The Hog Hunt Begins

Fresh off an unforgettable ibex hunt, we arrived at our next destination around midday. Following Spanish tradition, we took a short siesta to recharge before the evening pursuit. By late afternoon, the landscape began to awaken. As we entered this exclusive private hunting estate in the dehesa, it was immediately clear why hog hunting in Spain is gaining international recognition—the sheer number of hogs was impressive.

Groups of females with young were already moving through the landscape, but we were after something bigger: a true trophy hog.

Searching for a Trophy Hog

As the afternoon progressed, activity increased. Our friends from Missouri were thrilled—they had taken a magnificent Spanish ibex the day before and now found themselves surrounded by hogs in every direction. With the wind in our favor, we were able to get close and assess animals carefully, waiting for a mature hog with impressive tusks.

A Massive Hog Comes into View

From over 300 yards away, Alfonso—CEO and head guide of Top Spanish Hunting—spotted a hog that didn’t appear massive in body size but showed signs of enormous tusks. We decided to stalk closer, using a line of cork oak trees for cover. At 80 yards, there was no more doubt: this was the trophy we were looking for.

The Perfect Shot

The scene was picture-perfect. The hog was feeding calmly, exposing its tusks as it chewed. Our hunter lay prone, rifle rested, breathing steady. Suddenly, he took the shot. The hog collapsed instantly.

Gold Medal Hog

When we reached the animal, celebration began—always with deep respect for the game. We had our photos taken with the massive trophy hog, clearly a gold medal specimen. Since our guests were staying a few more days, we took the opportunity to enjoy more of what Spain offers beyond hunting.

A Complete Hunting Experience in Spain

The next day, we visited a traditional Spanish cured meat shop, giving our father-son guests a taste of Spain’s famous gastronomy. On departure day, they thanked us with sincere emotion for one of the best experiences of their lives.
