HUNTING

There are 5 types of hunting that can be performed on the estates surrounding Herdade da Chaminé.
Partridge: Let us begin with partridge, an all-time hunting favourite. Local farms offer a tableau de chasse of 300 up to 1.500 partridges (flushing birds using beaters or bird dogs).
Wild Boar: To hunt this challenging species requires great expertise in movement, whether the hunter is on foot or on horseback.
Deer: A few deer species found in Portugal are considered impressive trophies worldwide.

Hares: The best hare hunting is also popular in this region, with specially-trained greyhounds assisting in hunting on horseback. Many lovers of this kind of hunting prefer this region. The season is open on weekends, from October to February.
Fox: With Santo Humberto equipment we are able to practice fox hunting on horseback locally, following all the English rules.
