Itinerary
Day 1
For the hunt itself you will need up to 5 days. We have tags in multiple grounds and exclusive access to best brown bear hunting grounds in Croatia, so we take hunters based on bear activity on feeders at the time of hunter’s arrival.
Most of our guests fly into Zagreb (ZAG) or Split (SPU), both offer excellent worldwide connections and are just 2 hours by car from our hunting areas.
Croatia is one of the safest countries in the world. Croatia is also a member of European Union and NATO which makes travel to here easier. You can focus entirely on your hunting experience with complete peace of mind.
The best time for brown bear hunting is between mid-September to mid-October in autumn, and again from mid-April in spring, when bears are again active after hibernation. The brown bear hunting season in Croatia runs from September 16 to December 15 and from February 1 to May 15.
Upon arrival in Croatia you will be greeted at the airport and transferred to your accommodation.
When we reach the accommodation, you unpack and get settled into the rooms. Afterwards, we head to the shooting range to test the rifles, normally at 50 meters (55 yards). This is an important step, as it allows every hunter to feel the rifle’s trigger and gain confidence for the upcoming hunt.
Day 2 - 5
In the afternoon, about an hour and a half before dark, hunter and guide go to the high seat. Our high seats are closed and warm, so you can sit comfortably for hours. From there it is sitting in silence and waiting.
Bears are baited with corn, fruit, peanuts and similar food at the feeding sites. You usually don’t hear a bear coming at all. It just appears out of the forest, and sometimes there are even up to 5 bears at the feeding site at the same time.
We use thermal monoculars and binoculars to judge the bears better in low light. Your guide will evaluate each bear and tell you if it is one to shoot or not, depending on the trophy size you are looking for.
After The Hunt
Once the hunt is successfully completed, the focus shifts to celebrating the experience and enjoying everything Croatia has to offer.
Once the points are evaluated according to CIC (either right after the hunt or few days after the hunt, by official Croatian trophy scorers – 3rd party) , it is clear how much remains to be paid.
Our dedicated third party agents will arrange shipment of your trophy to you or they can deliver it directly to your taxidermist.
We also work with an awarded, world class taxidermist who can salt and boil trophies, as well as create any type of mount you require.
Artemis Hunting team is here to support you every step of the way!
Artemis Hunting is always at full service to our guests, before, during and after the hunt! We will help you prepare for the hunt, communicate with you the expectations you have of the hunt, specifics of the hunting ground you are going to…
Before the hunt, we’ll take a few practice shots, and the Artemis Hunting team will show you exactly how to use our rifles and optics. Throughout the hunt, our guides will be by your side to assist with range adjustments and shot preparation, ensuring that every hunter is confident, comfortable, and ready for a successful shot.
Available rifles
We have all sorts of rifles: Blaser, Bergara, Sauer, Hardy, Christensen, Howa, etc. Basically for every type of hunting. Some of the calibers we have are .300 Win. Mag., .30-06, .308 Win., 6,5 Creedmoor, 7 PRC etc. We also have muzzle brakes on most of our rifles, so even with bigger calibers there isn’t a big recoil.
