The hunt
What to expect.
A big game combo in France taking mouflon ram, red deer stag and wild boar on a single private 600 hectare estate one hour from Toulouse. Three hunting days, three nights, one Professional Hunter, three base trophies included, 11,350 € for one or two hunters. Organised by Univers Chasse Peche, licensed French travel agency, Atout France n° 031950034, APST member, based in Toulouse. Three species on one ground, no transfers between territories and no sliding scale on trophy score.
What a big game combo in France actually gives you
Most European combination hunts spread their species across two or three properties, with a change of guide and a change of ground between each one. Half the trip goes into transfers, and the hunter pays for logistics rather than for hunting time. This big game combo in France keeps mouflon ram, red deer stag and wild boar on a single private estate of 600 hectares, one hour from Toulouse, with one Professional Hunter for the whole stay and one flat rate covering the three base trophies. Three days, three species, no transfers and no sliding scale on score. Univers Chasse Peche, a licensed French travel agency, Atout France n° 031950034, APST member, with more than thirty years in hunting travel, is based in Toulouse and runs this hunt on home ground. For a hunter who has already done Africa and Spain and wants a European chapter that does not turn into a driving holiday, that concentration is the whole point.
The three animals, and what each one asks of you
The mouflon ram is the technical stalk of the three. Ovis orientalis musimon is alert, quick to move and usually found on open ground with long sight lines, so the ram is judged through glass for horn mass and curl before the Professional Hunter authorises a shot. It is a recognised SCI trophy and it is the animal that most often decides whether a party finishes the combo. The red deer stag is the centrepiece, included from ten to fourteen points and selected for maturity and symmetry. Those points are counted European style, on both antlers together, which is not how an American hunter counts a bull elk and is worth knowing before comparing photographs. The wild boar is the patient one. Boar are taken in the evening from high seats and towers along known feeding corridors, what an American hunter would call elevated box blinds, and the guide holds out for an old solitary male with developed cutters rather than the first pig that walks. That is selective ambush, and it produces a very different animal from a driven day.
The rhythm of the three days
The day on this French big game combo is built around two windows rather than one long grind. Mornings go to spot and stalk on foot for mouflon and red deer, working open terrain and woodland edges with your Professional Hunter. The middle of the day is rest and preparation, which sounds like a luxury and is actually the reason the evening works. As the light drops the team moves to high seats and towers for wild boar, and the evening session runs until legal light closes. The mixed method is what keeps three days from feeling repetitive, and it also gives the guide room to manoeuvre, since he adapts each session to animal movement, to weather and to what has already been taken. A party that connects on the ram early gets more evenings on boar. A party that struggles on the stag gets the mornings redirected. Bow hunting is permitted on the estate, with the reservation that close range opportunities take longer to engineer, so bow hunters should plan days beyond the standard three and raise it before booking.
The estate, the ground and getting there
The ground for this big game combo in France is a private, managed estate of 600 hectares, one hundred kilometres from Toulouse Blagnac airport and about an hour by road. The game is resident, free living and naturally wary, and it is on this same ground year round, which is why dates on the combo are built around the hunter rather than around a decree. For a hunter flying from the United States, Toulouse is a major international airport with direct European connections, so the trip is one transatlantic leg, one European connection and an hour of road. There is no domestic hop and no travel day lost at either end. The estate is self contained, with the shooting facilities, the lodge and the hunting ground on the same property. On the arrival day that means the running boar range, the fixed targets and the clay ground are a few minutes from your room, and a rifle checked on day one is the cheapest insurance available on a three species trip.
A licensed agency to organize your big game combo in France
Univers Chasse Peche is a licensed French travel agency, Atout France n° 031950034, APST member, fully insured, with more than thirty years of experience organising guided hunts in Europe and beyond. The Atout France licence governs the sale of travel in France and APST membership places a financial guarantee on the sums paid before departure. On an eleven thousand euro package paid in advance from another continent, those two lines are the difference between an organizer bound by French travel law and a booking handed down a chain of intermediaries.
Toulouse is home ground, which changes the nature of the service on this particular hunt. The estate, the team and the terrain are known first hand rather than through a brochure. One contact runs the file from the first enquiry to the trophy leaving the country, covering dates, the temporary French hunting licence, firearm import formalities or rental, transfers, the composition of the party and taxidermy afterwards. What is demanding about the combo, finishing three species inside three days, is said before you book rather than discovered on the last morning.

Your questions, our answers
Frequently asked questions.
Three days is the standard format and it works when the party uses both windows every day, mornings on foot for mouflon and stag, evenings in a high seat for boar. It is not a guarantee. The optional fourth day at 420 € with lodging exists precisely as a safety margin, and hunters crossing the Atlantic usually take it.
European style, all points on both antlers together, which is why the package specifies a stag from 10 to 14 points. An American hunter used to counting one side should read the figure accordingly before comparing photographs. The stag is selected for maturity and symmetry rather than for score alone.
The mouflon ram. It is alert, quick to move and usually found on open ground with long sight lines, so it is the animal that most often decides whether a party finishes the combo. The boar demands patience rather than technique, and the stag sits between the two.
A versatile rifle in the .270 to .30-06 class covers all three species comfortably. Bring your own, with a temporary import permit for hunters arriving from outside the European Union and a documentation checklist we supply, or rent on site at 50 € per day plus ammunition.
No. The boar are taken from high seats and towers along known feeding corridors in the evening, which is selective ambush, and it produces an older, more solitary animal than a driven day. The mouflon and the stag are hunted on foot by spot and stalk in the morning.
Yes, bow hunting is permitted on the estate. Close range opportunities take longer to engineer on three species, so bow hunters should plan days beyond the standard three and raise it before booking rather than on arrival.
Yes, an observer is 750 € for the trip in a shared room. The lodge has an indoor pool, a bar and a restaurant, and the two cottages suit parties mixing hunters and companions. Toulouse is an hour away.
