About hunting in Portugal

Located on the south-western tip of Europe, Portugal is better known for its marine and colonial history than as a hunting destination. However, it offers some unique hunting opportunities, including the Iberian red stag, night hunts for wild boar, and the Monteria.

Portugal on map

Portugal is located in southwestern Europe, on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula, and the only country it has a land border to is Spain. Portugal is easily accessible from North America and other parts of Europe, with direct flights to Lisbon and Porto. The country enjoys a mild climate year-round, making it an ideal hunting destination in seasons when other European countries may be less hospitable due to weather conditions.

Price distribution

Hunting in Portugal is more affordable than with some other European countries. A 3-day red stag hunt during the rut, with any-size trophy included, may cost you under 3,000 Euro. The prices for Monteria may seem exorbitant, until you realize that they are a grand total for 30 hunters, and come down to under 1,000 Euro a hunter a day, including lodging and catering. Given the number of trophies and the no trophy size limit, this is quite a bargain.

Hunting methods

Red deer hunting is carried out by stalking, and during the rut also by calling. For wild boar, the hunters would wait for the full moon, and ambush or stalk them on the fields, to which the pigs can do considerable damage. And of course both species are the objects of the traditional Monteria driven hunt.
