CHAMOIS - Spanish Ibex Hunts

PYRENEAN CHAMOIS

This is a larger animal with a bigger trophy than the Cantabrian chamois.

Its name derives from the area it inhabits.

The mating season of the Pyrenean chamois starts in the first week of November. The best time to hunt it is from the end of October to the end of November.

It can also be hunted in spring.

You need to be in good shape to hunt it; shots are generally taken from 250-300 metres away.

We hunt on both private estates and government controlled lands, always obtaining very good trophies.

CANTABRIAN CHAMOIS

The Cantabrian chamois is an animal that looks like a goat, weighs some 35 kg and is very agile and able to pull away from a hunter in a matter of seconds.

Short reddish coat in summer; long dark coat in winter.

The horns are short, not exceeding 25 cm in height, and end in the form of a hook in the males, something which is less pronounced in the females.

The Cantabrian chamois is the smallest in the world at some 25 kg.

Its mating season is in November, the period in which the best males can be hunted.

It is found in the north of Spain, in the provinces of Leon, Asturias and Cantabria.

In general, aside from in a few hunting areas, you need to be in good shape to hunt chamois.

A shot at a chamois is typically at more than 250 metres distance, so it is necessary to have a good rifle and scope.
