Southeastern Ibex - Capra Pyrenaica Hispanica, found in the Southeast & South Spanish Mountains. Some also call this species the Sierra Nevada Ibex. They are smaller and lighter in color than the Beceite and Gredos types, but larger and darker than the Ronda type. Southeastern male’s horns rise vertically and lean out and back in a scimitar form with the tips inward. The keel is smooth, making the horns almost round in cross-section. The horns grow proportionately with age: one ring per year. But horn size and shape vary considerably from place to place. Hunting is arranged in National Reserves and in private game reserves. You can hunt directly from the very well situated hunting lodges. Sometimes in that area a short drive may be needed (30-45 min.) or horse riding.
Spain, because of its privileged position and the quality of its hunts, is now considered one of the most popular hunting destinations of Huntin' Fool Adventures. The abundance of game animals, the variety of species, and the quality of the hunts and trophies, have positioned Spain as one of the most desired destinations for the great number of hunters who have relied on Huntin' Fool Adventures. The diversity of ecosystems, with many mountain ranges (Cantabrian, Pyrenees, Gredos, Beceite, Tortosa, Sierra Nevada and Ronda Mountains) and plains, are the living areas for the following hunting species: Ibex (4 subspecies), Chamois (2 Subspecies), Barbary Sheep, Mouflon Sheep, Balearian Goat, Red Stag, Fallow Deer, Roe Deer, Wild Boar, and Wolf.
Ibex hunting season is from mid-October to late May, but the best period is from mid November-December, during the rutting season. It's not necessary, but as it is with all species, when animals are in their mating season, it's easier to approach them due them being preoccupied. Hunting during the rut does not affect the success or opportunity ratio whatsoever. Hunting is arranged in National Reserves and on private game reserves (all free-range/fair chase). You can hunt directly from the very well situated hunting lodges. Depending on the hunting area, accommodations may vary. Some of the areas offer good hotel accommodations. Private exclusive guest houses in hunting areas may also be used. Sometimes in that area a short drive may be needed (30-45 min.) or horse riding.
