Stetlink Hunt

State Game Breeding Station “ZHENDA” is situated 260 km from the capital Sofia and less than 100 km from Kroumovo airport near the city of Plovdiv. The total area is 16,118 ha.The landscape is typical for the low mountains, crossed by numerous gullies. The ridges are smooth, the slopes very steep and rocky. The altitude varies from 400 to 1,100 m. There predominate mixed and coniferous forests. The main representatives of the wildlife within the territory of “Zhenda” are: RED DEER, FALLOW DEER, ROE DEER, MOUFLON and WILD BOAR. Every year 10 to 15 mature trophy animals of a different big game species are shot here. Between 40 and 50 animals – mainly mouflon, wild boar and fallow deer are used for resettlement in other regions of the country. Some 6 gold medals have been awarded to mouflon trophies obtained within “Zhenda”. Four wild boar trophies awarded gold and silver medals as well as the two bronze medals for red deer and fallow deer complete the collection of the best hunting achievements. Two hunting lodges – “Zhenda” and “Bolyartsi”, maintained to a very high standard, have been built in the territory of the Station. This gives an opportunity for combined hunting for two hunting detachments.
