Spain – this is the home of the Iberian ibex.
\nThere are 4 huntable subspecies: The Beceite, Gredos, Ronda & Sierra Nevada Ibex. We have been offering these extremely successful hunts for many years and we can proudly say that all of our hunters have been able to shoot. You too can enjoy wonderful hunting days combined with the Mediterranean way of life.
\nSince the Iberian ibexes often only differ in nuances, we have put together extensive information about Spain as a hunting country.
\nBeceite Capricorn:
\nThis subspecies is also very popular and lives in the mountains of the same name
\nin eastern Spain near the Mediterranean coast. It is the strongest subspecies by venison weight and has the darkest coat of any Spanish ibex. In terms of horn length, the Beceite ibex can be compared to the Gredos ibex. In contrast to the Gredos Capricorn, the tubes grow straighter and spiral outwards. Characteristic of this species is the constant horn circumference up to the middle third, which tapers only slightly up to the tip. The Beceite ibex can be hunted from October 15th to May 31st. Thanks to the strict Spanish protection regulations, the stocks have increased so much in the past 20 years that even spoiled hunters can choose ‘their ibex’. The mountains of the Beceite (a mountain range in eastern Spain, on the Mediterranean coast) are easily accessible and also suitable for the less fit hunter. Horses are also used for hunting and this is of course far less arduous than stalking on foot.
\nGredos Ibex
\nIn central Spain, west of the capital Madrid, in the provinces of Avial, Toledo and Cacerres lie the picturesque Gredos Mountains. The highest mountain is the Pico Almanzor at 2,592 m. The Gredos ibex, one of the best-known subspecies, is hunted here. The bucks weigh up to about 80 kg and the horns, measured up to the whorl, are 95 cm long. Also impressive is the base of the horn, which can be up to 28 cm in top trophies. Decorative ridges, similar to those we know from the bezoars or the Siberian ibexes, are not or only rarely present. The cross section of a horn resembles a triangle. As with all bovids, the horn forms are not as varied as with deer or roe deer. As a rule, the horns have a lyre shape. In contrast to the lyre form of the cervids (e.g. the roebuck), the tubes of the Gredos ibex grow upwards from the base before they curve to the side after the first third and then turn backwards and upwards again in the last third. After the ibex of the Beceite Mountains, the Gredos subspecies is the second heaviest subspecies in terms of weight. An impressive trophy for the passionate ibex hunter that should be in your collection. Ibex are diurnal, the stocks are high, the guides are experienced and therefore two or three hunting days are usually enough to get you shooting. You can hunt for the Gredos ibex from September 1st to May 31st. All the while you have the best chance. So you can plan your travel according to your schedule and are not tied to fixed times.
\nThe smallest species is the Ronda ibex.
\nThis population lives in southern Spain in a mountain range of the same name. The mountains are not as high as in the other mountains in Spain and are therefore particularly suitable for hunters who are no longer so ‘good on their legs’. Even if the horn lengths rarely exceed 68 cm, this subspecies in particular is very popular with German hunters. Because the horn shape of the Ronda ibex most closely resembles the well-known Alpine ibex (albeit in smaller dimensions). The ceiling is mostly light brown and it is a fantastic sight when you have a ‘pack of old men’ in front of you. The following applies to all Spanish species: Thanks to the strict protection regulations and thanks to the high status – the Spanish king is also a passionate ibex hunter – all stocks are so good that it is very likely that you will get a shot. Hunting season is from October 1st to April 30th.
\nThe Sierra Nevada ibex – also known as the Grenada ibex – is the fourth huntable Iberian ibex species. It lives in the Sierra Nevada mountains (southern Spain, near the city of Malaga) in a relatively large home range. This subspecies in particular has a large number of horn shapes. In venison he is somewhat weaker than the bucks from Gredos and Beceite, a About heavier than those from the Ronda Mountains.
\nThe ceiling color is usually medium brown, but here too there are deviations to lighter or darker. Horn lengths of up to 88 cm have been measured for top trophies, but the average should be around 70 cm to 75 cm. This subspecies can be hunted from October 1st to April 30th.
\nSomething about the ibex hunts in Spain:
\nDue to the proximity to Germany (some people shy away from hunting in Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan), affordable prices and easy arrival with weapons (Spain is part of the European Union), ibex hunts are enjoying ever-increasing popularity. Especially since you can hunt four different species of ‘capra pyrenaica’ in four different attractive areas of this interesting hunting country. Ibex is mountain game, that cannot be argued away. But all of Spain’s mountains, as far as they are home to the ibex, are easily accessible. So you do not need to be an alpinist, a normal level of fitness is sufficient. And another important point speaks for Spain. Time is a valuable commodity in our hectic society. And since the ibex hunts including the outward and return flight last only 4 days and you can also include the weekend, you only have to sacrifice a little holiday. But believe us, it’s worth it. Describing the individual mountains is hardly possible and would go beyond the space of this information sheet. You have to see the magnificent landscapes yourself, you have to have stalked them to be able to reflect the beauties of these regions.
\nHunting is very important in Spain – King Juan Carlos himself likes to hunt a lot – and the hunter is held in high esteem accordingly, unlike some of our countries. In addition, there is the Mediterranean way of life, you see everything much more relaxed. And yet the success rates for these ibex hunts are very high and it is rare for a hunter to come home as a ‘tailor’. But then the hunting log will certainly say: …many missed shots!
\nFor ibex hunting, we recommend calibers in the upper power range, such as 6.5 x 68, 8 x 68 S and all calibers from the .300 group, e.g. (Winchester or Weatherby). Our domestic and common hoofed game calibers such as .308, .30-06 and 7 x 64 quickly reach their limits at shooting distances of over 200 m.
\nOnce you have bagged your ibex, speak to your guide about how the trophy should be treated. Would you like a head and shoulder specimen or are you only interested in the horn and skull? Your Spanish guide will ensure that everything is set up smoothly. The transport of trophies within the EU is not a problem, so many hunters have the preparations made in Spain. We will be happy to advise you and give you valuable tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
