HUNTING
About us
Hunting in Estonia
Estonia is considered one of the best hunting places in Europe because it is located on the autumnal migratory route for birds along the Baltic Sea. I have 30 years of hunting experience and for the past 18 years, I have organized hunting trips in Pärnu County. We offer bird hunting trips in the coastal and forest areas of Pärnu Bay.
We arrange your accommodation in Kurgo villa with catering in restaurant, hunting documentation and transport for hunting trips. Your hunting dogs can stay in separate cages in the insulated house in the garden of the hotel. The game birds can be processed and stored in a freezer. In order to be able to hunt in Estonia, foreign citizens need to have their home country hunting licence and European Firearms Pass. We can formalize a foreign citizen hunting licence that is issued in Estonia and foreign citizen hunting licence properly on the spot.
There are no restrictions on the number of game birds you can hunt. You may only use steel shot. Electronic decoys are not permitted to be used in Estonia.
Let us know your wishes and together with my hunter friends, we will organize an exciting hunting trip.
