For the oldest Polish hunting guides, a year can be summarised in two parts: the red deer rut and the months leading up to it. With this sentence, our partner Jurek outlines the importance of red deer in Poland. With 25 years of experience in the business, he and his guides make the difference between an ordinary outing and a successful stalk.

Jurek: ‘It is not so much the stags we have to watch out for during the hunt, but rather the hinds. Stags are at their most careless during this period. Sometimes we can set up the shooting sticks at a few tens of metres to get a shot. But the hinds are extremely vigilant. Therefot it is important to keep a close eye on the whole area and every movement.

Hunting area

120 km from Stettin, you will be hunting in a 5,000-hectare area with a high density of game. About half of this hunting ground consists of pine trees, surrounded by lakes, swamps and reeds.

While the timber industry is making the Polish flora in certain areas look increasingly sterile, this biotope remains fortunately spared from forest clearance. It is a true paradise for red deer that will also please your eyes.

Hunting season

Without a doubt, the rut is the highlight of deer hunting season. For two or three weeks in September, the otherwise quiet, open plains are transformed into arenas where the stags challenge and fight each other.

The roaring that goes on until deep in the night surpasses all other sounds. It is a wonderful spectacle that must be seen, heard and experienced.

Under the guidance of experienced professional hunters you can hunt from a high seat or stalking. Trust your guide, he knows the places where the red deer will fight for the hinds like the back of his pocket.

You will see game in abundance. Not only red deer but also roe deer and wild boar.

Travel details

You will hunt and sleep as we prefer to do ourselves. For this reason, unless otherwise requested, we will reserve a single room for you as standard, with a private bathroom including shower and toilet.

After arriving at the hotel, you will head out into the field for your first outing the same evening. On your instruction or as long as the light permits, you will go hunting. You will usually arrive back at the hotel the same time as your fellow hunters so that the experiences of the last few hours can be shared.
