One of the most emblematic wild animals in Spain
One of the most emblematic wild animals in Spain, after the Spanish ibex is the red deer. Deer hunting in Spain is a highly sought-after experience that attracts hunters from all over the world.
During the rutting season, which takes place at the end of September, the powerful roar of the stags creates an unforgettable and thrilling atmosphere for any hunter. Approaching them in the wild during this period is an intense and rewarding challenge.
European red deer
The European red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the most iconic and majestic big game species in Europe. Known for its impressive size, powerful build, and striking antlers—especially in mature stags—it is a symbol of wild beauty across forests, mountains, and open plains.
The red deer has a reddish-brown summer coat that darkens in winter, and during the rutting season (known as the “berrea” in Spain), stags can be seen and heard roaring to assert dominance and attract hinds. Highly adaptable, the species thrives in diverse habitats across the continent, from the Scottish Highlands to the Iberian Peninsula.
It offers hunters a challenging and emotionally intense experience, especially during the autumn rut when the forest comes alive with the sounds and sights of the mating season.
