can take place in open areas, as well as in special large hunting enclosures (over
300 ha). The chasing dogs, the running game and tense expectation – you can personally feel this in many
hunting regions in Bulgaria.

Fallow deer
This large game has been acclimatized 100 years ago. Its management is especially successful through the
last 3040
years. Unlike Western Europe, in Bulgaria the fallow deer lives also in the nature. There are only few
enclosures, but they cover large territories – up to 4000 ha. This is the reason that the fallow deer has kept its
game instincts and is hard for hunting. During its mating season, hunting on trophy species is very successful.
Trophies of 34
кg can be gained. In some Hunting Areas because of its population’ density, selective
programmes are offered. Hunting is through stalking or from high seat.
In 2005 there were shot many trophies, 5 of which over 200 CIC points.

Mouflon
The mouflon has also been acclimatized decades ago and now is developing very well in many areas of
Bulgaria. Proof of that is the extraordinary trophy with 234, 40 CIC points shot in Hunting Area “Voden”. You
should know that the mouflon is managed and hunted only in enclosures, although they are large in territory. Its
horns are long and symmetric– between 8090
сm, and it is a favourite trophy for many hunters. Hunting is
through stalking and from high seat.

The other good possibility is in September and October. In Bulgaria, the roe deer inhabits lowlands and
mountains also. Hunting on roe bucks is not easy, but waiting and stalking is worthy for a trophy with a weight
of 300450g.
(in mountainous Hunting Areas) and 400550
g (in the lowlands of Northeast Bulgaria). The
trophies of the Bulgarian roe deer are symmetric; antlers are long and with lots of pearls.

Lekking of the cock at dawn, before the sunrises, in the virgin forests, the good hunting organization and the
professional guide this
is what you can be able to feel in some of the Hunting Areas. The natural habitats of the
capercaillies are high in Rhodope Mountains and Rila, and during the winter are hard to hunt because of the
thick snow. Capercaillies with a weight between 45
кg can be shot.
Term of hunting: 15.04. 15.05.

variety is Rupicarpa Balkanika. Its hunting areas are usually over 1800 m altitude. Its hunting is hard, but
extremely emotional. Stalking in the virgin and untouched by human biotopes is an unforgettable experience. In

Carnivores
In Bulgaria, their population is very high, so their hunting is allowed. In not many countries in Europe,
carnivores are known as local game, or if there are any, they are under special regime. Their hunting is very
rarely allowed. During the winter months, you can successfully hunt on wolfs and jackals through stalking, from
a high seat or even taking part in driven hunting.
Annually hundreds of foxes are shot, as well as about 300 wolfs and 4000 jackals.
