Your Arges Brown Bear Trophy: Legality and Legacy

A successful brown bear hunt in Romania ends not at the trophy, but in the meticulous legal journey that follows. French hunters face a precise path: CITES permits, veterinary checks, international compliance. Through the copper-tinted corridors of the Carpathians, Carpathian Safari guides you not only through the hunt, but through every legal step to ensure your (Ursus arctos) trophy reaches France, unchanged, unchallenged.

Our process is cinematic in its clarity. After your Arges county expedition, we oversee trophy measurement and field preparation using CIC methods. Then begins the paperwork: CITES application, EU veterinary certification, careful packing. You rest while our team navigates the labyrinth of regulations—Romanian, European, and French.

Precision does not end in the field. It continues until your bear trophy stands, legally, in your French collection. Reverence for wildlife and respect for the law. That is the Carpathian Safari difference.

Why Hunt Brown Bear in Romania?

Romania’s Carpathian forests are the historic stronghold of the European brown bear. For French hunters, the combination of ancient wilderness and transparent legal process is unmatched.

Wild Populations, Authentic Pursuit

Romania’s bear populations are wild and free-ranging. The Arges region remains a stronghold for (Ursus arctos), offering a genuine fair chase experience—on snow-laced ridges and silent forest corridors.

Legal Transparency and Support

Every step—from hunting license to CITES export—is documented, licensed, and managed in partnership with the Ministry of Environment. No hidden obstacles, no guesswork.

Proximity and Partnership

Direct flights from France, familiar EU standards, and a French-speaking support team. Your trophy’s journey home is as carefully shepherded as the hunt itself.
