HUNTING: In the months of end September through to end of January there are a variety of organized, licenced hunts happening in the area ranging from pheasant, hare, varous types of birds and of course wildboar hunting.  I don't know that much about it however, would be able to find out if anyone was interested in participating.
 
CLAYPIDGEON SHOOTING: There is a proper shooting range very close by.
 
MUSHROOMPICKING: Umbria is famous for it's porcini mushrooms and truffels both white and black which can be found in the neighbouring  countryside.  Truffel hunting however, is big money and jealously guarded so if you are into truffels the best thing would be to buy them at the various truffel fairs which happen all around October/ November time.  One of the largest fairs being the tuffel and fruits of the forest fair in Citta di Castello which is wonderful and where several restaurants in Castello change the menue and offer a large variety of courses all with truffels.
