Our small game hunts in Burgundy

Even if you come across hares, roe deer or wild boar, we only hunt feathers. However, the abundance of rabbits in the area makes for some good old-fashioned shooting.

From late August onwards, the sky is full of green-collar birds, whose squadrons are reinforced by kites and teal as autumn advances. Red partridges race down the slopes as they do in Spain, while grey partridges and pheasants are hunted in batches, from one slope to another at any height above the line, as the English love to do.

From November onwards, we shoot the revered roosters in spectacular battues. In September and October, thrushes spring up in hedges and bushes rich in berries, and it’s customary in our region to salute this bird, which retains a place of honor in the picture.

Although pigeons can sometimes be seen in innumerable flights, their distrust doesn’t allow them to be fooled. Only a few connoisseurs manage to lure them with their decoys.

Reception

We welcome our participants to our estate, nestled between forests and plains, offering an ideal setting for a day’s hunting.

A fire crackles in the fireplace. Discussions begin naturally, with everyone reminiscing about their latest adventures. The atmosphere is convivial, driven by the desire to experience a day of intense hunting in the heart of the region.

Organizing small game drives

After the draw, the hunters are safely transported to the hunting areas.

The day is organized around several stalks. Each hunter is placed in a position selected to guarantee his or her safety and respect the game’s natural trajectories, within the framework of hunting regulations.
