No travel restrictions on foreign hunters to Hungary!
The legislation has been amended by the Orbán cabinet, according to the provisions that came into force on the 5th of September,
hunters come not only from the V4 country but also from other foreign countries.
According to the sononline, however, older foreign hunters are wary, preferring to wait out due to high-rising coronavirus cases.
As we wrote last Friday, the Hungarian government has decided to exempt business trips from recently introduced travel restrictions to ensure the continuity of Hungarian economy, details HERE.

This is not news….this is hysteria and anti-hunting.
Hunting trips are typically scheduled a year in advance. The hunters are outside and very socially distant from each other. It is ridiculous to stir fear about this.
The number of cases testing positive is also being used to promote hysteria. We know that this virus is only dangerous to the elderly and those with comorbidities….not to the healthy.
It is time for logical thought, not emotional hysteria fanned by a news media that abandoned providing facts and enjoys sensationalizing stories.
The first comment, by Erik Elcrow, which of course I do respect since it is a politely expressed opinion, looks to me like one of Trump’s twits, a mix of superficiality, presumption, ignorance of the facts, carelessness.
The grossest and falsest remark is about the virus being dangerous only to elders and to those with conditions.
It is because of fake stuff like this, which circulates abundantly in the internet, that more people, many young and healthy, get infected and die.
P.s. if I may add a personal request:
please, remove that list of countries from the bottom of your daily Covid updates. That list only reinforces the wrong idea among Hungarians that Hungary has very few infections in comparison with other nations.
Making a list of countries with number of registered infections does not make any sense at all, unless it is based on 1. the percentage of positives per number of inhabitants 2. The number of tests performed.
Let us not forget, for instance, that India has a population of almost 1.4 billion people, and that Hungary conducts very few, and sometimes unreliable, virus tests.
Best regards.
Erik is correct.
Mario is deluded.
How long will this take for people to use their own reasoning faculties and realize this is an overhyped scaremongering scam?
Yoohoo! Hallo! Anybody there?
Sweden won.
The end.
…because hunters are covid immune… someone in the government (we know who the big hunter is) decided to add these people as exceptions to the rule… very well thought through and organized… I will ask my foreign friends when they come to say they are hunters too: pigeon hunters…
