The representative of the hunting area waits for you at the meeting point and discuss the program for the next days. On request we can supply a guide for the tourist programs.

This document contains the following details: type of the rifle or shotgun, factory number, caliber, number of cartridges, your name and passport number.

How to import a hunting weapon?
1.) If you are not having the „European Firearm Licence”
- The „License for the import (and export) of hunting weapon” can be obtained from the Hungarian custom authorities, and the license is provided when the prospective guest hunter presents his or her valid latter of invitation, a hunting-gun license that is valid in the visitor’s own country, presents his or her valid passport and pays the custom fee. The fee is 3000 HUF (12,50 EUR, 16,- USD). (There is possibility to change money at every border station.)
- The license is valid for 90 days. The hunting-guns must not be kept in Hungary for a longer period. This license must be presented when leaving Hungary and it must be left in the office of the border station where you cross the border.
- Where do you get your „License for the import (and export) of hunting weapon”?
At the airport: After the passport control, please go with your luggage and hunting weapon to the customs officer (red line, things to declare). He gives you this license.
Arriving by land: After the passport control, the Hungarian customs officer issues this document for you.
2.) If you are having the „European Firearm Licence”
- You will not have to stop at the border station and appy for „Licence for import and export of hunting weapon”. You have to keep all the document need to travel, the letter of invitation and the Eurpoean Firearm Licence by yourself.
- In Hungary, shotguns can be used to hunt only for small game (except wild boar that also can be hunted by shotgun.)
- Only three numbers of ammunitions can be inserted in semi-automatic shotguns.
We suggest to bring your own rifle or shotgun with you, but you can borrow it too. Shotgun ammunition is always available, however if you have any special requirements you are best to request this in advance. For rifles, guests are requested to bring their own ammunition.

News and tips
The people at Naturhun work on organising hunts every day; they make arrangements with our guests and arrange the hunting areas – they are busy working in the office in one moment and get in their cars to go to the field in the next, and since we would like to record and share our hunting experiences. The only thing I like more than writing blogs is going on hunts. You will see why if you bear with me.
