Hosts are Julian Salutregui and Cory Glauner of Outdoors International. Cory opens by recapping a Colorado rifle elk hunt with his dad where nine hunters in camp killed seven bulls.

Julian just returned from his first South Africa bow hunt. He hunted through an outfitter on multiple concessions roughly three hours from Johannesburg. Species he pursued or took include impala, nyala, warthog, and baboon; he had close calls on zebra and wildebeest but did not connect on either.

Julian walks through the travel step by step: a 15–16 hour flight from Newark, an 8-hour time difference from Mountain Time, hotels near the airport, a 3-hour drive to the lodge, and the outfitter handling pickup. He notes the lodge has five suites, a pool, Wi-Fi, daily laundry service, wild-game meals every night, an on-site salt shed, cooler, and European-mount prep.

Best times to visit: bow hunters should go mid-July through end of September (dry season/winter); rifle hunters April through September. January–March can hit the upper 80s and heavy rain. During Julian's winter visit temperatures ran 68–72°F.

Bringing a firearm costs about $150 through a permit service that handles the paperwork; guns are held at the airport baggage terminal. Outdoors International now includes a hunter-focused travel agency in international hunt packages to handle flights, firearm routing, and emergencies—Cory used the same service in Kazakhstan and Kyle used it for a Hungary hunt.

Pricing: both hosts call South Africa the most affordable hunting option they offer, saying it beats Texas exotic ranches on value. Julian hunted 9 days and recommends at least 5 hunting days. To book, contact Julian through the Outdoors International website.

Kyle Hanson spent just under three weeks in Hungary in September, arriving September 1 and departing around the 17th or 18th. He personally hosted two weeks of clients—week one at the South Estate and week two at the Southwest Estate—making 2025 the first full client year after a vetting year.

Outdoors International operates seven locations in Hungary under one outfitter. Kyle describes five distinct areas: the South Estate (largest stag genetics, averaged 8.5 kg, best for serious hunters, also offers trophy fallow and roe buck later in fall); the Southwest Estate (historic old-world lodge, high stag density, non-hunting activities including spa and deer-feeding tours, good for families); the West Estate (wellness spa hotel base, medieval castle nearby with jousting twice a week, a dedicated couples package with non-hunter program); and two northern estates, one of which sits inside a 5,000-acre high-fence with stag, fallow, boar, and mouflon, rated the most professional operation in the country.

All hunts are flat-rate, all-inclusive, non-size-restricted free-range programs structured as four days/five nights with a bonus first-evening hunt and a bonus departure-morning outing. Stags in Hungary are native wild animals managed by government-issued tags; guides use a 12-point checklist covering age, tine length, mass, and points, and estates lose future tags if sub-standard animals are taken.

Kyle took his first free-range red stag on a frontal shot at under 100 yards at first light from guide Gabor, less than a half mile from the South Estate lodge. Days later, with guide Gabor's partner, he called in and shot a second, much larger stag at roughly 250 yards off shooting sticks—a quartering-away heart shot that broke the offside shoulder. That stag was confirmed as the largest taken by the entire outfitter in 2025 and is referred to in European tradition as 'the champion.' Kyle also added a roe buck, an $800 add-on paid only if successful.

Kyle flew to Hungary with his personal firearm and learned two key rules through the trip's travel agency: Frankfurt Airport requires a separate firearms permit applied for up to four weeks in advance, and international airlines must be notified at least three days before departure when a passenger is traveling with a weapon. Both rules would have caused problems without the travel agency. Outdoors International is now incorporating a concierge travel agency into all international hunt packages as a standard inclusion.

Client group highlights from week one included Travis Stevens and his brothers from South Dakota, who were delayed a day after missing a connection in Chicago. Kyle plans to require all clients to arrive in Budapest one full day early starting next year to allow for travel redundancy and a bonus first-evening hunt. Guest Steve also shot two stags during the week, with the second approaching 8.5–9 kg.

