Spanish ibex grand slam: 4 years, 4 trips, 4 Spanish ibex. A mixture of feelings, between eagerness, struggle, disappointment, excitement and satisfaction. Sometimes all hope is lost and in the next minute the opportunity rises out of nowhere. As we always say, when hunting you feel unlucky until the moment in which you feel extremely lucky. Because this is what free range mountain hunting is. And when you come to Spain to hunt for the Spanish Ibex Grand Slam you are to expect all this, besides all the added value that Spain itself gives to your trip: a place of culture, historical heritage and an enviable cuisine.

April is the best month of the year to hunt Beceite Ibex and Roe deer in Spain. The hunting season of the Beceite Ibex begins in November and it lasts until the end of May, but the hunting season for the Roe deer begins at the beginning of April until the end of September. As we already mentioned in one of our articles dedicated exclusively to the hunt of the Roe deer, the animal is not easy to hunt because they are very skittish. The only time of the year they are more vulnerable is during the last 2 weeks of April and the first week in May as they feed outside of the forest in the terraces where the new grains begin to sprout in Spring.

As we have already been announcing, December is synonym of “rut season” for the 4 species of the Spanish Ibex Grand Slam; so together with our December hunters we geared up our camera as December is when the Spanish Ibex are visible and in full sight all over the mountain.

An experienced hunter knows that in order to have a successful hunt you need 3 things: good weather, a good hunting area, and a good aim. We can´t control the first thing, but we do provide the best hunting areas and the third is on you.

At Caza Hispanica we enjoy wildlife and who loves wildlife loves mountains, landscapes and of course, the animals. For this reason we like to put together videos of our hunts from time to time. One more year Caza Hispanica has put together a short Hunting in Spain video of some highlights from our hunts.

Unfortunately we don´t always have all the time we´d like to film our walks, the animals that we see during our hunts as hunting is about being careful and precise, but sometimes, and when our clients feel comfortable, we film bits of our hunts that our past, current and future clients love to watch.

Normally before a hunter and his observers come to Spain we have already settled the general itinerary with them. But if you have ever been on a hunting trip you know that hunting is not a precise science and we depend totally on the weather conditions: precipitations, temperature, wind, fog etc. On the other hand we also depend on the “mood” of the animals. Sometimes they are not where they usually hang out and sometimes you bump into them in the least expected areas. Because, you already know: “That´s hunting!”

Lance and his wife hunted in Spain with us during 7 days and during this week we have lived many different experiences and learned a lot about the Spanish tradition, culture and cuisine.

Last week we returned from our first hunting convention and we did not return empty handed, we have returned with the joy of meeting old acquaintances, making new friends and contacts and achieving more work for our next hunting seasons. Apart from the Show itself, this year we came back with an amazing experience that our friend and client Bill Scott, the owner of the Star S Ranch, granted us. Keep reading to see pictures from the DSC 2016 Show and the Star S Ranch.
