Wild Boar Hunting

Wild boar hunting with a variable success rate

Alongside its vast lowlands, Croatia also offers extensive mountain hunting grounds where wild boar are pursued exclusively from high seats at feeding sites. To maximize success, these hunts require careful preparation. Hunting is suspended in selected areas for at least 30 days prior to the confirmed hunting date, while feeding continues uninterrupted. Game activity at these locations is closely monitored, and hunters are placed at sites where boars appear most consistently. Since wild boar often arrive at dusk or later, the most favorable conditions include snow-covered ground, nights with good moonlight, or—where permitted by Croatian law—the use of night hunting equipment. During a four-day hunt, guests have a high probability of harvesting one to two mature boars, typically around six years old, with tusks exceeding 21 cm. These hunts require advance booking and, whenever possible, should be scheduled to coincide with optimal conditions. Prices are generally somewhat lower than in the lowland hunting grounds described above.
