The Beceite ibex is the second largest ibex in Spain in terms of trophy size, after the Gredos ibex. The district extends over tens of thousands of hectares. Most parts of the hunting parts are very well developed and have mountain roads that sometimes lead to the very top. A normal to good physical condition is required. Hunting takes place at an altitude of 300 - 1,600 meters. The hunting season is from October to the end of May. The best hunting months are during the rut in November and December, as well as in the spring months in April and May. However, you can hunt ibex throughout the hunting season.

It is a 3.5 hour drive from Madrid Airport, 310 km east to the hunting area.

Your accommodation is a traditional Spanish hotel in the middle of the mountains. The cozy hotel is located in the small village of Aliaga, from where you drive to the hunting area every day. Depending on the weather and in which part of the hunting area you hunt, it is about a 25-40 minute drive. The average trophy size is in the silver medal class. You can count on a trophy of 215-230 CIC points. The game population is excellent and we can hunt with up to four hunters with a guiding one-to-one.

Ronda Ibex

The Ronda Ibex is the smallest species of the Spanish Ibex. This species lives west of Malaga (Andalusia), in the Ronda Mountains. The horns of this subspecies point backwards, in a classic V-shape and are more similar to those of the Alpine ibex. Thus, the Ronda ibex differs significantly from the other Spanish species.

We are offering one of the best red legged partridge bird shooting in Spain. The hunting area has a size of 4.000 hectare and is situated 2 hours south of Madrid.

WWe are organizing 4 drives per day and a group of 6 – 8 hunters takes an average of 1.000 birds per day. We recommend you to bring a pair of shotguns. Each shooter has a loader at his side, who always has the second shotgun ready and reloads the one that has been shot.
