If you’re looking for an unforgettable hunting adventure in 2025, few experiences rival a guided Spanish Ibex hunt through the majestic mountain ranges of Spain. Whether you’re chasing a Grand Slam or targeting a single subspecies, Spain offers world-class opportunities for seasoned trophy hunters and first-time international clients alike.
In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know—from choosing the right Spanish Ibex hunting package to understanding what sets a reputable outfitter apart in terms of trust and success.
Why Choose Spain for Ibex Hunting?
Spain is the only country in the world where you can legally and ethically hunt all four native Ibex subspecies:
Gredos Ibex
Beceite Ibex
Ronda Ibex
Southeastern Ibex
These majestic mountain goats offer not only unique horn shapes but also stunningly diverse landscapes—ranging from the snowy peaks of Gredos to the sun-drenched cliffs of Andalusia.

Trophy Spanish Ibex Hunts: Scoring and Quality
Spanish Ibex are measured using SCI scoring, and depending on the region and subspecies, scores can range from 170 to well above 230. What defines a “trophy” is typically:
8+ years old
Heavy bases and strong symmetry
Seasonal rut activity (Nov–Dec is prime time)
At Hunt Nation, our guides are trained to locate high-scoring billies, often resulting in trophies 10–15% above the average thanks to strict quotas and low-pressure areas.
