Barrelsniffer Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 hi mate,i did mine with a guide who took me outcost me 170 euros for 4 afternoons out,20 euros for my hunting permit,then 50 euros upwards depending on size and age of the boar,,i got 2 so 50 euros each, so total cost for 4 afternoons was 290 euros so very cheap they do have a club house and everything else,,like few thou acres of land,they shoot wolf,deer jackal boar plus other game and vermin.but at diff prices. im lucky as my mate knows a guy who also has his own shooting club.which im sure both cater for foreigners but more than likely a higher price next time i do go,again without my mrs,,my mates mate is taking me out with his club,and i can shoot anything from deer,boar,wolf if seen,all free as long as i split the meat between all shooters. so there u have it mate,lot cheaper than the advertised shooting hols u see in the uk. if you just get ur self out there,and ask locals,they would gladly help,for a fraction of the cost. Mick That is a cracking holiday Mick,do they do arranged holidays over there,and,are they cheaper than the usual ones mate.............................Martin.
