HUNTING IN FRANCE
Red deer (cervus elaphus)
Stag at Le Boulay in the Sologne
region
Season
Mainly September particularly for stalking. September is the
season of roaring rut for the red stag.
Regions
We can arrange deer stalking at many places in France.
Excellent red deers are found in the Pyrenees. This is a wonderful
experience for sportif hunters - See our Mountain game page
Deer hunting in France
Stalking is the only technique used mainly in
September during the rut. Later in the year the hinds
and yearlings are hunted at mixed species driven big game days
along with wild boars and roe deers. Trophy stags and males
in general are very often kept for the hunts with horses and packs (see
our Horse & Hounds
page).
Price -
Depending on their trophy, stags are ranging between 760 and 5500 euros
- For an all inclusive offer with accommodation,
license, and guiding, please contact us.
Mounted stag hunts - Chasse à
courre
We can set up very attractive chasse à courre
experiences at a wide choice of places. Days trips
from Paris in the nearest forests of Normandy are possible but it is a
very nice goal for a short foray in the
countryside (see our Horse & Hounds page).

Shooting
