Report 2004 


  • In the 2004/5 season 35 British guns shot driven boar with us in Croatia and accounted for 29 head.
  • The best boar topped 400lb, with18 cm tusks, and several guns had a brace
  • Group 2, in the middle of November, encountered snow, rain and cold weather conditions.  This provided most challenging shooting, as well as challenging driving in the hills on forestry roads.
  • The change in accommodation to more local hunting lodges proved popular with the guests, and not surprisingly boar was on the menu.
  • We at BSA always try to build compatible groups of shooters
  • We managed to keep this up this year, despite considerable age differences in the guests (youngest 31 oldest 76)
  • The first November group got on so well that they made a booking for this year, with the specific wish that they stay together again.
  • Departures from Heathrow for the 2005/6 season will be all AM rather than PM, which will facilitate a more timely arrival at the lodge.
  • We are winning with the Police Firearms Inspections upon arrival in Zagreb, and with advance documentation and declaration we hope to reduce the ordeal to 1 hour.
We would welcome any pictures taken by guests, to add to the site and would be grateful for any testimonials or introductions to new shooters.
