Guided Latvia Hunting with Haralds Harviks

You know, it's funny how some of the best hunting destinations fly under the radar. Latvia — nestled between Estonia and Lithuania along the Baltic Sea — is one of those hidden gems. When Haralds Barviks of the Latvian Safari Club first invited me over, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Twenty years later, I can tell you this: the hunting here is absolutely phenomenal.

Roe Deer Hunting

• Trophy roe deer in prime habitat
• Traditional high seat and spot-and-stalk methods
• Perfect combination of forest edges and agricultural land

‍

Let me tell you about roe deer hunting in Latvia — it's something special. These diminutive roe deer might not have the mass of their larger cousins, but what they lack in size they make up for in challenge and charm. The mosaic of forests and fields creates perfect habitat, and the Latvian Safari Club has access to some of the best territories in the country.

‍

Picture yourself in a high seat at dawn, watching the mist rise off a freshly cut hay field as a trophy buck steps out — that's the essence of European hunting right there. The stalking opportunities are equally exciting, especially during the rut when calling can bring a buck running. These hunts are as much about the experience as the trophy, and the quality here is exceptional.

European Moose Hunting in Latvia

• Massive bulls possible
• Traditional stand hunting and calling during rut
• Expert guides who understand moose behavior

‍

European moose hunting presents a unique challenge, and Latvia hosts some remarkable specimens. These aren't your typical Alaskan-style hunts — this is pure European tradition, often conducted from elevated stands strategically placed along well-used trails. During the rut, calling can be devastatingly effective.

‍

The guides here — many of them members of the Latvian Hunters Association — have been pursuing these giants their entire lives. They know exactly where to place you for the best chance at success, and watching a massive bull materialize out of the morning mist is something you'll never forget. The success rates here are impressive, but it's the quality of the experience that really sets these hunts apart.

Eurasian Wild Boar Hunting

• Action-packed driven hunts
• Night hunting opportunities
• Year-round availability

‍

Eurasian wild boar hunting here is, quite simply, extraordinary. The drives are a spectacle of organized chaos — dogs, drivers, and plenty of action. But what really sets Latvia apart is the quality of the animals and the variety of hunting methods available.

‍

Whether you're participating in a traditional drive or sitting in a high seat at night, these crafty creatures will keep you on your toes. The Latvian Safari Club has perfected these hunts over decades, and the results speak for themselves. Don't be surprised if you find yourself coming back year after year — these hunts can be addictive.

European Red Stag Hunting in Latvia

• Exceptional trophy quality
• Rut hunts in September
• Traditional hunting methods

‍

The red stag hunting here is world-class — there's no other way to put it. Latvia's habitat is perfect for producing trophy-class animals, and the September rut is something every serious hunter should experience at least once. The sound of a mature stag roaring across a misty meadow is something that gets into your blood.

‍

These hunts combine the best of traditional European methods with modern game management. Whether you're hunting from a high seat or stalking — the opportunities for quality trophies are excellent. The guides know exactly when and where to place you for the best chance at a medal-class stag.

European Beaver Hunting

• Unique hunting experience
• Evening and night hunting
• Excellent success rates

‍

Now here's something you don't see every day — beaver hunting might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of European hunting, but it's incredibly entertaining. These crafty engineers have created their own ecosystem throughout Latvia's waterways, and the hunting can be surprisingly challenging.

‍

Evening hunts along the waterways are not only productive but scenic — the perfect way to round out a big game hunt or as a standalone adventure. The meat is considered a delicacy here, and the pelts make unique trophies.

Hunting in Latvia

The variety of species and hunting methods available here is remarkable — from traditional driven hunts to high-seat hunting at dawn and dusk to spot-and-stalk opportunities. The accommodations range from comfortable hunting lodges to historic manor houses, each with their own charm and character. 

‍

Most hunting in Latvia happens between September and February, though some species can be hunted year-round — and the regulations are straightforward, especially when working with an established endorsed outfitter like the Latvian Safari Club.
