I'm not an expert in hunting in Europe but I think that personnal contacts are far superior to Booking Agents. This is true in most of the World by the way.

I hunted in the Czech Republic last Fall and had a ball. Roe Deer, Mouflon, Boar, Fallow Deer, all at very reasonable prices. Most with no trophy fees. I was invited on a number of Drive Hunts, both on State Forest and Private land where no trophy fees were charged. I was also invited to hunt by about a dozen people I met in Germany, CZ, Slovakia and England.

Being an American helped as we were graciously recieved everywhere we went. That does not seem to be the case with all countries.

I would do as Nitro proposed and contact members on this Forum who live in Europe and request information and help. The best way and by far the easiest on the wallet.

One other thing is to visit a Gun Shop while there. We went into Frankonia in Nuremburg and my buddy asked if they knew of somebody that would take us Boar Hunting. A gentleman standing next to us at the counter said that he would be honored if we would be his guest the folowing Saturday for a Drive Hunt. Unfortunately we would not be in Germany then but I have his name and sent him a Christmas Card and have a standing invitation when I go back. In December, by the way.

This also works in Montana and in Australia by the way. People like to meet and entertain foreign visitors, I know I do.
