Birds:

Partridges – Red Legged Partridge hunts – Sept – February

It is has been a long time tradition in Spain. The Red Legged Partridge is a fast flying bird that follows the contour of the terrain.

They normally organize groups of 8 shooters for a program of three days shooting and four nights. The average bird bag for the three days is 1500 birds between the whole line. They normally do four different drives every day.

Each shooter has a loader and a “secretario” which carry all the guns and shells around the field. Two guns of the same gauge are very recommendable as the birds normally come in flocks. It is once in a life time experience for any avid bird shooter. The accommodation during the shoot is at the owners’ 14^th century luxury lodge only a 15 minutes drive from the hunting fields.

A common question is how do Red Legged Partridge fly? At this lodge they are described as medium high extremely fast flying birds! As they hear the shots of a shotgun, they tend to dart and dive and change directions! Partridge shoots in Spain are unlike English pheasant hunting where the pheasant will tend to fly higher at the sound of the blast and are considerably slower birds.

Archery hunting:

They also provide the possibility of hunting all of the Spanish trophies with a bow and arrow. Over the years we have had a significant amount of archery hunters enjoying all spanish game has to offer.
