Embarking on an ibex hunt in Spain is always an adventure, but this story is one for the books. It’s the tale of a remarkable ibex, one of the largest we’ve ever had the honor to pursue. With perseverance, teamwork, and a touch of suspense, we achieved an unforgettable moment in the Spanish mountains.
The day began with a mixture of hope and uncertainty. Our team had been scouting this magnificent ibex for days, but as morning broke, he was nowhere to be found. Determined, our expert scouters scoured every hidden corner of the rugged terrain, refusing to give up on what could be a lifetime ibex.
Finally, their dedication paid off. Near a rocky outcrop where a group of females rested, our protagonist emerged—a seasoned, weathered ibex seeking shelter and recovering from the energy-draining rutting season.
Without wasting a moment, Tracy and I began our approach. However, as with any ibex hunt in Spain, nothing comes easy. The terrain tested our resolve, and the ibex’s size and majesty tested our nerves.
As we got within shooting distance, the sight of this colossal ibex—his massive horns curving elegantly with a length of 36 inches and a thickness of 11 inches—made our hearts race. Tracy steadied the rifle, but the overwhelming excitement of the moment led to a slightly low shot, wounding the ibex.
The Search for Success
This was an animal we couldn’t afford to lose. To ensure success, we enlisted a team of top-notch blood-tracking dogs, specialists in recovering game in the rugged mountains of Spain.
What followed was a suspenseful search, with the entire team working together to track the ibex through the wilderness. When we finally found him, the feeling was indescribable. Holding such a majestic creature in our hands was a testament to the hard work and determination that defines every ibex hunt in Spain.
A True Lifetime Ibex
This ibex, with horns measuring an incredible 36 inches in length and 11 inches in circumference, will forever be etched in our memories as one of the most extraordinary hunts we’ve ever experienced.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Tracy for trusting us to guide him on this unforgettable journey, and to our incredible scouters, whose relentless effort ensured the success of this hunt.