Hosts are Kyle Hanson and Cory Glauner, consultants at Outdoors International. This episode is also the first test of a new in-house podcast platform.

Alaska DIY caribou (August): Cory hosted a group hunting caribou and grizzly out of Kotzebue with air taxi operator Gary and pilot Patrick. One hunter in the prior group shot a wolf chasing a bull into a lake, then recovered the bull after swimming out to it. Cory's group saw few caribou due to heat and shifted patterns; one hunter killed a small bull and the group took a large Arctic grizzly boar estimated at eight and a half feet. Season-wide success rate was roughly 65–70%, down from nearly 90% the prior year. Kyle and Cory warn that a political push to close nonresident DIY caribou hunting may end the opportunity and recommend booking no more than one year out and always buying trip insurance (roughly 4–4.5% of trip value).

Alaska DIY moose (early September): A sister operation to the caribou outfitter tried a new area with ten tags and went 10 for 10. Hunts are ten days; the longest harvest took six days including an archery group. Average bulls are estimated at 56–59 inches with some pushing 65 inches. The unit has no minimum size restriction.

Archery elk in Colorado: A new ranch produced 100% success on archery elk. Both of Kyle's clients rebooked a four-person slot for the following year; the full season is already sold out. The same outfitter offers trophy-oriented rifle hunts with a tiered trophy fee structure.

Hungary red stag (September): Kyle hosted 27 hunters across five regions and finished with a 98% kill rate. Average stags ran seven to eight and a half kilograms (roughly 300-plus inches) depending on location. The outfitter guarantees opportunity at a stag of six kilograms or larger or offers a return hunt at half price or a 50% refund. Kyle personally took his first red stag, his first roebuck, and a second stag that was the largest of the season. Five hosted weeks are scheduled for September 2027.

Scotland, South Africa, Idaho, and upcoming hunts: Consultant Charlie Ward is live in Scotland hosting couples on red stag and sika deer hunts with near 100% success. Consultant Julian just returned from his first South Africa trip with a long-standing operator rated five stars. In Idaho's Frank Church wilderness, one client killed a 310–320-inch bull and also tagged a mule deer in September. Cory has a Colorado first-rifle-season elk tag (October 14–18) and his father is coming along. Kyle will host two back-to-back Sitka blacktail boat hunts on Kodiak Island in late October and early November, swapping between two vessels mid-ocean. One Nome-area reindeer hunt program had 100% harvest success but fell short on client satisfaction and will not be offered in 2027.

Kyle and Cory discuss our three standout hunting programs in Hungary, all professionally organized on private lease estates with a strong emphasis on trophy quality, high success rates, and luxury service.

The flagship experience is free-range red stag hunting during the peak rut (“the Roar”), widely regarded as the finest in the world thanks to Hungary’s unmatched genetics and strict game management, and enormous population of wild stags. Hunters stalk mature, roaring stags in old-growth forests, with a guaranteed success rate and the largest free-range antlers available anywhere. Complete all-inclusive packages (professional guide, lodging, meals, field prep, and trophy fee for a representative stag) start at $7,000 USD and are deliberately group- and spouse-friendly.

The same red stag trip can easily be customized into a multi-species combo by adding fallow deer, roe deer, mouflon, wild boar, or additional stags on the same itinerary, with pricing still starting at $7,000 and increasing only for the added animals.

For pure adrenaline, the driven wild boar hunts deliver classic European high-volume action: in 3–4 days an average group harvests 100+ boars, enjoying 5-star accommodations and service throughout. These trips accommodate up to 15 guns and start at $4,000 USD all-inclusive.

In short, whether you want the planet’s best free-range red stag roar hunt, a tailored multi-species safari, or a fast-paced driven boar extravaganza, Hungary has turn-key, world-class options ready to book—prime dates go quickly.

This hunt was different from what he was used to, and he said that's what made it great.
