Bear Hunting. Sun dapples the woods. A soft rustle in the undergrowth, a twig snaps and he's almost on top of you - a huge monster, going for the bait. Bear hunting is one of the most challenging sports – skill, knowledge and patience combine to give you one of the most sought after trophies. In Slovakia the official headcount for bear hunting is somewhere in the region of 1,200 to 1,300. There is no specified hunting season for bears, but it's traditional in spring and autumn. Bear hunting is limited to Slovakia; you'll hunt in the region around Banska Bystrica. The bear might seem at first glance as a very clumsy and slow animal, but in fact they are fleet of foot and good swimmers too. Try bear hunting, and you will find out.
