Stalking

GREDOS IBEX

DESCRIPTION

Typically, the horns are lyre-shaped with a pronounced curve and a spiral turn of more than 180 degrees. Horn thickness decreases progressively from the base to the very thin tip. While this is the typical Gredos horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.

DISTRIBUTION

Mountains in central-west Spain, especially the Gredos and Batuecas mountains.

BECEITE IBEX

DESCRIPTION

Typically, the horns are straighter than those of the Gredos ibex and have a spiral turn of less than 180 degrees. Horn thickness remains constant for half the length, then decreases toward the tip, which is not as thin as in the Gredos race. While this is the typical Beceite horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.

DISTRIBUTION

Mountains of Beceite and Tortosa in northeastern Spain.

SOUTHEASTERN IBEX

DESCRIPTION

Smaller and lighter in color than the Beceite and Gredos types, but larger and darker than the Ronda type. Horn size and shape vary considerably from place to place, with those from the Sierra Nevada generally the largest. Horns from Tejada-Almijara tend to be the most distinctive, forming a circle with the tips growing toward the neck like those of a mouflon. The keel is smooth, making the horns almost round in cross-section.

DISTRIBUTION

The mountains and reserves of Tejada, Almijara, Sierra Nevada, Lujar, Cazorla, and Muela de Cortes in southeastern Spain.

RONDA IBEX

DESCRIPTION

The smallest type of Spanish ibex with the smallest horns. Overall color is a light brown. The horns resemble those of an Alpine ibex, typically growing upward in a V-shape, then backward with a spiral turn of only 90 degrees. Horn thickness is constant for half the length, then decreases gradually to the broomed tips. While this is the typical Ronda horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.

DISTRIBUTION

Ronda Mountains in the southernmost part of Spain.

SPANISH IBEX GRAND SLAM

DESCRIPTION

The greatest, most unique and most desirable hunting trip in Spain that will allow you to collect all four subspecies of Spanish ibex.

For the Ibex Slam we normally plan for 14 days driving around Spain. The history, beauty, gastronomy, culture and the different landscapes will enrich your experience (this trip is an amazing hunting/sightseeing combo), as we drive  from place to place to reach  all four ibex locations to hunt them in their natural and native habitats.

We recommend coming during the rutting season. If you add the two chamois (Cantabrian & Pyrenean) to the Ibex Grand slam, you will collect 6 of the 12 Capra World Slam, as well as saying you have done the Spanish Capra Slam.
