[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion toggle=»1″][vc_tta_section title=»Spanish Ibex»][vc_column_text]Spanish Ibex
There are 4 Spanish Ibex subspecies in Spain. Gredos, Beceite, Sierra Nevada and Ronda. Their main differences are the horns size and shape, body size and color. We focus our selection in Gredos and Beceite Ibex which are the most wanted subspecies.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Gredos ibex which is hunted in the Gredos mountains which lie about a 1.5 hour drive south west of Madrid, is the most classic. The mountains in which the hunt takes place lie at an altitude of between 1500 – 2500m in height. Gredos Ibex is the largest and darkest in color and has the largest horns. 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. The hunting season for the Gredos ibex is September – April. The very best time to hunt is during the rutting season in November, and during December and January. Excellent trophies can be hunted ( Gold, Silver, Bronze – points CIC).
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=»Spanish Red Deer»][vc_column_text]Spanish Red Deer
This deer is a different species from Central Europe (Cervus elaphus HIPPELAPHUS), but adapted to the Mediterranean climate. Iberian Red Deer is a smaller race, with stags weighing 220-500 pounds (100 – 220 kilogram).
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Compared to European Red Deer, the coat is not as thick and is somewhat lighter in color. Antlers are not as long or heavy, but are still very fine, sometimes with as many as 18-20 points (or even more) and a high incidence of crowning. Spain is estimated to have 350.000 Red Deers. Opportunities for good trophies are especially good during the rut or “roar” in the second half of September. ( from representative trophies to Gold Medal stag, over 180 CIC). Hunting season: From September until the end of February.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=»Spanish Roebuck»][vc_column_text]Spanish Roebuck
Another one from the cervidae family. It calls “The ghost of the forest” and is one of the largest game species in Europe. They live in the forests, smaller than the red deer, the antlers are particulary small with a characteristic double “V“ shape in each antler.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Best time to find an outstanding head is during the rut in late July and early August; a large caliber is not needed for these small animals, those in the .243 class being just about right. Shoulder height 25-36 inches (64-92 cm). Weight 44-81 pounds (20-37 kg). Coloration is rich reddish-brown in summer, with a gray face, white chin and black muzzle band. Rump patch is obscure. Winter coat is grayish-brown, with two white throat patches and a prominent white rump patch of erectile hairs that can expand under stress to form a large white disk. Tail is small and white, invisible against the rump. Normal antlers of a mature buck consist of a main beam directed upward, with a lower forward tine and a higher rearward tine making three points to a side. One of the best spot & stalking challenge. Hunting season: May to September.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=»Spanish Chamois»][vc_column_text]Spanish Chamois
The chamois is perfectly adapted to its way of life amongst the steep mountain sides, in particular it has evolved to have soft hooves that allow it to stand firmly in this habitat. The chamois has a very distinctive appearance.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In summer it’s coat is light brown, while in winter it’s coat becomes very dark and thick. It’s most characteristic feature are the black and white markings on it’s head. While both sexes have horns, which curve backwards, the bucks horns are bigger, thicker, and more curved than the females. The Spanish chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) is classified as a separate species form the other European chamois. In Spain there are two sub-species: the Cantabrian and the Pyrenean chamois. The Pyrenean chamois is slightly larger than the Cantabrian, rather darker and the horns slightly thicker. The average trophy size is 90 – 95 CIC points.
