Soon after arriving in Prague I contacted a private company called Interlov Praha., S. R. O., which arranges hunts in conjunction with local hunting guides and organizations. With a minimum of red tape, they arrange for your hunting license and liability insurance, which can be purchased for one day, a month or even a full year.

Interlov will arrange for a hunting guard (guide) and also your meals and accommodations. The price of lodging depends on a client's specific requests or comfort level and on availability in any particular hunting area.
