Small game

Several species are present on the domain: pheasants (common or Reeves), partridges (red and grey), ducks (Mallards, Teals, Northern Shovelers, Gadwalls and other migrating ducks), migrating birds (pigeons and woodcocks), hares and rabbits.

Between forest and fields, small game is hunted with pointers along forest paths spaced 20 metres apart, or in driven hunts with walking lines. Pheasants and partridges – acclimatised as of early June thanks to 8 open-roofEnglish aviaries distributed throughout the domain – are very clever about defending themselves and you will enjoy shooting at them.

Ducks are hunted with decoys surrounding one or more ponds. Dogs are a welcome aid for retrieving fallen game birds. Hunters will find hides available in various locations around the ponds. You will be able to take advantage of the exceptional quality of these high-flying birds and the diversity of our seven ponds.

Big game

Our domain is stocked with wild boar and roe deer whose populations we control to preserve natural hunting conditions.

Boar and roe deer hunting is usually done with a pack of hounds. The hunters are brought to the shooting lines and posted in blinds for greater safety. There are 8 shooting lines in the forest. This traditional hunting method allows hunters to experience the excitement of the baying of the hounds !... We can also offer you large-game cstalking hunts which Maisonnette facilitates by maintaining numerous clearings in its forest.
