Driven hunts – tradition, excitement, and hunting together
Driven hunts are unique events that combine hunting tradition with intense emotions and shared adventure. We organize them for groups of hunters who appreciate the atmosphere of cooperation, the sounds of drivers, and the work of specialized dogs. They usually take place in forest complexes where big game is found, although sometimes wild boars choose corn or mustard fields. Each driven hunt is led by an experienced hunting guide, supported by a team of drivers and dogs trained to track and search for wounded game. Elf Hunting Travel Agency provides full organizational support and takes care of every detail of the trip.
During the hunt, we travel in off-road vehicles or carts adapted to the conditions of the hunting ground. The hunted game is transported in a special, separate vehicle in accordance with hunting ethics. At lunchtime, we serve a hot meal in the forest, often by the fire, which promotes integration among the participants. The day culminates in a traditional ‘pokot’ ceremony (the whole of the game gained within a hunt is put on the ground in a specified order), during which hunting signals are played, and the king and vice-king of the hunt are chosen from among the hunters. It is a moment that our clients remember for a long time.
What does a driven hunt look like from the participant's perspective?
For our clients, a driven hunt is not just about hunting, but a complete experience that begins from the very first contact. After setting the date and place, participants receive detailed organizational information, including safety rules and the schedule for the day. We welcome them on-site with a briefing and introduce the team of hunting guides. After presenting all the safety rules, we go to the hunting grounds, where we start the hunt. The hunters take their designated positions, and the drivers with dogs try to move the game towards the hunters.
All this ensures a dynamic hunting experience. The entire event is conducted in accordance with Polish hunting traditions and applicable regulations.
During the day, we provide comfortable conditions — from transportation to a hot meal in the forest. Customers appreciate the atmosphere, professionalism, and the opportunity to exchange experiences with other participants. Elf Hunting Travel Agency takes care of the logistics, documentation, and the final closing of the event. The ‘pokot’ ceremony is not only a tribute to the game but also a moment of integration and a summary of the shared adventure. Thanks to this, our customers feel part of a tradition that connects generations.
