Geographical location and the natural habitat of Turkey appear to be very suitable for promoting hunting and hunt tourism. The authority for issuing permits and defining hunting grounds lies with the Ministry National of Forests (National Parks, Hunting and Wild Life General Directorate).
Brown Bear, hook horned mountain goats, wild goat, wild boar, lynx, wolf, jackal and fox are the main species permissions are issued for. Off these, wild boar is the most widely hunted animal because of the damages wild boar herds cause to farmers.
If interested an historical tour of istanbul or other sites can be incorporated into your hunting adventure itinerary in Turkey. On request necessary permissions can be obtained on your behalf through appropriate channels. Please contact for details.
