Spanish Ibex Grand Slam hunts are classic mountain stalking hunts. Hunting days usually begin early in the morning, with the hunter and guides searching the terrain with binoculars and spotting scopes to locate a suitable trophy according to the client’s expectations.

Spanish Ibex Grand Slam hunting in Spain is based on a strict license system. IberHunting must arrange the hunting licenses for each reserve and ibex species before the hunter’s arrival.
To confirm your Spanish Ibex Grand Slam booking, a deposit of 50% of the total hunt cost is required. The remaining balance must be paid no later than 60 days before the hunting date.
For bookings made more than one year in advance, a 25% deposit is required to confirm the reservation, another 25% is due one year later, and the remaining balance must be paid 60 days before the hunting date.
If a larger trophy is taken, any extra trophy points will be paid after the hunt, once the hunting protocol has been signed before departure.
Trophy measurement is carried out “en verde” in the field by the rangers of the Hunting Reserve.
Injured animals that cannot be found are considered taken and must be paid for by the hunter.
In normal weather conditions, IberHunting works to provide a successful and well-organized hunting experience. If weather conditions prevent a successful hunt, or if the expected trophy is not found during the hunt, the hunting license may be kept and the hunter may return during the following two years, paying only the Spanish hunting license and insurance, plus the corresponding daily rates.
For the management of the Spanish hunting licenses and insurance, IberHunting will need to receive a copy of the hunter’s hunting license and identity card or passport.
