What is the Gredos Ibex?
The Gredos ibex (Capra pyrenaica victoriae) is the tiara of the four Spanish ibex subspecies, with stunner good-lookin’ horns curled back and out in a beauty sweep. They’re exclusive to west-central Madrid’s Gredos Mountains. These lovely animals have high-country, rough-country range, and are the Gredos ibex well worth the effort. Time of year to hunt ibex is October through May, and the best weather and horn quality is normally in November and March. Whether your goal is representative trophy or record-book ibex, each hunt will be tailored to your dreams and stamina.
