IBEX SPAIN: Spanish ibexs information. Know our four different ibexs
SPANISH IBEX HUNT:
There are 4 main subspecies of ibex: Beceite, Southeastern, Gredos and Ronda in Spain.
Hunting the four of them is called The Spanish Ibex Grand Slam. Two of the 4 subspecies of Spanish Ibex, Capra Pyrenaica, are now extinct, the other two can only be found in Spain (the CIC recognizes only two Ibex subspecies). Anyway, there is no doubt we can offer four different head types for the hunter/collector in Spain: Gredos ibex, Beceite ibex, Southeastern ibex and Ronda ibex.
IBEX HUNTING AREAS IN SPAIN: Gredos, Beceite, Ronda and South East of Spain (Free Range, no fenced area)
