About hunting in Slovakia

Slovakia, located in the heart of Europe, is a small country but its woodlands and fields hold a rich variety of game animals. Hunting in Slovakia has a long and storied tradition, with hunting grounds dating back to the 1400s. The country has excellent wildlife management, and trophy quality, particularly for mouflon, is outstanding. In 1994, a mouflon with a score of 237 CIC points was taken in southern Slovakia. Hunting associations have a long history in Slovakia and have been instrumental in promoting forest maintenance and preventing poaching since 1920. Game trophies harvested in Slovakia have been awarded numerous gold medals in hunting exhibitions since the 1930s. Slovakia’s Tatra Mountains are home to the Tatra chamois, found nowhere else. Bears, wolves, and lynx are also present in the wilder areas of the country.

Firearms

It is not difficult to bring a firearm to Slovakia, but you must arrange the details with your outfitter at least 45 days in advance. You must obtain a letter of invitation from your outfitter; to receive this you’ll need to provide personal details and all rifle and ammunition details in advance, and have a valid hunting license from your home country.
