Joe’s first game was the representative Gredos Ibex. Shortly after sighting the gun at 200 yards in the Gredos Mountain Range we spotted a numerous herd of Ibex about 400 yards away. With a powerful, cold wind blowing at about five-thousand feet we were lucky to spot two rams separated from the herd, feeding on a lower altitude. We began the stalk, at the beginning continuing with animal paths and then jumping up giant granite boulders.

The chamois hunt in Spain is an extraordinary hunting experience. The chamois, Rupicapra rupicapra is a species of goat-antelope native to mountains in Europe, including the European Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathians, the Tatra Mountains, the Balkans, parts of Turkey, the Caucasus, and the Apennines. The chamois has also been introduced to the South Island of New Zealand.

The fallow deer is a species of animal belonging to the deer family and in the case of the Iberian area, it was introduced in Spain centuries ago; there are several historical documents that trace back this species to the fifteenth century in this territory. The body size of the fallow deer in Spain is medium, somewhere between the red stag and the roe deer. Males can weigh around 90-130 pounds and females between 60 and 100 pounds.

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.
