BELARUS
TRIP DETAILS
Ever since our first trip here, we as fellow hunters have fallen in love with Belarus!
Located in the eastern Europe and with no access to the ocean, Belarus is bordered on its western perimeter by Poland, by Latvia and Lithuania in the north, by Russia in the east and Ukraine in the south. Belarus has been allowed to maintain much of its natural beauty over the years, with 40% of the country covered by forests, many of which are primary forests in which animal and plant species that have disappeared in the rest of Europe live peacefully.
With vast plains covering much of the landscape and a continental climate, the main resources of the country are agriculture and industry.
The fauna is rich and you can find, amongst other animal species, red stag, European moose, wild boar, roe deer, wolves, bison and a wonderful diversity of small game and waterfowl.
The combination of the fact that the area has not yet been fully explored by hunters, and the vast expanses of territory, some of which are extremely difficult to get to, creates an exhilarating atmosphere in which it is possible that at any given moment you may see a truly remarkable animal.

GETTING TO BELARUS
Belavia offers direct flights from many European capital. Upon arrival our interpreter will greet you, accompany you through the formalities and bring you to your hotel or hunting lodge (3 hour drive maximum).
HUNTING
The hunter is picked up by car by his guide from the lodge and then either goes stalking or sits in a high seat according to their preference. Each hunter is accompanied by a guide. Two outings take place per hunting day, one in the morning and one in the evening, each outing lasts 3 to 4 hours.
WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION
A bolt-action rifle is ideal, recommended caliber: 300 WM, 300 Weatherby, 8 x 68 S, 9.3 x 62, 7RM or equivalent. Soft-tip bullets should be used, and enough taken for the duration of the stay. The rifle should preferably be equipped with a telescopic sight with good luminosity and sighted in beforehand by a gunsmith. We strongly advise you to practice shooting before your stay, ideally practicing using a shooting stick which we recommend you using during your stay.
HUNTING SEASONS
The moose and red stag hunting season opens on the 20th of August, however September remains the best time period to come as it is when the rut takes place. It is possible to hunt both species during the same stay and on the same territory. The best season to hunt Roe Deer is when the season opens on May 15th and during the rut from July 20th to August 10th. Wild boar and wolves can be hunted year- round.
