Spain is approximately. 195.300 square miles, presenting big landscape contrasts between the North and South part of the Country.
We hunt in well managed areas and concessions where game is abundant and trophy quality is second to none.
There big game species available in Spain are the following:
Ibex Subspecies
DESCRIPTION:
This is the largest and darkest type of Spanish ibex with the largest horns. Typically, the horns are straighter than in Gredos ibex and have a spiral turn of less than 180 degrees. Horn thickness remains constant for half the length, then decreases toward the tip, which is not as thin as in the Gredos race. While this is the typical Beceite horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.
DESCRIPTION:
Along with the Beceite ibex, the Gredos ibex is the largest and darkest in color and has the largest horns. Typically, the horns are lyre-shaped with a pronounced curve and a spiral turn of more than 180 degrees. Horn thickness decreases progressively from the base to the very thin tip. While this is the typical Gredos horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.
DESCRIPTION:
Smaller and lighter in color than the Beceite and Gredos types, but larger and darker than the Ronda type. Horn size and shape vary considerably from place to place, with those from the Sierra Nevada generally the largest. Horns from Tejada-Almijara tend to be the most distinctive, forming a circle with the tips growing toward the neck like those of a mouflon. The keel is smooth, making the horns almost round in cross-section.
DESCRIPTION:
The smallest type of Spanish ibex with the smallest horns. Overall color is a light brown. The horns resemble those of an Alpine ibex, typically growing upward in a V-shape, then backward with a spiral turn of only 90 degrees. Horn thickness is constant for half the length, then decreases gradually to the broomed tips. While this is the typical Ronda horn conformation, other horn shapes may be found in this region and even in the same herd.
Chamois Subspecies
DESCRIPTION:
The pyrenean chamois is the biggest chamois specie in Spain. Shoulder height 29-30 inches. Weight 55-90 pounds. Summer coat is reddish, turning brown in winter. Under parts are pale. Rump, throat, lower jaw and front of face are yellowish.
DESCRIPTION:
Shoulder height about 28 inches. Weight 45-75 pounds. This is the smallest of the chamois. It also has the lightest coloration. The summer coat is reddish, turning brown in winter. Under parts are pale. Rump, throat, lower jaw and front of face are yellowish. Horns are considerably smaller on average than the Pyrenean chamois.
Deer
DESCRIPTION:
The Spanish red deer is a subspecies of the red deer native to Spain. Bigger than Fallow and Roe deer, their weight on an adult male can be approx. 220-530 lb / 100-240 kg.
In winter its coat is rough and thick of a grey-brown colour and a dark yellowish rump patch. In summer the coat is reddish-brown. Only stags have a thick neck and carry antlers. They start to grow in spring and are shed at the end of winter.During the rut, mature stags fight for the control of the harems and territory making a kind of roaring sound.
The red deer is adapted to a woodland environment but they also live in high altitude country. Mainly a grazer, but browses to an extent. Feeds largely at night, resting during daylight hours in thick cover. Their vision and hearing senses are excellent.
DESCRIPTION:
The Fallow deer is a subspecie of deer native to Spain. The body weight can be approx. 187-242 lb / 85-110 kg on an adult male.
The common coat colour is brown with white spots on the back and a black tip at the end of the tail.However there are some fallow deers than present different colour phases,Winter colour is darker. Does and fawns live in herds while males live in smaller groups. During the rut period males make a “snoring” characteristical sound. Fallow deer are grazing animals and prefer habitat in mixed woodland and open grassland. Only bucks carry antlers. These are broad and shovel like (palmate) from 3 years, growing in size with age.
DESCRIPTION:
The Iberian Mouflon Sheep is a pure breed mouflon. It is one of the smallest sheeps and weights approx. 88-154 lb / 40-70 kg. Upper parts are reddish-brown with a pale (almost white) saddle patch in the winter coat. Under parts, rump, lower legs and muzzle are white. There is dark neck ruff but no bib. The horns usually grow in a tight circle, with the tips turned inward toward the face and broomed back to about a three-quarter curl. In a purebred European mouflon, the tip-to-tip spread should not be the widest spread .
DESCRIPTION:
Aoudad weights approx. 200-250 pounds. The aoudad is a strongly built animal, with a short mane on the neck and shoulders and long, flowing hair on the throat, chest, forelegs (where it forms pantaloons or chaps) and tail. Overall coloration is sandy-brown with the under parts paler.
Native to the desert mountains in the Sahara region of northern Africa. In the 70’s, aoudad were released in several regions of Spain as well as private enclosures.The aoudad is a superb game animal, exceptionally challenging when free-ranging and difficult even where fenced.
DESCRIPTION:
Roedeer is the smallest of the deer in Spain. An adult male weights approx.33–66 lb / 15-30 Kg. Roedeer has rather short, erect antlers and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short , and barely visible. Only the males have antlers with two or three, rarely even four, points.
The roe deer is primarily crepuscular, or primarily active during the twilight, very quick and graceful, lives in woods although it may venture into grasslands and sparse forests. It feeds mainly on grass, leaves, berries, etc. It particularly likes very young, tender grass with a high moisture content, i.e., grass that has received rain the day before. Roe deer will not generally venture into a field that has had or has livestock (sheep,cattle) in it because the livestock make the grass unclean.
There is small population of roedder that inhabits the forest of Southern Spain called “Morisco”.
DESCRIPTION:
The Wildboar is one of the most abundant big game species in Spain. Adult Male can weight approx. 110-330 lb / 50-150 kg.
The body of the wild boar is compact; the head is large, the legs relatively short. The fur consists of stiff bristles and usually fine fur. The colour usually varies from dark grey to black or brown, but there are great regional differences in color.
During winter the fur is much more dense. Adult males develop tusks, teeth keep growing continuously and protrude from the mouth, from their upper and lower canine teeth. This is like a defensive weapon. The upper tusks are bent upwards in males, and are regularly ground against the lower ones to produce sharp edges.
DESCRIPTION:
It is an indigeneous from Mallorca Island. Adult males can weight around 110lbs/50 kg. There mainly on the entire west coast and north-west in the Sierra de Tramuntana and the Formentor, Alcudia and Artá Peninsulas.
The Mallorcan wild goat (Balearean goat) browses on leaves, twigs and weeds and are therefore highly destructive feeders. Able to climb trees and feed in the branches. They are diurnal and all senses are good.
The oldest remains of this species have been dated to 2030 B.C. by archeologists that have studied the fauna of the Mediterranean Sea. These animals are completely wild, the biggest threat to their existence being the cross-breeding with domestic livestock.
