The hunting weekend started Saturday morning with a small “montaria†(driven hunt) (just eighteen hunters) in one hunting lease and ended with a red partridge hunt on Sunday on a second lease.
The result of the “montaria†was not that bad: 3 boars (one very good trophy – my bag) but at least 2 other good ones managed to outsmart the dogs. About forty-five shots were fired. Unfortunately I have no pics at the moment (no digital camera available!)
In between, and profiting of the fact that it was almost full moon, I had time to do some of the hunting I love the best: high seat hunting by moonlight!
And I got lucky last Saturday, around midnight! This guy (my first mufflon!) came to the bait!

Weidmann's Heil,

it seems that your season has started nicely!

Nice, I keep telling the wife we are in Portugal
and Spain at the WRONG time of year.

Invader66,

It´s never the WRONG time of the year when you are in Portugal! After all we can hunt wild boar and a few other game (like moufflon! ) all year round!
Next time you come to Portugal just call on me!
