    Hunting contacts Austria ?

    Anyone have any contacts for Austria. I'd like to avoid the booking agents and Luxury hotels and talk direct to the Game manager/pro hunter/landowner and arrange a trip for this fall. One day I'd like to hunt Ibex but I'll dip my toe in Europe for a chamois thank you

    Largest Grizzly/Brown bear areas

    Right now I've got it down under 6 on the peninsula and going to check references. Everyone has large exclusive guide areas and takes under 6 hunters a season. I'm leaning towards the guys who are there 3 seasons of the year. That leaves 3.
