Chamois, Red Deer and Mouflon
The Pyrenees Mountains in the very south of France not only offer great mountain hunting for chamois, but often also the possibility of combining this hunt with red deer and mouflon. We can certainly recommend the game management, hunt guiding, organisation, trophy quality and game populations here, and given that you can pamper yourself with some of the many delicacies from the French cuisine, a hunting trip does not get much better.
Beautiful Hunting Districts in the Pyrenees
For number of years we have had the pleasure of offering hunting for chamois, mouflon, red deer and roebuck in some fantastic districts the regions of Gers, Haute Pyrenee, Pyrenee Atlantique and the Pyrenees Oriantales on the French side of the mountains. Our experience has shown that the game populations, trophy quality and hunt organisation is all of a very high standard. The Pyrenean chamois, or as it is known in France - the Isard, can be hunted on both the French and Spanish sides of the mountains, but it is significantly cheaper to do so in France.
An Ideal Hunting Destination for the Whole Family
This is an extremely charming part of France, and even any non-hunters in your family will find lots of exciting attractions here. In addition to the hunting there is plenty of interest to see in this part of France. Where the country is at its “narrowest”, it is only about 200km between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. There are many exciting old towns and castles, such as the city of Toulouse, the famous pilgrimage center of Lourdes, the historic town of Pau and the tiny country of Andorra close by. Finally, sampling the local foods and wines produced in this region is worth a trip in itself. If you would like to spend a few more days here exploring this part of France, especially if you are bringing the family along, we recommend that you rent a car here.
