Hunting in Estonia: Estonia is a travel destination that is still off the beaten track, yet beloved by hunting tourism not only because it is a hunter's paradise, but also because it is green, luxuriant and wild.
Estonia can be reached in full autonomy by then contacting the hunting agencies on the spot, or if you prefer an all-inclusive trip, in which the organizational details are left to professionals in the sector, you can contact the various tour operators.
What matters is that once you reach the destination you will be literally amazed and not only for the beautiful landscapes that are proposed to you, but above all for the variety of techniques and types of hunting that you can experience. The icing on the cake are its small and large towns, medieval fortresses not to be missed: Tallinn is the leader, all narrow streets and characteristic restaurants where you can savor the typical cuisine of the place.
An ideal excursion destination therefore if you choose to organize a trip halfway between the hunting and the family: companion (s) and children will surely thank you.
And now let's get to the point: if you choose Estonia as a hunting location you can try your hand at at least 8 different types of hunting based on the period in which you will organize the trip and of course according to your preferences.
Among the most popular is the woodcock hunt open from August to November. The advice is to dedicate yourself especially in October and early November, preferably with your own pointing dogs. Not infrequently the hunting of woodcocks is combined with that of geese and ducks given that the habitat unites the species. Hunting usually takes place in the beautiful Pakri islands, not far from Tallinn, uninhabited and full of reeds, gulfs and inlets. There are also small swamps and low vegetation, ideal home for woodcocks. Far from civilization, the Pakri islands can be reached by boat, a detail that adds something unforgettable to the day.
European moose hunting is also practiced. The hunt is open in September and closed in November and takes place on a hunt with a call. The hunt for brown bears is also of timeless charm, practiced between August and October in stalking. The advice if you intend to book for this kind of hunting is to do it with a certain notice: hunting licenses are very few.
In Estonia, you can also hunt wild boar. This genus of hunting is open all year round due to the large presence of the species in the area. The best period in which to engage in this hunting activity is however winter when the ground is covered with snow and it becomes easier to identify the presence and position of the wild boar thanks above all to its footprints.
For those who organize this beautiful trip, wolf and lynx hunting is also available, the first between November and February, the second from December to February. Both species have experienced a significant increase in the territory in recent years and this makes hunt with dogs particularly satisfying.
Finally, Estonia also allows you to try your hand at hunting red deer. Here are the largest in the world, ideal for those who love to collect trophies. The hunt opens in September and closes in November and usually takes place in the western part of the country or on the major islands.
Of course, the hunting possibilities in Estonia do not end here: hares, geese, partridges, ducks, wood pigeons, cesene, beavers, foxes, raccoon dogs, martens, stone martens, otters, badgers, minks and skunks complete the picture.
Having said that, all you have to do is close your bags and leave for Estonia.
