Dennis Hirschfeld Iberian Mouflon Sheep hunt
After completing the Spanish Ibex Slam, Dennis travelled to the Pyrenees, to hunt both Iberian Mouflon Sheep & Pyrenean Chamois. Do not miss his thoughts about this fantastic hunt in the Pyrenees.
One of the world’s smallest wild sheep, resembling a slim domestic sheep except that it has a normal coat of hair, any wool being concealed beneath. We hunt these little guys in the Pyrenees; they live even higher than the Chamois.
Ovis Musimon
Shoulder height (Males) 26-30 inches (66-76 cm). Weight 70-100 pounds (32-45 kg). Females are a little smaller. Upper parts are reddish-brown with a pale (almost white) saddle patch in the winter coat. Underparts, 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.
Steep, open mountains near the tree line. We hunt them in the Pyrenees free range. This is the epitome of an alpine hunt for those looking for a challenging, physical hunt.
September - May
November
Highly Challenging, not for the faint of heart
