A typical Spanish red-legged partridge hunt is
when beaters drive the birds
Enabling you to shoot hundreds of them
from one position.
You will be assisted by people called ”secretarios”
who supply partridges, load the guns, and pick up the birds while
providing all kinds of comforts.
This method of hunting is called
“ojeo” in Spanish.

Spanish Driven Partridges
We also offer driven red legged partridge, pheasant and ducks shooting in the Balearic Islands (Palma de Mallorca), which can be combined with hunting on the Balear goat.
Once the hunt is finished you will enjoy a typical Spanish lunch "migas" and then, if you like, you can go walk-hunting accompanied by game handlers and well trained dogs.
We own special hunting areas with small lowlands located on the medium
size mountain chains where it is possible to make great shoots.
I am Vasyl Goshovskyy, knifemaker from the
Ukraine, actually living in Torreblanca - Spain. Since many years I’m
a full time cutom knifemaker, allways searching for perfect grind
lines, polishings and ergonomics.
I do stock removal knives
from first class stainless steels as ATS34, RWL34, 440C, Böhler
N-690 or carbon steels as D2.
I hope you enjoy my knives, as I do making
them.
Lifetime
Guarantee
I offer for my knives a lifetime
guarantee. If one of my knives will break using it as a cutting tool,
I will replace or fix the knife.
Steels
D2
is a carbon steel with a high content of chrome (12%),with these 12%
of chrome it is much more rust resistant than other traditional
carbon steels. D2 is highly wear-resistant. The combination of this
wear-resistance, being nearly stainless and a hardeness of over 60HRC
makes him a perfect blade steel.
ATS-34 is a high quality
stainless steel, used by many knifemakers of the 90's. ATS-34 is the
japanese version (Hitachi) of 154-CM by Crucible, the prefered steel
of Bob Loveless. Hardened to about 60 - 61HRC, it permits a very
good, long lasting edge and even with this hardness it's still
elastic.
Böhler N690 has 17% of chrome and a high content of
molybdaneum. It has added vanadium and cobalt, wich act as a grain
refiner and so permit a very fine and long lasting edge, with a very
high resistance to stain. Hardness 59 - 60HRC.
RWL34 from the
swedish company Damasteel, is a stainless powder metallurgic steel
(CPM) with a very fine and homogenic grain and hardness between 60HRC
and 61HRC.This steel permits an impressive mirrow polish.
The
well known 440C steel was the favorite knifemaker steel in the 80's.
Having 1,04% of carbon, it's not as resistant to rust as 440A or B,
but permits a much finer edge and higher hardness. 440C is more rust
resistant than ATS-34 but will not hold the edge as well and is a
little more brittle than ATS-34. Hardness 59HRC.
Spain has the largest variety of big game trophy animals in all of Europe.

horns are smooth with wrinkles at the base. Aoudads form herds of
adult males an females guided by a dominant male. Old males and
pregnant females are solitary. Well suited to the mountain desert

live in smaller groups. During the rut bucks spread out forming
harems and fighting furiously for its control. Fallow deer are grazing
animals and prefer habitat in mixed woodland and open grassland. Only
bucks carry antlers. These are broad and shovel like, growing in size
with age.
GEOGRAPHIC RANGE : All national territory in wooded areas.

SPANISH REED DEER
SPANISH REED DEER CHARACTERISTICS
The Spanish Red deer is one of the largest deer species. In winter its
coat is rough and thick of a grey-brown colour and a darker yellowish
rump patch. In summer the coat is reddish-brown. Only stags have a
thick neck and carry antlers. They start to grow in spring and are
shed at the end of winter. Antlers grow huge with a rough surface and
in case of the largest stags, the fourth or fifth tip form at the end a
basket. Red deer usually stay in same sex group for the most of
the year. During the rut, mature stags fight for the control of the
harems. Rival stags challenge opponents by belling and walking side by
side. If neither stag backs down, a crash of antlers can occur,
sometimes causing serious injuries. Only mature stags hold a harem and
during that time they rarely feed, loosing up to 20% of the body
weight.
GEOGRAPHIC RANGE All National Territory and National Parks.
WILD BOAR
WILD BOAR CHARACTERISTICS
Wild boar is found all over Spain. This animal game can be taken while
you are hunting on other species, but special hunts can be arranged
also. The best way to hunt it is waiting for it in its feeding areas
at night, when these animals are the most active. We have territories
which due to their special characteristics boast extensive wild boar
populations and therefore provide the best opportunities to obtain
great trophies. Wild boar hunting in driven hunts (10 or 15 hunters)
is the most popular way of hunting on this animal among Spanish people.
GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
All National Territory.
ROE DEER
ROE DEER CHARACTERISTICS The Roe Deer is a relatively small deer, with a body
length of 3.1–4.4 ft, a shoulder height of 2.1–2.5 ft, and a weight of
33–66 lb. It has rather short, erec antlers
and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in
summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter
undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short 0.8–1.2 in,
and barely visible. Only the males have antlers. The first and second
set of antlers are unbranched and short or 2.0–4.7 in, while older
bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 8–10 in long with two or
three, rarely even four, points. When the male's antlers begin to
regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which
disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may
speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their
antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season.
Unlike most cervids
