The estates we manage are renowned for the quality and size of the fallow deer that they host, and each year they witness outstanding trophy hunts.
FAQ
When can fallow deer be hunted?
The fallow deer hunting season in Spain generally runs from October to February, although these dates may vary depending on the autonomous community and specific local regulations. Some regions may allow longer periods or establish specific dates for hunting males and females, seeking to promote sustainable management of fallow deer populations.
It is essential to consult the hunting regulations of the corresponding autonomous community for precise information on the permitted hunting seasons for fallow deer, as well as for any restrictions or additional requirements that may apply.
What is fallow deer stalking?
Fallow deer stalking is a hunting modality that involves actively searching for and stealthily approaching fallow deer in their natural habitat in order to make an accurate shot. This method requires detailed knowledge of fallow deer behavior and movement patterns, as well as stalking and camouflage skills. Stalking allows the hunter to consciously select the specific animal to be hunted, while respecting the principles of sustainable and ethical hunting.
How to stalk fallow deer?
Searching for fallow deer effectively requires an understanding of their habits and preferences. Fallow deer prefer forests with clearings, brushy areas and open fields where they can feed and rest. They are particularly active during dawn and dusk. It is essential to move quietly, use binoculars to locate them from a distance, and pay attention to signs such as tracks, droppings or bedding. Planning your approach with respect to the wind is crucial to prevent them from detecting your presence.
Where are there fallow deers in Spain?
Fallow deers are widely distributed throughout Spain, both in wild populations and in game reserves and national parks. They are found in several regions, including Andalucia, where they are particularly numerous in places such as the Natural Reserve of Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, as well as in Sierra de Grazalema. There are also important populations in the Community of Madrid, Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha and other areas with suitable forest habitats. The adaptability of fallow deer to different environments has allowed them to thrive in different areas of the country.
What is a selective fallow deer?
A selective fallow deer refers to an individual selected to be hunted based on hunting management criteria aimed at maintaining or improving the health and genetic quality of the fallow deer population. This selection may be based on the age, physical characteristics, health conditions or behavior of the animal, seeking, for example, to remove from the population those individuals that do not contribute positively to genetic diversity, are sick or are too old.
