Any Huntinglife Members From Majorca, Spain.? Or Any Friends Living Out There That Hunt ?

[Guest vin]

Does anyone have any contacts out there ?

 

I have been many times and seen dogs on backs off pickups but always been a bit afraid to speak to some hard looking Mallorcan type character whilst looking like a Twonker in my flipflops and socks.whilst standing there in my Mankini covered in baby oil.. way too 1980s Deliverance for me...lol..

 

I'm told there is a large rabbit population ? I've never seen any.

 

I might be paying a little visit later in the year and would love a change of scenery and look into the real rural life out there.

 

I do have mates out there,but none that have any interest in sport .

Just ask about mate,,you be suprised who hunts,,,,I had been at my job 2 years and one day I mentioned somthing about being a keeper as a young lad,,,,turned out my boss was in a syndicate shoot in the north of ibiza

Majorca is a long way from Mushroom and his stomping grounds... I'm told Majorca has a lot of traditional hunting including ferreting. . i've seen the ibiza vids..But none in Majorca...except a few podenco clips.. no ferreting.

 

Anyone got any links to any forums/sites etc etc ?

 

Funny you should say that Tomo I remember one of the young lads working over there years ago who kept dogs back home for hunting boar.But that was on the mainland..

 

I would be interested to know what the quarries are over on the island of Majorca. and when the hunting seasons are etc etc...whats the laws about mooching about with a dog and a ferret ?

I was about an hour from alicante a few years ago bored out of my brains and one morning met a few lads in a pick up unloading hound types and other whippet looking dogs, I spoke to them as best I could I they let me tag along!

 

I didn't come home till dusk, my Mrs thought I got abducted!!

I know the hill you walked up...it looks like a nice easy stroll till you half way up and realize its massive...lol...Alcudia was a nice place back then...even though it was built on a mosquito swamp..lol

I've been shooting at Cap Formentor. Some of the locals also hunted with podenco types. A very friendly bunch. It's worth a trip just for the scenery alone, and ask about

went up there many times for a nice scenic drive with the ladies..used to go and watch the falcons. . . I never ventured off grid anywhere ...but that's my plan next time round.

used to stay in Pollensa..have a few mates still living there now... But they fish and drink beer. do a bit of diving etc etc.. dogs and bunnies are not on their agenda.

Alectoris is in Zaragoza Aragon basically the next region to me and a million miles from the balerics.

 

Depending what you want it is really difficult to get in with the right people esp in cataluña ask as katchum said but be prepared for a language barrier

 

The Spanish are generally a pretty closed miserable bunch esp with galgos and running dogs but once in, in for life
