Hunting

Lleida (Spain) offers four game reserves and a further four zones of controlled hunting that will satisfy even the most expert hunters. In these reserves it is possible to find such treasured species as as partridge, wild boar, red-legged partridge, rabbit, duck and thrush.
To participate in this sport it is necessary to be fully acquainted with the laws governing hunting in Catalonia (Spain) and the rules and internal regulations of the local hunting clubs. Possession of a hunting permit is a prerequisite for hunting anywhere in Catalonia (Spain). These certificates are issued to individual users and are non-transferable. They can be obtained on payment of a fee which is subsequently reinvested in the management, conservation, repopulation and control of hunting and habitats. There are various different types of permit:

• Hunting with fire arms
• Hunting without fire arms

The permits are issued at regional offices and at the Delegacions Territorials (Territorial Delegations) of the Departament d'Agricultura, Ramaderia i Pesca (Department of Agriculture, Livestock breeding and Fisheries), at the Delegacions Territorials (Territorial Delegations) of the Departament de Medi Ambient (Department of the Natural Environment), and at regional offices of the Federació Catalana de Caça in Lleida (Catalan Hunting Federation).
