Capercaillie hunt in Bulgaria
Capercaillie spring hunting. Just returned from a fantastic hunt from Bulgaria. Velik was an excellent host and obviously an experienced PH. Couldn’t ask for a more well-organized hunt from the pickup to the drop-off. Both of us got our birds and they’re at the taxidermist now. Accommodations and food were great. Hunting capercaillie in the spring is unlike anything I’ve done and evidently opportunities are vanishing quickly. I highly recommend this hunt if you’re an avid bird hunter. Bulgaria is a beautiful country with a fascinating history (like most European countries). Great food and beer back in Sofia on the cheap too!

Chamois and capercaillie hunting with Velik
My father and I decide to go in the Bulgarian mountains after the Balkan chamois. We had a great time hunting father and son, solving worlds problems and enjoying the outdoors. A completely different hunt for chamois than what we are used to, but that showed how you need to keep hunting until the end. bow hunting in the Bulgarian mountains after the balkan chamois.

Bow hunting in Bulgaria
My wife Joyce and I hunted with CazaHuntingbg in Bulgaria and was everything a hunt should be. From my bow not showing up on the plane and Velik setting me up with an archery shop in Sofia to getting a Fallow, Red Stag and the new #2 Central European Mouflon Sheep. Our government scout Vasco was great as were the cooks at the places we stayed. Velik is an honest guy that knows how to organize archery hunts. Very very enjoyable experience.

Big red stag, fallow buck and wild boar hunts in Bulgaria.
Hunting with Velik Dakov in Bulgaria has been a very good experience. He has always recommended good hunting areas where I have hunted successfully and collected the desired trophies.

Awesome fallow deer bowhunt!
Velik “Cazahuntingbg” is a great guy! Very friendly, polite, knowledgeable and informative! He arranged a trophy fallow buck bowhunt in one of the best places on Earth for it. Near Sofia in Bulgaria. Had a fantastic guide with whom we were stalking deer in the woods the whole day and finally I had my chance on a huge 3,5kg mature fallow deer buck at 50 yards. Velik arranged everything and was with me the whole time. Despite the amazing trophy I also was able to take home some of the best meat of the animal! Very happy with his service and how things worked out. I definitely highly recommend Velik to anyone interested in hunting some of the best trophies Europe has to offer!!!

Velik is a man of great integrity, who I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
I have hunted with Velik for ten years now, both with a bow and rifle. During that time we have achieved two Gold Medal Boar, two Gold Medal Fallow Deer, a Bronze Medal Red Deer, a Bronze medal Mouflon, as well as numerous other Silver and bronze medal heads. Velik is a man of great integrity, who I would not hesitate to recommend his services. Whether this be in the mountains after Tahr, Chamois, Roe, Red, Fallow, Mouflon or boar, Velik is the man. On one occasion after a climb up a very steep mountain, we got our huge bull tahr. Velik as if by magic produced a bottle of champagne, I provided the cigars, we then spent a memorable forty minutes just enjoying being alive with friends. I look forward to my next hunt with him.

Chamois hunt
I met Velk at the hunting expo in Madrid – 2015. The following year I visited Bulgaria for my first wild boar hunt with Velik. Since then I go to Bulgaria every year to hunt red deers, capercaillies and my favorite game – The chamois.
Velik takes care of all the details, from arrival to the last hunting day choosing good hunting areas.
Hunting and smoking cigars with Velik in Bulgaria is good fun.

Red deer, fallow deer mouflon hunting with bow
A bow hunting friend of mine from WI recommended doing a hunt with Velik after he hunted with him the year prior. Velik has several hunting areas spread out across Bulgaria. I told Velik I was looking for a free range, bow hunt with the opportunity to take a red deer, fallow deer and wild boar. He suggested his Devin hunting area which is in southern Bulgaria. I hunted there for 5 days in the middle of October during the Fallow rut. We did a mix of spot and stalk and sitting in elevated stands. We saw plenty of game. I took a fallow deer and mouflon sheep. I missed a wild boar and saw several red deer. The accommodation was a very nice hunting lodge. I brought my wife with. She does not hunt and prefers to stay at the lodge or do other none hunting related activities. Velik arranged for an English-speaking guide to take her shopping and go sightseeing. My wife and I had a great time. We are currently setting up another hunt with Velik to go to a different hunting area. I’d recommend this hunt to anyone. If you’d like more information, please reach out to Velik to get my contact information.
