In the Pyrenees, stalking does during the winter months offers a unique setting, between snow-covered forests and silent valleys. When the first cold spells arrive, the herds gather in open areas and high-altitude meadows. This type of hunting requires good physical condition but also keen observation skills. This culling is part of a sustainable management programme for deer populations. The removal of does helps to maintain the balance of natural habitats and ensure the healthy development of herds for future seasons. Hunting takes place from December to February, depending on weather conditions, in the mountainous areas of the Hautes-Pyrénées. Each outing is supervised by a guide, ensuring an ethical and respectful approach to the game. For this type of trip, you will need to be equipped with a rifle, preferably with the calibres listed below:
- 270Win
- 270WSM
- 7×64
- 7RM
- 30-06
- 300 Win
You will also have the option of renting one of our rifles. We recommend wearing footwear suitable for the terrain, warm clothing, and bringing a rucksack with some provisions inside.
