This way of hunting is the oldest and most traditional Spanish hunting. This driven hunt are mostly for red deer and wild boar, but sometimes also for the fallow deer or mouflon.
All hunters gather up in the morning to have some traditional Spanish breakfast. Right after that, hunters will randomly be assigned to a stand. The hunting ground “mancha” is surrounded by hunters who are in their stands distributed in different lines is known as “armada”. Once the hunters are ready, a herd of around 250 hounds are let loose to frighten the game to where the hunters are located. Dogs and beaters will start moving through the bushes and forest towards the line of hunters but from the other end of the estate, several kilometers away. Often, a lot of game is hunted in one day.
