Driven Hunt at Encomienda del Moro – Mérida, Badajoz
The estate of Encomienda del Moro, located in the heart of the Cornalvo Natural Park, at the foothills of Sierra Bermeja, returns to the driven hunt calendar after almost a decade, reclaiming one of the most emblematic driven hunts in the area. Talking about Encomienda del Moro is to speak of an estate of recognized prestige, where tradition, landscape, and the abundance of wild boars turn each day into an unforgettable experience.
The estate features two perfectly differentiated slopes. On one side, a wide shady area formed by organic olive groves among wild olives that lead into an extensive pine forest, and on the other, a sunny slope covered by a dense thicket of rockroses and eucalyptus, dotted with holm oaks and cork oaks that provide food and shelter throughout the year, as the acorn harvest is not utilized.
The stands are all natural, carefully positioned over the main preferences and paths of the game, offering varied shooting opportunities that allow for a very entertaining and safe driven hunt, in an environment of extraordinary beauty.
Encomienda del Moro stands out for its significant population of wild boars, which find in this estate an ideal habitat thanks to the abundance of water, food, and density. This guarantees an intense day, with numerous shots at the elusive pigs, the true protagonists of the driven hunt.
The combination of a historic estate, careful game management, and a privileged environment makes Encomienda del Moro an essential appointment for lovers of traditional driven hunting.
Without a doubt, a magnificent opportunity to once again enjoy one of the great classics of big game hunting in Extremadura.
