FAQ’s

Note that details can vary slightly based on the package you choose, the estate you’re staying at or the animals/season that you’re hunting.

How do we get to the hunting estates?

You’ll fly commercially to Budapest through the airline of your choice. The Outfitter or a member of his staff will meet you at the airport for the transfer to the hunting grounds via mini-bus. The hunting estates are typically within two hours of Budapest, depending on your lodge location.

What kind of food can I expect?

Expect traditional Hungarian cuisine, mainly meat from the hunting grounds. If you’ve got dietary needs, let the outfitter know when you book.

What’s the typical daily schedule on this hunting trip?

Start your day early with a hearty breakfast. Morning hunts kick off right after, followed by a quick lunch break on the hunting grounds. Wind down with dinner back at the lodge in the evening.

Do the guides speak English?

Yes, most guides speak English. Plus, the outfitter is always around to help translate if needed.

Which rifle do you recommend?

While all game can be hunted with a .243 caliber rifle, we recommend a .270 or larger, especially for driven wild boars and driven wild boar hunts. Make sure to carry your FAC and European Firearms Pass.

Do I need to worry about licenses, tags, or permits?

No worries there. All necessary licenses, tags, and permits are included in the price of the hunt.

What clothing should I pack?

Pack green background clothing for camouflage, and some orange for driven hunts. In winter, warm clothing is essential, as temperatures can drop below minus 59°F. Don’t forget waterproof clothing and well broken-in boots.

How much does hunting in Hungary cost?

Pricing varies depending on options and availability. It’s always best to check the trip overview or talk to your consultant directly.

When is the driven wild boar season in Hungary, and what are the success rates?

The hunting season in Hungary is from December through January. Success varies, but the expected bag is 25-40 animals, with 70% being boars.

Are there other activities besides deer hunting?

Yes, in addition to driven wild boar, you can try fallow deer, roebuck, or mouflon sheep hunting, and pheasant hunting. All of which is truly outstanding.

If there’s time, you’ll visit the Agricultural Museum in Budapest on your way to the airport. It’s a great spot to see world record Hungarian trophies and learn about Hungary’s hunting history.

What’s the weather like during the hunting season?

December and January can be chilly (highs 39–41°F, lows 30–32°F), bringing rain/snow mix, high humidity (90%+), and dim 8.5-hour days—pack layers for wind (10–12 mph) and potential frosts. Overall, layer smartly: breathable base for, insulated mid-layers, and waterproof shells come December.

How should I prepare physically for this hunt?

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
