Hunting in Mauritius

 

Le Domaine des 7 Vallées hunting reserve is situated at Nouvelle France on the central plateau of Mauritius. More than 2500 deer and wild boars live freely on 4000 hectares of the forest. The Mauritian deer (Cervus Timorensis Russa) were introduced on the island in 1639 by the Dutch.
As for the wild boars, historians are not that sure, but they think that it was the Portuguese who at the beginning of the 16th century introduced the wild pigs.

Stalk hunting is one of the hunting methods the more commonly used, but we can also organize hunting in small mobile groups, posted on the matadors (Posts of observation).

The Domaine will supply you with the ammunition and the rifles (Tikka, Mannlicher, and Sako & Savage); all equipped with Schmidt & Bender telescopic sights. The hunters will be taken in charge by the experimented guides who will provide the necessary security elements and the smooth running of the hunt.
