Welcome to “The Driven Hunt”!

My life has been imbued with the love of the hunt and nature since my childhood. This has prospered into my greatest passion.
Ever on the prowl for a truly great driven hunt – we call them “Riegler” in Austria – I have been privileged to hunt on literally hundreds of estates, many of which have been in Eastern Europe.
As a passionate hunter I can offer more than twenty years of personal experience but also tap into the generations of expertise running through my family.
Based on my extensive knowledge, “The Driven Hunt” guarantees to let you experience unforgettable “Riegler” hunts.

You may choose a venue for your hunt from a total of 270.000 hectares across fourteen exclusive estates.
The majority of hunting estates I work with are located in Hungary.

The minimum number of guns taking part ranges from eight to twelve depending on the estate you choose.
“The Driven Hunt” experience delivers the finest driven shoots in real wilderness or in large fenced in estates (we call these “Gatterjagd” in Austria) for the experienced hunter.
Our selection of estate locations is always based on sustainability and careful, responsible management of the animals and their environment, a matter of pride in Austria and Hungary.
Being a responsible hunter is in no way contradictory to having a large bag at one of our shoots – the figures of past shoots speak for themselves.

We do ask for your understanding that the successful hunters in these listings remain anonymous – Discretion plays an integral part here at “The Driven Hunt”.

If you and your hunting friends should be looking for a perfectly organised “Riegler” experience our team at “The Driven Hunt” would be delighted to hear from you.
Very best wishes and “Waidmansheil” *
