Title: Spanish ibex at close range !!
Post by: Jorge on July 19, 2014, 11:09:00 AM
Hi from Spain!!

A friend of mine was hunting pigs last day, when a group of ibex, the hunting operation is a free range area in the mountains of Cuenca, went to visit the place and to eat the pigs corn.

Not tags, but a great experience.

The cost of one ibex trophy can be very high, 4000-5000 dollars....

Very cool looking animal.  Is it hard to get a tag to hunt them?

I would love to shoot an Ibex, especially if I could do it in Spain!

Cool pics!

Habujohn,

Not, not really but you need to pay for it. Is not a draw or lotery system, only pay to the outfitter, and is expensive.

My friend has the hunting rights in the area, but  they haven't tags as the population of ibex is not very high in the place. Probably the next years will have tags available for them of for clients, who knows.
