German Gamazo Hohenlohe manages a countryside estate which has been in the family for almost 150 years. The property is unique in that it is a mixture of ancient oak trees and pastures (called a dehesa) and a Mediterranean forest, which is thousands of years old.
Because of the soil makeup and the harsh climatic conditions of Central Spain, the estate's most profitable land use is hunting.
Poaching is a perennial problem, and German relies on his dedicated gamekeepers and technology to keep the poachers out.
