Frequently
asked questions
What paper work do I need to transport my gun?
You will need your EFP and UK or Irish certificates
for shotguns.
Can I hire a gun or rifle?
At some of our hunting grounds there may be restrictions but
hiring a rifle or gun is normally very easy.
Do I need to take rifle bullets or cartridges with me?
Some rifle bullets are easier to source in the
British Isles but on most occasions it
is both simple and cheap to purchase bullets and cartridges in the county
of your hunting.
How much ammunition can I bring with me?
International regulations govern the amount of ammunition each aircraft
passenger can carry. At present the maximum permitted amount is 5 kg (11
lbs) this includes the wait of the security box the cartridges or bullets are being
transported in.
What are trophy rates?
A trophy rate is payable to the
national government on specified shot
quarry. It varies depending on quarry species and is based on the length of
the horns, in the case of mouflon and chamois or the tusk length with
reference to wild boar. Fortunately Hobson Hunts can provide hunting prices
that include any size trophy.
How will I get my trophy home?
With the majority of airlines trophies can only be carried if a
valid veterinary certificate is presented by the passenger and trophies must
be carried as checked baggage in the hold. But as it takes time to prepare a
trophy, Hobson Hunts will on most occasions have the trophy prepared
in the country that it is shot and sent on to you.

It takes
around two hours from the United Kingdom to Croatia and Slovenia and three hours of flight time to travel from the UK to
Bulgaria.
