Hunting

The Bort hunting territory covers some 1100 hectares. Hunting is private, and entrusted to an association, Les Amis de la Forêt de Bort. The association offers the following activities:

• Battue hunting with hounds. This type of hunting is suited to large areas. The hunters are stationed close to the passage of the animals, in a less regular way than in classic battue. It's a deeply rooted tradition in the south and west of France, lively and vibrant. Shooters wait for a small pack of like-minded currents to launch a deer or wild boar and lead it to voice.
• Woodcock hunting. Specially practiced between October and February, woodcock hunting follows the bird's migratory calendar.
• Hound hunting.
• Deer hunting. Once a year in Bort, the Rallye Fontaines has been coming to us from the Indre region for over 20 years, with its white and black French hounds and large tricolored Anglo-French hounds.
• Fox hunting. The Fauvet brothers usually come twice a year to decouple in the Bort forest
