Hunting Information

 

The best time for roe deer hunting in Castellón Province is April and later in July during the peak rutting season. The hunt is conducted similarly to those at home, starting early in the morning by stalking, actively searching for roe deer in the surrounding fields, groves, and rocky terraces. Due to high temperatures at midday, the game rests and becomes inactive, so the hunt resumes in the afternoon. The hunting area spans an impressive 100,000 hectares, often requiring car transfers to cover as much area as possible. A team of professional hunting guides, who know the terrain and the local wildlife's behavior well, accompanies hunters throughout the stay. The vastness of the hunting area allows hunters to experience lowlands, hills, and plateaus, showcasing the diversity and beauty of the local flora. Small terraced fields alternate with shrubs, oak forests, and pine woods, enabling hunters to approach the game unnoticed to the desired shooting distance.

 

Travel Details

 

1. Day 1: Departure from Vienna or Budapest and arrival in Valencia. Transfer from the airport to the hacienda. If arriving early, there is an option for the first afternoon/evening outing.
2. Day 2-4: Hunting takes place similarly to home, with stalking in the early morning hours and resuming in the evening after cooling down.
3. Day 5: Return home.

 

Weather

 

The weather depends on the chosen month; generally, pleasant Mediterranean weather with warm daytime temperatures can be expected. Lighter clothing is recommended. In the earlier months, prepare for cooler mornings. The saying "there's no bad weather, only badly dressed hunters" applies, so check the weather forecast before your trip and adjust your clothing accordingly, both hunting and casual.

 

Equipment and Gear

 

Roe deer hunting in Spain is similar to that at home. Game is hunted at various distances, so be prepared for different situations. The professional guide is equipped with a shooting stick and high-magnification observational equipment (spotting scope or ultra-zoom camera), which they use to thoroughly examine the game and assist in approving the harvest for clients. A comfortable backpack is recommended for carrying personal items like a water bottle or a change of clothes.
