Pheasant shooting in Slovakia

Slovakia

We are privileged to have the pheasant shooting rights to five Slovak estates with a rich history of bird shooting. Driven pheasant shooting is offered each weekday (including Sundays) from mid October through to the end of February, an extra month for British guns, therefore we are able to provide the ideal weekend sporting getaway. Testimonial: "Just a brief note to say that we had an excellent trip, it met or exceeded expectations in pretty much every respect." (Chris P., Oxfordshire, UK) "We had an amazing weekend with you and would love to come again next season. The trip was perfectly organised and the quality of the birds was exceptional. The service went above and beyond our expectations" (Hugo S., UK)

Two days Traditional Driven Pheasant shooting in Slovakia - the heart of Europe, with Chateau accommodation. The historical Chateau is exclusively to syndicates use. Delicious home cooked game food is served throughout your stay with a welcoming black tie dinner on your arrival. Located south east of Slovakia, just over an hour and half away from the Bratislava International Airport where you would be picked up from. Vienna Airport can be easily arranged. The syndicates will shoot over two days in different wing shooting estates. Flying over the birch trees from the top of the hill the birds easily fly 80 feet high. The gun will enjoy seven very different and fun drives accompanied with their personal gun loader and dogs to retrieve.  The pheasant shoot includes following: • Bag of 700 birds – 350 birds per day; • Two days of Traditional Driven Pheasant shoot; • Personal Loader; • Traditions accompanying the hunting day; • Third party insurance and local hunting licences; • Exclusive Accommodation for 3 nights in historical Chateau; • All meals – Home cooked; • Black tie dinner; • Meeting, greeting and all land transfers; • Guide of company representative during your stay. On the shooting day, elevenses are provided and lunch is served at the hunting lodge in the heart of the woods. The "Last drive" signals the end of the successful wing shoot, the bag is then laid out - Le Tableaux and the sounds of horns are played as a mark of respect to the day's bag. The traditional ceremony creates lasting memories to take home.

**We shoot until end of February!** Shooting in Europe bases its Slovakian operations from beautiful Chateau Bela. From Chateau Bela we have shooting rights at a number of renowned local estates. There are three high bird estates and two other excellent estates with a rich history of shooting. For those who prefer the more challenging birds we always recommend the high bird estates. Season: 25th October - 28th February packages available: 200/ 300/ 400/ 500+ birds per day as many days as you want, 6 - 11 guns packages include: • Accommodation in Chateau Bela***** • All meals (including all drinks at lunch and wine during supper)  • Transfers from Budapest or Vienna • Loader each day • Hunting permit & insurance • Host and translator for duration of stay • Transport to and from shoots Cartridges are available locally on a sale or return basis. Non-shooting guests are welcome and we can arrange activities on shooting days such as wine tasting, shopping trips and cultural excursions to towns, castles and museums. Further prices available on request. Driven pheasant shooting is offered from mid October but is principally conducted from November through to February. We are privileged to have the pheasant shooting rights on five historic estates and combine with them the opportunity for first class dining and accommodation facilities. Typically shooting begins at around 09:30 am with approximately 6 drives being shot during the course of the day, but this is dependent on progress of the bag and the time of year. Each day is held at a different estate. Our estates are able to use their outstanding topography to show challenging and spectacular birds from a mix of established woodland and strategically sited cover crops. Each gun will be assigned a loader who will take care of your guns, cartridges and score your birds. Each drive is opened and closed by a group of traditional horn blowers. Light refreshments are served in the field after the second drive of the day. Lunch is served including drinks, a hot meal of local specialty followed by dessert with tea and coffee in the lodges located within each estate. Every lodge is adorned with different trophies and has its own character. Non-shooting guests are welcome and will either join the guns on the shoot or will be taken to local sights. _'In the forests of Slovakia the shoot ends much like it begins: at a fire to the tune of three horns bleating an ancient song of the hunt. Slovaks call this the _vryad_ —a ceremony to honor the guests, evoke the spirit of the chase, and honor the birds that have brought shooters thousands of miles across oceans and continents to a remote valley in a half-known land in Central Europe.'
