How to hunt in Europe

It is a myth that stalking abroad is always absurdly expensive. There are often management hunts available through outfitters that are the same price as stalking at home. The type of accommodation chosen is often a major factor in the cost. But capercaillie hunts can be found from £200 per day, roe deer in Bosnia from £300 and ibex in Spain from £750 per day. Equally, while a mouflon or chamois is exotic to us, a muntjac or Chinese water deer is a prestigious quarry for many Europeans. There are a number of websites where you can advertise an exchange hunt, which comes with the benefit of staying with a local, adding to the adventure.

Ibex are now numbered in the 10s of thousands in Spain, having been on the verge of extinction in the 1920s
