We have three richly detailed reports (
8919,
8921 and
8920) from
Austria, Croatia and
Romania, all filed by subscriber Paul DeCleva, Jr., on hunts he took this past November. His booking agent for the hunt was Eva Blaimauer-Schnopfhagen, who outfitted the Austrian hunt and accompanied DeCleva as a translator/observer on his hunts in Croatia and Romania. In
Austria, the company is known as Hunt Austria and is run by Eva's daughter Daniela Blaimauer. Their office telephone (they speak fluent English) from the US is 011-43-664-306-2645. Eva's direct cell phone is 011-43-664-9269462, email is
office@huntaustria.com. Because they are now expanding beyond the Austrian borders for their offerings, they have recently created a new agency called Inter Hunt. Their new website will be
http://www.inter-hunt.com/, but it was not operational at this writing.
Editor Barbara Crown first reported on the free-range hunts arranged by Hunt Austria in February 2008 (see article
1995). DeCleva first connected with Hunt Austria at the Dallas Safari Club Show (where they will be exhibiting again this year) in 2011.....
