GREDOS IBEX Hunting Program
Location In the heart of the Iberian
Peninsula, toward the West, is the Central Sys-
tem, a long mountain range, formed by a se-
ries of mountains, among which we find la Sier-
ra de Gredos, located between the provinces
of Ávila, Cáceres, Madrid, and Toledo, and
which gives the name to this subspecie of
mountain goat. La Sierra de Gredos presents a
spectacular montage of lakes, cirques, gorg-
es, ranges, cliffs, crags, and moraine deposits, with the Almanzor peak, at 2,592m being the high-
est point in the whole mountain range.
Hunting Area
It is in this long mountain range where we can find
a lot of different areas for hunting the Gredos Ibex,
but any place can be comparated with the Hunt-
ing Reserve of Gredos. The Reserve almost covers
the called Macizo Central in Sierra de Gredos, on
the south of the province of Ávila (1.30h driving
from Madrid). This area holds a very high density of
ibex and very good to outstanding size of trophies.
The hunts in Gredos are very successful and we
permanently scored on a 100% success.
In the Hunting Reserve of Gredos there are two dif-
ferent areas: North Side and South Side.
- North side: in this area the hunting ground is
flatter and easily accessible. There is a large
population of ibexes and very high quality of
trophies. We recommend this area for hunter
with really bad physical conditions, bow hunt-
ers or people looking for gold medal trophies
more than 245 points.
- South side: it is a mountainous area but very
accessible with normal physical conditions. In
this area there is also a big population of ibex. We use to hunt by stalking in this area
with our customers with a result of 100% successful hunts.
Gredos Ibex
It is characterized by
its dark coat and,
along with the Ibex of
Beceite-Tortosa, has
the largest antlers. Its
horns are big and
ringed, with a rugged
surface, and shaped
like a lyre. The growth
of these horns is pro-
portional to the age
of the animal, adding one ring each year. The female goats have small, straighter horns. The mal
es have an average weight of 90 kg and the females over 40 kg.
