HUNTING IN ROMANIA INFORMATIONS
Romania has a long history of hunting and remains a remarkable hunting destination, especially because of the wild game animals that can be found in huge forests still untouched by the human civilisation. Our country is home of a high numbers population of brown bears, wolves, lynx, red deer, chamois, red deer, wild boars and roe deer. More than 60% of the European brown bear population lives here in Romania and we also have the biggest chamois subspecies in the world, Carpathian chamois. The red stags of our mountains are facing the wolves and the lynx every day and night and therefore are probably the most vigilant and difficult to hunt stags in the world. But Romania is not famous for the big game only. We also have a fantastic small game population and we are one of the few country with a fieldfare hunts and the only European country where you can still hunt skylarks legally.
Between World War II and the fall of the communism, big game hunting was extremely limited, and permits were granted almost entirely to the members of the Communist Party. The most famous of all was none other than Romanian former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. After the fall of Ceausescu, hunting returned to normal and was promoted, and foreign hunters also started to come. The country was open for international hunters for sportsmen. After a short paradise in the early 90’s , without a riguros
management plan the population of the wild animals start to decline, especially in the accessible areas. Fortunately, the main nuclei of our wildlife remains untouched or with very little damage from the poachers. In 2011 most of our best hunting ground became private and wild life starts blooming.
In Romania minimum size of a hunting ground is 5000 hectares in flat areas, 7500 hectares in hilly areas and 10 000 hectares in the mountains. We are the country with the lowest number of fenced hunting areas in Europe, 99.9 % form our hunting grounds are open. Romania have been blessed with perfect balance between flat areas, hilly areas and mountain areas.
Romania and his hunting traditions
In Romania, hunting is regarded as a privilege, not a right, and is surrounded by a nostalgic and romantic aura as people pursue it as a noble passion, complete with certain rituals like botez vanatoresc or tablou vanatoresc, some kind of final parade after the hunting day. Tradition dictates that in big game hunting, in respect for the game and hunt, a tablou, a final parade of the game must be created, where all game is lined up for inspection, cleaned up as much as possible, with small green branches in their mouths, in a photographic pose and by the hunting master, together with the other hunters and their guns, and photographs are taken as a memory. Our country has two hunting museums. First one is Hunting Museum of Posada in Prahova county, hosting nationally celebrated writer Mihail Sadoveanu’ s collection. More known is the August Von Spiess Museum of Hunting and Hunting Arms, in Sibiu, last one of 1600 pieces.
Climate of Romania
The climate is temperate continental climate in transition. The average annual temperature is 11 °C (51.8 °F) in the south and middle-south and 8 °C (46.4 °F) in northeast. In Bucharest, the temperature ranges from average low −5 °C (23 °F) in January to average high 29 °C (84.2 °F) in July and August, with average temperatures of −3 °C (26.6 °F) in January and 23 °C (73.4 °F) in July and August. Rainfall, although adequate throughout the country, decreases from west to east and from mountains to plains. Some mountainous areas receive more than 1,010 mm (39.8 in) of precipitation each year. Annual precipitation averages about 635 mm (25 in) in central Transylvania.
Winters are quite cold, with average highs even in lower-lying areas being no more than 3 °C (37.4 °F) and below −15 °C (5 °F) in the highest mountains.
Species to hunt in Romania and hunting season
Main hunting season in Romania is from 15 September to 15 December for most of the species. Exceptions are the roe bucks that can be hunt between 1 of May until 15 October and wild boars that can be hunted year around.
For brown bear we use to have 2 seasons, spring season and fall season. We still hope the government will reopen the bear hunts in 2019.
Romania offers a good selection of European trophy hunts including red stag, chamois, roe buck, wild boar, fallow buck and hopefully brown bear. As bird hunting we can hunt quail, dove, wild pheasant, wild ducks, geese, woodcock and capercaillie.

Unfortunately in Romania bowhunting is not allowed!
Traveling with firearms and ammunition
Depending from the country you come from you have quite a few airlines you can choose from, each one with his own rule and regulations. For this reason is better to have a traveling agent or at least to send us an email regarding the company you prefer.

In order to hunt in Romania you will need:
- A valid hunting license in your home country or elsewhere;
- Gun permit. If you are an European hunter you will need European gun passport and if you are an US hunter, will need a 4457 form filled by your local police with your name and your gun serial number and brand. If you don’t know what is a 4457 form please send us an email and we will send you some reference with our formal clients from your state that will be able to explain you better what to do it;
- Hunting insurance against incidents. If you don’t have it, we can made one for you here in Romania. Please note that our hunting insurance is made only to cover your stay here in Romania.
We recommend that you purchase hunt insurance after booking your hunt in case you need to cancel your trip to Romania for any reason, and to obtain the usual travel insurance benefit. If you plan travel with your gun you will need a hunting invitation from our side. If you are not an European citizen we need to issue that at least 10 days before your arrival.
American citizens do not require a VISA to travel to Romania, nor most of European citizens. If you are planning to stop over in other countries before or after the hunt it is prudent to check with the embassy/consulate for the countries you intend to visit. Romania is a very safe country and you don’t have to worry about anything. More than this one of our outfitters will be with you from the time of your arrival until departure.
