Hunting Tower and Fortress

Hunting TowerAs you drive through Hungary, you see many hunting towers in the fields where crops are growing.  They use these towers to hunt deer and wild boar.  Usually, they have a group of men and boys that chase the animals through the many forests toward the towers, where one or more men wait with guns.

The wild boar is hunted year around, and some of them weigh as much as 400 pounds. As we drive around Hungary, we have seen herds of both kinds of deer (one kind is small like the white tail on the east coast of the U.S., and the other is large like the mule deer in Utah), and many pheasants.  We have not encountered any of the wild boars yet – but maybe we will see one as we walk in the forest one of these days.  There is a business near Wild Boar in Hungaryour apartment where hunters drop off the wild boars that they have killed.  We have watched them unload the large animals. We were served wild boar to eat in a stew at one of the member’s homes.  We found it very good.

We found this large fortress after driving into one of the forests when returning from Zalaegerszeg one evening.  They used these fortresses around their villages for protection before they started building castles in Hungary.
