This is the same area where the previous world record was taken. US hunters who aren't familiar with Hungary may want to know it is one of the prime hunting countries in Europe for wild boar, red deer, roe deer and mouflon sheep, as well as fallow deer. The country is due east of Austria, between Slovakia and Yugoslavia. The capital, Budapest, is situated on the Danube River. Hungary has a dry, continental climate. Average temperatures in January range from 0 and -4 degrees C (from 32 to 25 degrees F); and in July from 18 to 23 degrees C (from 64 to 73 degrees F).

Nyiredö AG, Estate Guth has about 20 miles of stalking trails, which makes it possible to do a challenging hunt on foot. The other possibility is to sit in traditional European high-stands and wait for the animals to come. The best hunting time for fallow deer is from the middle to the end of October.
