Hunting Information
The stay on the island and movement in the beautiful mountains reminiscent of the Amazon rainforest is a profound experience for any visitor, especially hunters. Heming has exclusive permission to hunt in the largest hunting area in Mauritius, covering 4200 hectares, where the strongest trophies are hunted, and where the official world record for Rusa deer was taken. The hunting area is only a 10-minute drive from the beach chalets where hunters are accommodated. During the rutting season, the entire area resonates with the loud roaring of deer, and many fights between the strongest individuals can be seen on the green meadows lying on the mountain slopes. The rutting and roaring of the deer are very similar to the rutting we are used to in our conditions. The hunt begins before noon, so hunters have time to sleep well and enjoy long breakfasts on the beach. The hunt is very similar to the European deer rutting hunt and is conducted by stalking. The professional guide gets the hunter close to the roaring deer at a distance of 50 to 150 meters. Each hunter has the opportunity to choose the trophy they are interested in as they will see many deer during the hunt. Since this is the highest quality area on the island, old and strong trophy males (exclusively gold medal) are typically hunted. However, hunters have the option to take exceptionally strong trophy males (high gold - over 34 inches). Shooters who prefer long-distance shooting will also be satisfied. The professional guide takes the hunter to places where it is possible to shoot across the opposite slope at distances of 300 to 600 meters. Local hunters follow traditional hunting customs, which imbue the entire hunt and celebrations after a successful hunting day.

Weather
During the hunting season from June to September, the weather on the island is very pleasant, with temperatures near the beach ranging from 26°C to 28°C and the sea temperature around 25°C. In the mountains in the hunting area, the temperature is slightly lower, around 22°C to 24°C, making the hunt very enjoyable.
Accommodation and Food
Each hunter has their own room to maintain maximum privacy. Both selected hotels offer very authentic and luxurious accommodation, providing the best island atmosphere. Each includes a spacious bathroom with a toilet and a terrace with outdoor seating. This is the best option even if the hunter decides to travel with a partner or family. Room service, daily laundry and ironing, and WiFi connection are included.
The price includes rich breakfasts and dinners in buffet form. If the hunter or family is interested in full board or all-inclusive, it can be ordered directly at the hotel, or they can dine in local restaurants outside the hotel resort.
Equipment and Gear
The equipment and gear for hunters should be similar to summer hunting, for example, roe deer hunting in our conditions - very simple. Since there is no possibility to import weapons to the island, hunters will rent weapons (BLASER R8 30-06, etc.) from professional guides, along with quality optics, rangefinder, shooting stick or bipod, and of course ammunition. It is advisable to bring binoculars, sturdy shoes, short and long pants (summer version), hunting shirt, etc. Essential items should include insect repellent, suitable summer hunting hat, flashlight, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, and lip balm.

Optional Excursion
Mauritius, with its beautiful mountain nature, pristine beaches, and fantastic ocean full of exotic fish, offers many opportunities and activities. Therefore, our tour is planned to allow hunters time for hunting and other activities. After two days of deer hunting, the following three days can be spent by hunters in a beach villa with friends or family, enjoying local specialties in the restaurant, or they can continue hunting in a group, go out on the open ocean to catch giant tuna, marlin, sharks, or take the family on a catamaran cruise around the island. In addition to these fantastic experiential trips, we highly recommend visiting the 8-colored earth of Chamarel nearby the accommodation with a Chamarel rum tasting, and visiting the magical Hindu temple of Grand Bassin deep in the mountains. There is much to see and experience.
Itinerary
The very stay on the island and movement in the beautiful mountains reminiscent of the Amazon rainforest is a powerful experience for every visitor and especially for hunters. Heming has exclusive permission to hunt in the largest hunting area in Mauritius with a size of 4200 Ha, where the strongest trophies are hunted and where the official world record red deer was caught. The hunting area is only 10 minutes away by car from beach chalets where hunters are accommodated. During the rutting period, the loud roaring of deer is carried throughout the territory, and many fights between the strongest individuals can be seen on the green meadows that lie on the slopes of the mountains. The rut and the deer rutting itself is very similar to the rut we are used to in our conditions. Hunting starts before lunch, so hunters have time to sleep well and enjoy a long breakfast on the beach. Hunting is very similar to hunting red deer in rut and is hunted by pirch. A professional guide brings the hunter to the guaranteed deer at a distance of 50 to 150 meters. Each hunter has the opportunity to choose which trophy he is interested in hunting, because during the hunt he will have the opportunity to see more deer. Since this is the best quality area on the island, old and strong trophy males (only gold medal) are hunted by default. However, hunters have the opportunity to catch also extremely strong trophy males (high gold - length over 34"). Shooters who prefer shooting at long distances will also get their money's worth. A professional guide will take the hunter to places where it is possible to shoot on the opposite slope at a distance of 300 to 600 meters. On the island, local hunters have customary hunting traditions, in the spirit of which the entire hunt is carried, as well as celebrations after a successful completion hunting day.
Dates
We are happy to prepare a customized offer and date for you.
Difficulty
For trips marked with this type of difficulty, moderate to moderate demands are placed on the hunter's physical condition. However, they are manageable for everyone who likes smaller challenges. We encounter this degree of difficulty mainly in mountain types of hunting, when hunting is mainly at the foot of slopes or in lower mountain locations.
