Turkey is one of our favorite destinations, as we are passionate about both mountain hunting and hunting large game. Our results in Turkey confirm our position as one of the leading destinations.
Among the most coveted species is its queen, the bezoar ibex, known for its beauty and impressive horns; we also find the Anatolian chamois, which is native to the area; the Konya sheep, also endemic; the Anatolian red deer, valued for the quality of its trophies; the Anatolian gazelle, reintroduced after being protected for more than 40 years; and, of course, the species that attracts the most hunters to this country year after year, the wild boar, a species with a large population and exceptionally high quality. It can be hunted year-round, either by night stalking or driven hunts.
In night stalking, hunters, accompanied by expert local guides, travel through the terrain where wild boar are known to be most active. These hunts are conducted on foot or in 4x4 vehicles, employing specialized equipment such as thermal imagers or night vision devices, essential for detecting the animals. In this method, an average of 2-3 wild boars are hunted daily, with an average length of over 23 cm, sometimes exceeding 30 cm.
Drives for groups of 8-14 hunters take place over four consecutive days, with three or four drives per day. In a standard four-day program, it is common to harvest 60-100 wild boars, with an average of 20-30 tusks.
