Hunting estate Size
--------------------
3 hunting estates totalling 14 500 Hectares privately owned area and they are all situated at less than 45 minutes from each other. One is a 8000 hectares, the second one is a 4500 hectares estate and the third one is a 2000 hectares estate. The biggest one is a more African style biotope with acacia thorn trees with huge open land moving up to splendid mountains.
The other two are more a primary sub tropical forests areas with thick endemic forests with water falls and rivers, green open land and hilly to mountains areas. All of them are fenced to preserve the environment from the animals grazing. It is illegal in Mauritius to leave the deer out of any fence and will be all shot to protect our last endemic forest that represents only 3 percent of the island.

Hunting season
-----------------

The hunting season starts in the middle of May up to the end of November.

May to end of June the antlers are in velvet and not yet cleaned depending of the season but the antlers are hard and fully grown...
The mating season starts in the middle of July up to the end of August in our 4500 and 2000 hectares estate and start in September up to the middle of November in the 8000 hectares.

September up to the end of November the stags are less impressive cause they lose 30 percent of their weight and their skin is a bit damaged due to the rut but if it happens we will replace the skin.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Arjun,

Does that $250 per day also include the guides fee?

Yes it is Thierry

Damn, $250/day for food, lodging, and guide services? That’s a lot less than I paid in New Caledonia 10+ years ago! Great deal!

And thats for you and your wife

A bit dense, I am, Arjun, but this hunt is on the island of Mauritius, yes? Imagine that rusa deer would have been introduced there. Where in relation to the airport or Port Louis would the hunting be done?

Dutch settlers brought deer to the island as a source of protein. They were kept in small enclosures. A cyclone hit the island and many of the deer escaped. Those original deer grew into the herd that presently lives on the island, or so I've been told.

Tim About 45 minutes from the airport.
