Driven Game Montarias

​

You could describe the hunting experience in Sunny Portugal as an unforgettable adventure, where you will be hosted and guided through the Traditional Portuguese Montaria (Driven Hunt).

 

The hunt involves a traditional Iberian style with the participation of a large number of dogs, creating a breathtaking sight as they chase game.

 

The hunt is a true test of skill and patience, with the goal of a successful Harvest, the aim to all have opportunities and create great stories, you or your team will be part of of a group of approximately 35-45 fellow hunters.

 

The animals you will encounter are wild and free-range, providing an authentic hunting experience without the constraints of fences.

 

The terrain of the hunt includes challenging hills, olive and eucalyptus trees, and diverse vegetation that varies between dense shrub-like trees for pig hunting and open areas with great visibility for deer hunting. It's essential to set realistic expectations as you immerse yourself in this wild and thrilling hunting experience.

THE HUNT

 We can't guarantee you will shoot a boar or a stag, but we will guarantee you that we will do our very best for you to do so. 

​

During the presentation, you will randomly be called to select a card which will indicate your assigned driver and peg number for the hunt.

Your designated driver will then transport you to the hunting post. Be prepared to shoot immediately upon arrival at the drop-off point. Multiple dogs will be used during the hunt, so it's important to maintain high focus and attention throughout. The game can vary in pace, being either very quiet or very fast.

You will stay on the same Peg for the duration of the hunt 3/4 hours.

It can be extremely intense exciting, or boring but then its wen something happen, as often you'll be able to see the game

movement in flight from the dogs even at long distance.

TERRAIN

​

We normally hunt one big drive a day, hence why the name Montaria.
