Alentejo · Portugal

The Big Game
Hunting Experience

An ancient land of cork oak and wilderness, where red deer rut beneath the full moon and wild boar roam the riverbeds by night.

The Land

An ancient land,
a timeless pursuit.

The Alentejo stretches across southern Portugal in vast, sun-burnt waves of cork oak and wild olive — a savanna shaped by centuries of montado, where shepherd, hunter, and beast have always lived close. By day, the silence is enormous. By moonlight, it comes alive.

Our private grounds lie deep within this wild interior, far from city light and ceremony. Red deer rut here in autumn beneath the harvest moon. Wild boar move in restless sounders along the riverbeds and oak valleys after dark. This is not a sport, it is a tradition, lived as it has been for generations.

The Game

Two noble trophies
of the Iberian wild.

Both species move with the moon and the season. Every hunt is timed, tracked, and earned.

Red DeerCervus elaphus · Veado

The crown of Iberian game. Mature stags carry exceptional antler mass — 8 to 14 points — and are pursued at first light during the autumn rut, when their bellowing rolls across the montado.

SeasonSep — Feb
Best moonHarvest · Hunter's
MethodStalking · Stand

Wild BoarSus scrofa · Javali

Cunning, fearless, and abundant. Iberian boar are pursued through dense brush in driven hunts and from the stand at riverbeds where they come to feed by moonlight. Trophies regularly exceed 100 kg.

Or simply witness it.

Whether you carry a rifle or a camera, the experience begins the same way — at dusk, with silence, and with respect for the ground beneath your feet.

The next full moons.

Game moves under bright moonlight. Our hunts are scheduled around the full moon, when the montado is at its most alive — and most beautiful.
