The Spanish Ibex – Four Unique Challenges, One Ultimate Hunt

There are four subspecies of the Spanish ibex—Beceite, Gredos, Southeastern, and Ronda. Each species offers a unique challenge, shaped by the rugged and varied landscapes they live in.

Beceite Ibex

The largest in body size of the four, the Beceite ibex thrives in the steep, rocky terrain of northeastern Spain. Their thick, lyre-shaped horns and muscular frames make them a highly sought-after trophy. These ibex are known for their keen senses, demanding careful stalking and precise marksmanship.

Gredos Ibex

Hunting in the majestic Gredos Mountains is a truly classic Spanish ibex experience. This subspecies is famous for its impressive, heavily curved horns, the largest of the four ibex speciess. 

Southeastern Ibex

Found in the dry, mountainous regions of southern Spain, the Southeastern ibex. Their sweeping horns and elusive nature make them a prized trophy, and their habitat in the Andalusian sierras offers a breathtaking backdrop for an unforgettable hunt.

Ronda Ibex

The smallest and rarest of the four, the Ronda ibex inhabits the dramatic, rugged cliffs of southern Spain. Their compact bodies and shorter, more upright horns give them a distinct appearance. Hunting them requires precision and patience, as they are incredibly wary and well-adapted to their environment.
