It is in the territories of La Mancha that a beautiful hunting organization finds hospitality which has chosen as its home one of the most typical and evocative areas of the Iberian hinterland, rich in thrushes and many other species loved by more than one hunter.
The reserve in question is 250 km from Toledo and 280 km from Madrid, lives in absolute peace and tranquility and immerses guests in those scenarios all windmills and infinite Mediterranean expanses, which were the backdrop for the adventures of Don Quixote of the Mancha.
The visiting hunter will be able to choose between hunting thrushes, perhaps the most popular, but also hunting for sasselli, cesene and pigeons, experiencing large expanses of centuries-old olive groves and typically Iberian environments. The hunting grounds are almost totally devoid of grass and other vegetation and this makes it particularly easy to recover the shot down.
Hours and duration of the hunting day always meet the needs of the host, which the hunting organization tries to satisfy in any way. Thrush hunting usually takes place in the morning starting at 7,30 and continues until late morning, ending at 12,30. The hunters will take their places among the fragrant olive trees waiting for the thrushes to fly for the first daily meal. In fact, it seems they are particularly fond of the large black olives that grow in the olive groves of the property.
During the afternoon, on the other hand, new routes are exploited and the hunt continues until about 18,30 pm, weather conditions permitting. As a rule, however, you can hunt as long as there is light.
The territories that give hospitality during the evening are inhabited by low vegetation, uncultivated meadows and sparse bushes, not far from the areas where thrushes normally rest. What makes the hunting proposal of the hunting organization really exciting is the fact that the hunts never take place in the same places, since situations and areas are changed every day to make the same hunt more challenging and stimulating.
In fact, the organization has around 10 exclusive reserves at its disposal, which increase year by year based on the discovery of new areas frequented by thrushes.
It is good to remember that in the area that gives shelter to the hunting association you can shoot every day, without having to respect any hunting silence and that on a typical day the hunter will have the opportunity to shoot approximately 100 thrushes. However, only his skills will determine the final result of the day.
