Driven Hunt in Corrales – La Nava / Encinasola, Huelva
The estate of Corrales, located between the municipalities of La Nava and Encinasola, in the northern part of the Natural Park of Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche, is one of those hunting grounds where traditional driven hunting retains all its essence. Its privileged location, in the heart of the Huelva mountains, makes it a site of enormous hunting value.
It is a patch of marked mountainous topography, with extensive holm oak and cork oak forests, accompanied by a dense underbrush of rockroses, scrub oaks, strawberry trees, and kermes oaks that lead to a wide open area. An exceptional habitat where deer and wild boars find refuge, tranquility, and food throughout the year.
The driven hunt stands out for its demands, as the density of the forest requires the hunting packs to work hard to flush out the wild boars from their bedding. Therefore, these patches are usually driven with more than twenty hunting packs, many of which are among the most prestigious in the area, ensuring an intense and exciting day.
The stands are all natural and offer very varied shooting opportunities depending on their location. In the lower areas, spacious and comfortable stands predominate, with medium shots between holm oaks, while in the higher and more enclosed areas of the mountains, the shots are much shorter, faster, and more intuitive, offering the essence of the most traditional driven hunt.
Corrales is an estate that year after year meets expectations, with the presence of high-quality deer and good wild boars being common. Its location, bordering prestigious estates such as La Breña, Los Bailones, and El Casco, makes this hunting ground a true refuge for big game hunting.
Without a doubt, Corrales is a safe bet for enthusiasts looking to experience an authentic open driven hunt, with traditional flavor, great shots, and all the essence of the Sierra de Aracena.
