Iberian Fallow Deer
Dama dama
With palmate antlers and a spotted coat, during the autumn groan across dehesas and Mediterranean woods.
The fallow deer (Dama dama) stands out for its palmate, shovel-shaped antlers and spotted coat, which darkens in winter. It lives in mixed woodlands and meadows of Castilla y León, Extremadura and Andalusia. The best time is the groan, from late September to October, when bucks are most active and vocal and the antlers fully developed. Hunted by stalking or driven, it pairs well with red deer or wild boar.

Questions about this hunt
When is fallow deer hunted?
The prime moment is the groan, from late September to October, when bucks defend their stands. It is also hunted on driven days through the winter.
Can it be combined with the red stag rut?
It is the quintessential autumn combination: the rut and the groan overlap, and both species can be hunted in one trip based near Madrid.
What do I need to bring?
Little more than your personal gear: licence, insurance, firearm rental, lodging and transfers are all handled by us.
We design your hunt bespoke. Your outfitter details the proposal privately.
