EP 133 | Croatia Adventures "The Jewel of European Hunting"

42 minutes

In this episode, Mark Peterson sits down with renowned European hunting outfitter Mike Vanbeckem. With many years of experience guiding hunts across the continent, Mike has now established his base of operations in Croatia. Together, Mark and Mike reflect on some of their most memorable European adventures — from pursuing Eurasian Brown Bear and Mouflon, to the elusive Dalmatian Sheep and Kri Kri Ibex.

Their conversation goes beyond the hunt, delving into the fascinating world of wildlife genetics — including emerging research on a possible Dalmatian Sheep–Mouflon hybrid and ongoing blood testing to confirm the true lineage of the Kri Kri Ibex.

Join them for a captivating journey through Croatia’s rugged landscapes and the rich traditions of European hunting. Enjoy the Journey!
