HUNTS WITH DOGS
Hunts with dogs are one of the most effective hunting methods - dogs accurately follow tracks and drive animals from their hiding places. This approach is especially suitable for moose and beaver hunting, ensuring a dynamic and productive hunting process.
Hunting calendar in Latvia
Moose hunting
1 September - 31 December
1 September - 31 December
The moose is Latvia’s largest game animal - an adult bull can reach 500-600 kg and carry an impressive set of antlers. Moose hunting is considered one of the most prestigious and challenging hunts, requiring patience, accuracy, and a well-thought-out strategy. The result can be highly valued trophies that meet international CIC standards.
Red deer hunting
15 July - 31 March
Bulls (over 2 years): 1 September - 15 February
Young bulls (up to 2 years): 15 August - 31 March
Hinds: 15 July - 31 January
Calves: 15 July - 31 March
Red deer is one of the most sought-after trophy animals in Latvia. Hunting it requires patience, alertness, and an understanding of the animal’s habits. Thanks to thoughtful selection and sustainable population management, our hunting grounds hold stags with strong, high-quality antlers that meet international trophy standards.
Roe deer hunting
1 June - 30 November
Bucks: 1 June - 30 November
Does and kids: 15 August - 30 November
Roe deer is one of Latvia’s most popular and widespread game species. An adult roe deer weighs on average 20-30 kg, while an adult buck can reach up to 35 kg. Buck hunting is especially sought-after, as it offers valuable, visually impressive trophies that score highly on the CIC scale.
Wild boar hunting
No seasonal restrictions
Year-round - no seasonal restrictions
Wild boar can be hunted throughout the year in Latvia and is considered one of the most dynamic and exciting hunts. Mature boars with strong tusks are especially valued, offering highly regarded trophies and showcasing a hunter’s skill.
Wolf hunting
15 July - 31 March
15 July - until quotas are fulfilled, but no later than 31 March
Wolf hunting is a challenge even for experienced hunters. In recent years, the wolf population in Latvia has grown significantly, making regulation an important and necessary management measure.
Different methods are used - howl calling, baiting, or flag lines - and each requires careful preparation, patience, and precise execution.
A successful wolf hunt provides not only a high-value trophy, but also proves the hunter’s skill and ability to apply strategy against one of Latvia’s smartest predators.
Waterfowl hunting
20 August - 30 November
20 August - 30 November
Waterfowl hunting is a classic autumn hunt that requires accuracy and good knowledge of bird behaviour. It usually takes place early in the morning or in the evening near bodies of water or in wetlands, when birds are most active.
Woodcock hunting
1 September - 15 December
1 September - 15 December
The woodcock is a medium-sized bird weighing 300-350 g, with a long beak and mottled brown plumage that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Hunters must be ready to react quickly and take a precise shot. This hunt is highly valued both for the sporting challenge and for its long-standing traditions.
Beaver hunting
15 July - 15 April
15 July - 15 April
The beaver is an active and cunning animal that can be hunted with dogs by dismantling dams, or in waiting hunts. These hunts are not only exciting, but also practical and important for nature management.

→Frequently asked questions
What weather should I expect, and what should I bring?
Latvia’s hunting season includes late summer, when temperatures are often above +15°C and light, breathable clothing is suitable, as well as autumn and winter months, when average temperatures range from +10°C to -10°C, and in some periods can drop as low as -20°C. In these conditions, we recommend bringing weather-appropriate waterproof outerwear, warm thermal layers, gloves, a hat, and warm footwear with good grip.
Which documents do I need to provide?
Foreign hunters need to provide a valid passport or ID card, a hunting licence/certificate, and a firearm permit from their home country. All documents are coordinated and verified before the hunt begins. We will arrange the permit to hunt in Latvia and any other permits required in Latvia.
How do I get a hunting license and weapon permit for hunting in Latvia?
To hunt in Latvia as a foreign citizen, you need a valid hunting license from your home country and a European Firearms Pass (for EU citizens) or an official state police permit (for non-EU citizens). Hunters Tribe handles the entire administrative process, securing your official Latvian hunting permit and managing legal firearm import or premium rifle rentals.
How do I get from the airport to the hunting area?
The main arrival point in Latvia is Riga Airport (RIX). From there, transport to the hunting areas takes 1-3 hours, depending on the selected area. Transfer services are provided.
How many people can be in one driven-hunt group?
The optimal group size for one driven-hunt group is 10-25 hunters to ensure a safe, efficient, and high-quality hunt.
How are individual hunts organised?
Individual hunts are organised twice a day - early in the morning and in the evening, when animals are most active. Hunting is possible both from a stand and by approach (stalking). Each hunter is provided with a professional guide who ensures safety and the quality of the hunting process.
How do you handle trophy preparation and international shipping?
We provide expert, first-stage trophy preparation in the field, including professional skinning, boiling, and bleaching of skulls according to CIC standards. For international shipping, we arrange all necessary veterinary certificates and work with trusted taxidermy logistics partners to ensure your trophies safely reach your home country.
Can I rent a rifle in Latvia, or must I bring my own firearm?
You can absolutely rent a rifle. Hunters Tribe offers premium rifle rentals equipped with high-quality, zeroed-in optics suitable for both stalking and driven hunts. If you prefer to bring your own firearm, we will guide you through getting the official Latvian weapon permit using your European Firearms Pass.
What happens to the game meat after a successful hunt?
In Latvia, wildlife conservation laws dictate that the game meat belongs to the local hunting grounds or the land owner. However, during your stay, you will experience the finest local wild game cuisine prepared by our private chefs using fresh, organic venison, wild boar, and moose from our successful hunts.
What happens if I do not harvest an animal during my trip?
While our territories boast exceptionally high game densities and an over 90% success rate due to strict wildlife management, hunting remains a true wilderness challenge. If you do not harvest an animal, you are only responsible for the Full-Service Daily Rate. You never pay a trophy fee for an animal that was not successfully taken or wounded.
