In October every hunter is in a hurry to get into the grip of the most masculine thrill in this sport – wild boar hunting. This is a rather risky, however, incomparable in emotions and twists with any other hunting adventure.

The boar is the most intelligent forest animal. It is said that its brain structure most closely resembles the human’s. This is also a very powerful beast with amazing physical abilities to develop speed. When in action, it can be compared with a battering ram. Its skull is extremely robust, and the total mass of the body often varies between 100 and 300 kg.

So in ambush, the wild boar hunter should always stand behind a tree or other cover. And still more – to keep an eye for the wind to blow against him. The boar has a very acute sense of smell and quickly could sniff the enemy, though its eyesight is very poor. To shoot the wild boar, it is best to load the rifle with an ammunition of 13/0 and a Brenneke – no matter whether a shotgun or not.

Some time ago we promised to tell you the story of the hunting paradise of Bulgaria. Its name is “Bukovetz” hunting preserve. It is situated in the middle of the Balkan mountain and the country, on an area of 29 000 hectares.

Needless to say, you can judge by yourself from the pictures, that in Bukovetz you can relish the delicious cuisine, enjoy the convenience and the comfort of the hunting lodge, to feel the trill of the real hunt and to get wonderful trophies.

The tranquillity and the virgin nature keep the natural habitats of the Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Wild Boar, Roe Deer and the Moufflon. The wealth of the wild fauna is presented from the partridge, pheasant, hare and all hunting kinds of migratory birds too.

It is possible to combine the hunt for big and small game within one day.

The vast meadows and the century-old forests, the great number of cornfields and the professional hunters offer successful hunt from a high stand and by stalking, so as a driven hunt too. The constructed convenient well heat- and noise- insulated raised hides and hunting high stands enable the absolute privacy in the wild nature.

The preserve disposes of two hunting lodges in the typical architectural Bulgarian National Revival style. For your evening summer comfort you can take a swim, Jacuzzi, have a dinner or simply enjoy the silence and the babble of the mountain stream in the open air. 

Il bulgaro Yavor Gancev dalla scuola Proto- bulgara “Baga – Tour” ha vinto la medaglia d’oro alla gara di tiro con l’arco tenutasi in Ungheria. Un’ altra partecipante bulgara Nina Yankova ha preso il bronzo ed è sempre della stessa scuola.  

Nella gara tradizionale ungherese partecipano 15 nazioni e più di 90 partecipanti.

Yavor Gancev considera che il suo segreto per il successo sta nell’arma con la quale ha partecipato. Il suo arco è di origine bulgara, ricavato da Marian Maniovski utilizzando tecnologie tradizionali senza materiali moderni ed è elaborato da corno e tendine. L’arco tiene più di 80 libbre anche a 38 gradi che è uno standard di battaglia.  

Yavor Gancev ha realizzato sette colpi favorevoli dei sette tiri a segno consecutivi per un tempo di record.

The Bulgarian Yavor Ganchev won a gold medal from the archery competition “Ancestors’ day” held in Hungary. Ganchev is a member of the Proto-Bulgarian survival school “Baga-Tur” which excelled also with another member in this competition – Nina Yakova who won the bronze medal.

15 nations and 90 competitors were present at the traditional Hungarian archery competition. Yavor stated that he believes the secret of his success to be the Bulgarian hornbeam bow. The bow has been handcrafted by the Bulgarian Marian Maniovski following the traditional technology excluding the usage of contemporary materials, added Yavor.  He could made seven successive direct hits, running zigzag between hurdles for a record period of time. 

The preserve is situated within the eastern slopes of Stara Planina – the so called Eminska Stara Planina, and covers an area of 35 568ha.

Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 000 sq. km in total, out of which hunting areas come to 100 000 sq.km. 85% of the hunting areas belong to the Bulgarian Hunting and Fishing Union. 15% are the state-owned hunting areas, 2/3rds of them are owned by the State Game Preserve and 1/3 of them are state hunting areas given under concession for a period of 15 years. The tenders for these concessions are announced publicly in the press and those who fit the requirements can apply. Only Bulgarian-registered companies can apply. Every year there are new territories which could be conceded. 

Every village in Bulgaria has its own hunting community. The total area of lands belonging to a village divided by 70 hectares determines the maximum number of hunters allowed in the village hunting community. The hunters above 65 years old are not counted in calculating the maximum allowed number of hunters within a given village community. The village hunting communities are united into hunting unions which are responsible for the protection of their interests. The unions are also responsible for guarding the hunting areas and introducing game animals into new biotopes in spring.

Wild boars in Bulgaria reach weight of 200 to 300 kg and trophy length of 20 to 30 cm. This is mainly owed to the abundant food they can find – 80% of the hunting areas are oak- and beech-tree forests. While to the north of Bulgaria – the Danubian Plain – there are hundreds of kilometers of maize.  Wild boar shooting from high seats is allowed throughout the whole year. Wild board driven shooting is allowed from October 1^st to December 31^st as the group of hunters should be from 8 to 20 people.

Throughout the last years wolves, foxes and jackals have highly increased their population in Bulgaria. Predators can be hunted all year round.  Night vision equipment is strictly prohibited by law.
