I have been with a small group of hunters hunting Wild Boars in Erzurum in Turkey. Trip have been very exciting , it is a beautyful hunting area with big mountains and narrow valleys , very wild nature. Weather have been rather cold 0 to minus 8 on celcius and snow, but weather so beautyful , sunny and crispy weather with a fantastic view every day.  Wild Boars are not in great numbers but they are monster Wild Boars that evry one dreams of. Our biggest in the group was a gold medal Wild Boar that weighted more than 300KG!! So Turkey is a great destination if you are looking for the Wild Boar of your life.  Turkey also have the most soughted Ibex in the world , the Bezoar Ibex ,  it is possible to do both hunting at the same trip ,  few days Wild Boar hunting and then change area and go for 4 - 5 days for the Bezoar Ibex.  During our trip we spotted many foxes and also we saw 2 Wolfs very close by and lots of tracks.  Accommodation was first class in Erzurum and food was fine. All in all a good trip and great new experience in a new country fo most of us. For three days we finished with 29 Wild Boars. For all further information contact Arni at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

 From my room in Erzurum Hotel, excellant full comfort.  Great lunches out in the wilderness, hot soup and BBQ.
 Wild Boar country, they like the bushes.  Waiting for a Wild Boar to come out of the thick.
 Fresh Wolf tracks.  Beautiful scenery and fantastic mountain view.
 Valleys have lines of cover where the Wild Boar hide in.  Having a lunch on a crispy day.
 Experienced hunters.  Good friends that travel and hunt all the world together.
 Sitting on a edge of a hill waiting for the boar to come out.  Shooting distance can be all from 15 meters up to 300 meters.
 Having a snack in our Hotel.  A fox is down and there is a lot of them.
 Big Boars and happy hunters.  This is a proper Wild Boar!
 Waiting ... drives are long up to several hours.  This is the reason you hunt Turkey!
 Looking for a blood track.  Having a little rest between drives.
 Collecting the Boars.  Huge Boar, it took 6 people to lift this boar in to the truck.
 Big boars all in one single drive.  Happy ending ... this was the last drive of our trip.

The Turkey Wild Boar and the biggest and the most sought after Ibex in the world the Bezoar Ibex have the same season ,  so you can do both Wild Boar hunting and Bezoar Ibex hunt in the same trip , two different parts of the country though , you will need alltogether 10 days for a combo hunt.
