PREDATORS · CALLING
Fox calling in the foothills
Year-round, no quota, no draw. Fox is the small-game answer to the big-game ethic: short stalks, technical calling, and the kind of cold-morning sport that hunters return for in their off-seasons.

ABOUT THE HUNT
What to expect
Fox (Vulpes vulpes) is unrestricted in Romania. We hunt it through the winter from blinds at field edges, with mouse-call and prey-distress calling done by the guide. Snow days are gold — tracks and visibility flip the technical edge to the hunter.
Days are short and concentrated: an hour of glassing the field before dawn, two or three setups through the morning, return for breakfast, repeat at last light. A productive 2-day hunt yields 3–5 shot opportunities; a 3-day yields 5–8.
This pairs cleanly with a roe deer or fallow deer hunt — same lodge, same region, same guide, twice the time in the field.
Good to know
Oradea, Cluj, or Timișoara — whichever is closest to your hunting zone. Airport transfer arranged on request (not included in the package).
Hotel, guesthouse, or hunting cabin — depending on your hunting zone.
Common Romanian choices: .222 or .223 with quality scope. Fox is one of the three species for which a thermal or night-vision sight can be authorised, and then only under a Ministry of Environment derogation — we confirm it for your dates before you travel.
Rifles, shotguns, and ammunition can be rented on site — bring a valid hunting permit from your home country and we’ll sort the rest at booking.
Quiet warm clothing, gloves, electronic predator calls (we supply or bring your own).
Hunters wanting affordable technical winter sport — great 2-day pair with a roe deer or fallow deer trip.
