Red fox hunting trips in Bulgaria
Vulpes Vulpes
Distribution
The Red fox is found in prairies and semideserts, forests, steppes and forest-steppes. You can see it in the suburbs and even in urban areas, living together with other small predators. This species is found everywhere in Bulgaria.
General information
The fur of the Red fox is rust-coloured. It has white belly and black ears and legs. Its eyes are golden-yellow and have distinctive vertically cut pupils like the cats. Its long shaggy tail, which has characteristic white tips, provides balance during jumps. The adult Red fox weighs 4.1-5.4 kg. Body length is 80-110 cm. Its size varies depending on habitat. In autumn and winter its fur is long and thick, and in spring until the end of the summer – short.
Way of life and feeding
Foxes are omnivorous. They eat rodents, insects, fruits, worms, carrion, eggs, mice, other small animals and poultry. The fox is one of the greatest allies in our fight against rodents, which often dominate its menu. They eat 0.5-1 kg food per day on the average.
Reproduction
Fox breeding period is from December to January, and in the northern high parts of its area it is in February-April. Females have an annual oestrus, which lasts 1-6 days. The ovulation is spontaneous. Copulation is noisy and short - it lasts for not more than 20 seconds. Although a female may mate with several males (who fight for it), it finally chooses to live with one only. Males bring food to females up to and after confinement, and generally leave them with the cubs in the mother’s lair”. The average number of fox cubs from one litter is 5 and the maximum is up to 13 fox cubs. The cubs are born blind and weigh 150 grams. They begin to see in about 2 weeks and make their first steps outside the lair in up to 5 weeks. The mother weans them at about the 10th week, when they reach their puberty.
Behavior
Foxes are active at dusk, but in more densely populated areas they are active mostly at night and evening or early in the morning (at dusk). Generally they hunt singly, and if they find more food, they hide it for later. Each fox marks its territory with urine and faeces. Foxes mate only during winter and in summer they look for food, after they have dug several burrows in these territories. These can be burrows of former inhabitants such as badgers, or newly-dug ones. In winter, they use one main burrow, where the fox lives, and raises its cubs. Smaller burrows are intended for cases of danger and for storage of food. The cubs most often spread rapidly, when they reach sexual maturity (8-10 months), but they frequently remain in their home territory and help raising the next generation.
According to some researchers, individuals that do not breed, make it sure that the cubs will survive, while others say this difference is negligible. Foxes communicate with body language, with its smell and vocalizations (sounds). Voice range is great and the sounds that they make could be I am lost (three yelps) to a scream type near to the human scream.
Conservation status
According to the Convention on International Trade with Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the fox belongs to the endangered species, but most of their populations are stable. Shooting is based on quotas.
Place and significance of the fox in the ecosystem
It is proved that foxes may affect the populations of rodents, including rabbits and birds of prey. They spread the seeds of the fruits, eaten by them. Their positive or negative role in the development of ecosystems, state reserves and poultry-raising must be assessed separately in each case.
Economic significance
According to its biology and way of eating, the Red fox eats a large amount of mice and other harmful rodents, thus contributing to the agriculture. It also destroys a lot of useful game - rabbits, pheasants, partridges. It is a carrier of rabies, that’s why in case of high density of the population it is pursued throughout the year. Her skin is a valuable and demanded. It is hunted with the use of battues, but most often by stalking near enticement. Her skin and skull have trophy value.

Why Bulgaria
Wide Variety of Game Animals
A mix of rugged mountain ranges and broad plains provides ideal habitat for red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, chamois, mouflon, wild boar, wolves, and lynx
Unspoiled Natural Landscapes
Most of Bulgaria’s more remote regions remain undeveloped and undiscovered by tourists, leaving plenty of room for abundant game populations and providing a true wilderness hunting experience
Cultural and Touring Opportunities
Bulgaria is famous for its beautiful Black Sea beaches, fine wines, monasteries, and historic and cultural sites including Plovdiv, Europe’s oldest continually inhabited city, that are well worth exploring before or after your hunt
About hunting in Bulgaria
Bulgaria, located in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, is famous for its game-rich wilderness areas and mountains. Two large mountain ranges divide the country into distinctive regions, and a third of the country is forested. Hunting opportunities are provided on some 30 state-owned hunting grounds, as well as many hunting clubs and private estates. They offer excellent trophy quality red stags, Alpine chamois, Balkan chamois, fallow deer, roe deer, mouflon, and wild boar, as well as wolf and lynx. Bird shooting is excellent for pheasant, partridge, ducks and geese.
What you need to know
- Planning your trip
Visas
A visa is not required for citizens of the USA, EU, and many other countries for a tourist visit to Bulgaria. Hunters may bring their own firearms, but it’s crucial to arrange all details with your outfitter in advance. You must be able to provide all rifle and ammunition details as well as a valid hunting license from your home country.
- Upon arrival
Most hunters arrive in Sofia, Barna, or Burgas via connecting flights from other large European airports. Discuss arrival options with your outfitter; it is best to be met by an interpreter who can take you through the arrival and customs formalities, especially if you are bringing your own firearm. From the airport, expect a two- to three-hour transfer by car to your hunting area.
- Hunting
Hunting difficulty varies widely. For hunters seeking a mountain experience, there are high rugged peaks where chamois are stalked, and there are also many hilly regions and plains areas where deer and other game are abundant. Most hunting is done by spot-and-stalk or by glassing from a high seat. Bulgaria is also one of the few European countries that allows bow hunting.
- After the hunt
Trophies are measured by a state commission. This usually happens in the hunting lodge and in the presence of the hunter, who then completes and signs the protocol for evaluation. Typically, trophies of red deer, fallow deer and roe deer are measured 24 hours after boiling and cleaning. The price for trophy of red deer and fallow deer is calculated based on the weight of antlers with skull, including the lower jaw. For roe deer, a 90-gram discount is deducted.
Export documents and veterinary certificates (including CITES permits, if necessary) for are usually prepared by the management of the hunting area immediately after the evaluation of the trophy and, if possible, are issued prior to the hunter’s departure.
