Southeastern Ibex hunt
After hunting in Beceite, Crystal & David travelled to Granada, from where they hunted for Southeastern Ibex. They got lucky and they achieved very big trophies, both ranked in the Top 20 of the SCI Record Book.
Southeastern Spanish Ibex is common across the Sierra Nevada in Granada, Spain, a large mountainous region across the Southern coast of the country near the sea.
Capra Pyrenaica Hispanica
Southeastern Ibex, also known as the Sierra Nevada Ibex, are quite small in body mass and light in color. Their population density is not as high and truly large males can be difficult to find, making it a prized achievement. Smaller and lighter in color than the Beceite and Gredos types. The Males’ horn structure is thick and long with an impressive backward curve forming a circle with the tips growing back towards the neck, horns 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.
Large, deep, rocky canyons, with an altitude that can reach up to 9,000 feet high; these are the highest mountains in Spain. The mountains of Tejada-Almijara and Sierra Nevada are a 4-hour drive south from Madrid and about an hour and a half from Malaga.
