Brown Bear

Hunting season: 01.09 - 30.12

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a relatively rare animal, placed under the protection of the Bulgarian law. Its hunting is limited and requires a special permission. We can offer you the opportunity to go hunting for this rare animal due to Hunting in Bulgaria's good relations with hunting reserves, authorized to perform it.

Hunting brown bears is a true challenge for every hunter. Adult animals weigh from 200 kg up to 300 kg. Despite their clumsy appearance they are fast, intelligent and strong.

The brown bear's pelt is desired trophy. In order to acquire it, we recommend hunting with a bait. This method has the highest success rate during the spring. After the winter hibernation the animals are actively seeking food to replenish its supply.

The import of trophies from brown bear (skin and skull) from Bulgaria in the EU is permitted. For this purpose, you need the issuance of CITES certificate. Information about that you can get from us. We will fulfill these formalities instead of you. In terms of hunters, the population of the brown bear in Bulgaria is very good. But the brown bear is widely distributed in
certain mountainous areas and not many areas have licenses for them. That's the reason hunting areas to try selling only big trophies and about 400 CIC.
