Many new places to enjoy hunting.

This winter Hobson Hunts has been busy finding new and exciting places for you to shoot and fish. We can now offer hunting in Bulgaria and Croatia. Argentia and Slovenia are also a new destination that Hobson Hunts can arrange both dove shooting and fly-fishing.

Don't worry about this winters shooting!

A reluctance to book shooting now in the hope of 'cheaper' shooting being available later in the summer has been a sentiment recently expressed by some guns. Press comment and hearsay that bookings are down on some UK shoots appears to have created further uncertainty amongst the shooting community.

Do not worry. Affordable quality shooting is still available if you know where to look and could result in an experience that changes your yearly sporting ritual forever. With pheasant and partridge all being sold for less than £30 per bird, it is a perfect time to consider the advantages of booking your chosen sport through Hobson Hunts. This friendly sporting agency has a huge range of shooting available in Bulgaria. It is only a three hour flight from London and Hobson Hunts arranges and prepares all the necessary accommodation, translators and paper work to make your shooting experience as enjoyable as any in the United Kingdom. In short, shooting in Bulgaria is hassle free!

This year Hobson Hunts has helped guns from across Europe, the US and South Africa find shooting that suits them. We began early in January with duck and woodcock shooting. This was very challenging due to the snow fall in Romania which slowed down the migration. With snow on the ground, some excellent wild boar were shot during February and March. Currently we are organising some stalked wild boar and mouflon trophy shooting for August and trying to control our excitement about the beginning of the quail shooting in mid-August.

Every package organised by Hobson Hunts is tailor-made to suit the individual or group. If you would like to find out more about shooting with us in Bulgaria please either send an email with the game species that interests you most, together with a rough idea of a date to info@hobsonhunts.co.uk or telephone me, Simon, on 07969 747738.

Many more happy days shooting!

With the summer heading our way it is time to think about booking this winters shooting. Although, with economic woes on our minds it can seem a melancholic process. Don't fret if you've found your thoughts drifting to how you will afford to enjoy top quality shooting this coming season then Bulgaria could be the answer.

In August, whilst others head off for Yorkshire and for Scotland, you can enjoy stalked wild boar shooting or the speed of quail bird shooting. Then later in to the season Bulgaria has partridge, pheasant, wild duck and geese along with deer stalking and boar shooting.

Please have a look at www.hobsonhunts.co.uk where you will see what's on offer and can request a personal quote for the type of game shooting that you wish to enjoy.

Garden Party

2009-04-29T09:37:00.001-07:00

I'd like to remind field sports enthusiasts/ friends that we have a garden party on the 16th May 2009. It is from 3pm onwards.

Mountain holidays

2009-04-27T05:46:00.000-07:00

I have just been to the Lake District to look at what the area can offer to Hobson Hunts clients. The potential for field sports is great but in that region it rests in the hands of too few individuals and the local authorises, as is the case throughout the UK, have far too much say in matters they no nothing about.
It appears that the UK is not open for country sports businesses!

In the snow with gas to cook on

2009-01-16T08:46:00.000-08:00

The cold weather has at last come with snows that have pushed the duck and geese south along the Black sea. Now that the wildfowl are on Bulgarian territory the backlog of sporting guns waiting to enjoy quality shooting can begin to be cleared.
The recent dispute over gas prices between the Ukraine and Russia has not affected Hobson Hunts as the country has a large storage facility used to keep homes warm. As our shooting lodges are homes this has met our clients stay warm.

Sussex sun

What a super days beating! One of the shoots that I attend in Sussex was on today and the sunshine attended too. The most amazing thing is that over the many years that I've been beating at this shoot it seems always to be sunny. Despite the sun the pheasants flow very well.
One of the beaters had their birthday today. Having been out last night they were next to useless in the beating line!
By lunch time the required bag had been reached so the two afternoon drives allowed the beating team a more relaxed time.
The day done I said cheerio to all and left the birthday beater to their hangover and the joy of working on it further tonight.

Duck and Goose shooting

2008-12-05T12:09:00.000-08:00

The duck and goose shooting is under way in Bulgaria. Hobson Hunts is busy dealing with enquires from sporting guns from continental Europe and the British Isles. If you would like to experience either bird game (woodcock, duck, goose, pheasant) shooting or trophy hunting (for wild boar, mouflon or chamois) just take a look at the Hobson Hunt website: http://www.hobsonhunts.co.uk
