Premier Free Range Anatolian Red Stag Hunting in Turkey

Step into the untamed beauty of Turkey and pursue the world’s largest wild red deer — the legendary Anatolian Stag. Known scientifically as the Mid-Eastern Red Deer, this majestic game species sets the global standard for size and stature. With antlers reaching an astonishing 35 lbs, main beams up to 50 inches, and SCI scores ranging from 350 to 450, the Anatolian Red Stag is a true trophy of a lifetime. Weighing in at nearly 880 lbs, these stags dominate the forested landscapes of Anatolia, offering not only an unmatched challenge but a hunt steeped in tradition and natural grandeur.

Every detail of your hunt is expertly crafted to ensure success. Prior to your arrival, our seasoned professional guides meticulously scout for mature trophy stags, giving you the best possible chance at a clean and rewarding shot. The hunt itself is conducted using the thrilling spot-and-stalk method. At dawn, you’ll move out in search of roaring stags echoing through the hills, and in the golden hours before sunset, you’ll have your prime opportunity to connect. While walking is minimal thanks to well-maintained forest roads, hunters should be ready to shoot from 200–400 yards, as Anatolia’s dense cover demands both patience and precision.

Your 7-day experience begins with a private transfer from Ankara Airport to a comfortable and rustic hunting lodge nestled in the heart of stag country. Over the next five days, enjoy a flexible schedule that combines serious hunting with well-earned relaxation. After exhilarating mornings and peaceful afternoons in the field, return to the lodge to savor gourmet Turkish cuisine and local wines, unwind by the fire, and relive the day’s highlights. It’s not just a hunt—it’s an immersion into Turkish hospitality and wilderness.

This all-inclusive package covers everything you need: private transfers, guiding, meals, accommodations, licensing, trophy care, and more. Optional upgrades include adding a Trophy Wild Boar hunt or scouting for a record-book stag. While international flights, trophy shipping, and gratuities are not included, every other detail is handled with care and professionalism.

Whether you’re an experienced international hunter or seeking your next unforgettable adventure, the Anatolian Red Stag promises world-class hunting, rich culture, and memories that will last a lifetime. We invite you to the wild heart of Anatolia—where legends live, and trophies await.
