Ibex bowhunt
Just came back from one of the most exciting hunts I have ever done.
Spend a few days hunting this gorgeous animal, the Spanish Ibex.
As all high country hunting, you need to spend hours and hours glassing, until, not only finding a nice ibex, doing it on the rigth spot for a good stalk. You dont want to lose all day triying an almost imposible stalk.
It is the rut right now, and we could make a beautifull stalk to a group of ibex. In that group there was the male we were looking for, a five year old one. We got in to bow range, and I was able to make a nice shot to him at 40 yards. I will never forget the moment when I draw my bow and...
We spend the rest of the hunt triying to get a small ibex for food. We finally connect with one, not an easy task since the are always surrounded with experienced females.
Everything was professionally filmed, and hope to be able to share the video with you all soon.
Can wait for next year!!
Good luck in the woods!!,

Looks like a great Ibex and beautiful country.
I can't wait to see the video.
My GOD!! You are a freakin mad man!! That is about the coolest looking critter Ive ever seen and what an amazing backdrop. Thanks for sharing it with us and maybe someday we could get a glimpse at the video as well. Congratulations!!
That's a beautiful animal Pedro, congrat's on doing it the right way! Can't wait to see the footage, and I wonder, was it filmed "Professionally" for a TV show?
Thanks!!!
Yes, it was filmed for a TV Show. Will keep you informed on how it progresses.
Surprised by the definition of the new generation of reflex photo cameras for video. They have even better definition than the video cameras! Strange.. they told me it is the future. Although, they also used a professional Sony Camera, dont remember the model.
When are you all coming to discover new hunting grounds?
good luck all in the woods!!!
Very nice animal congrats on a fine harvest.
