Hunting Roe Deer in central Spain with Fran Cortina & Corju Hunting 4-8 April, 2024. Corju Hunting
You’ll fly into Madrid a day or two early and meet tosh along with his hunting party and head to the rolling hills to chase after these free ranging animals. They present a wonderful challenge and are exciting to observe. The weather will be premium and the rut in full swing. It will be a spot and stalk rifle hunting adventure. After the hunt you’ll head back to Madrid for another day of recovery and relaxation before heading home with the group.
Details on permits and international requirements with the Spanish Consulate will require us to begin the paperwork as soon as a hunter is selected. Travel and hotels will get sorted out at the turn of the new year.
