Red deer, with a partner lodge in the hills

Four days of stalking in the Córdoba sierras, usually bolted onto a few days of dove. Run with a specialist lodge we work with rather than one of our own.

Córdoba · with a partner lodge

Stalking, and how it fits onto a shooting week

Red deer is the one thing on this site we do not run ourselves. It happens at a mountain lodge in the Córdoba hills, about an hour and a quarter from the airport, with a partner who does nothing else. We handle the booking, the transfers and the week either side of it; they handle the ground.

The stalking is spot and stalk across country that runs from about 1,500 to 5,000 feet — thick forest low down, open valleys above it, and bare tops where a beast can be seen from two or three miles off. Days start at first light and run to midday, when the deer bed down; there is lunch, a siesta that is not optional, and then out again until dark. High seats are set up for anyone shooting a bow, and there are horses for the ground a vehicle will not reach.

Almost nobody comes for this alone. The usual shape is three nights of dove at Sierra Brava, then four full days after red deer, one guide to each rifle, at 6,000 US dollars per Gun.

What people ask about the stalking

At a mountain lodge in the Córdoba hills, about an hour and a quarter from the airport. It is not one of our three lodges — we run red deer with a partner who specialises in it, and we handle the booking and the transfers between the two.

That is how nearly everyone does it: three nights of dove shooting at Sierra Brava, then four full days after red deer, at 6,000 US dollars per Gun with one guide to each rifle. Transport between the two lodges is included.

No. Rifle hire is 50 US dollars a day and includes ammunition. Bows are welcome too — there are high seats set up for them, though most of the stalking is done on foot.
