Spain/Austria Ibex Hunts

[Mojave]

I hunted SE Ibex and Ronda Ibex in Spain with ATP. Would highly recommend. Shots were right around 150 meters. I would take my wife if I were going to do it again.

Just finished an Alpine Ibex hunt with St. Hubertus, and they did a fantastic job as well. Took my Ibex at 50 yards! If you can allow time in Vienna, your wife will have an amazing time.

Is Saint Hubertus a Hungarian company?

I need to call them and figure it out. They look like they are a good option.

Innsbruck and Salzburg are really nice. Innsbruck has the Swarovski factory, and they have a little Swarovski Disneyland type of thing about their non-optics products. Remember they are the largest crystal jewlery company in the world.

I'm not sure if they are Hungarian or Czech. I know they offer hunts in both countries.

Everytime I see a Swarovski store, I get excited and then remember it is jewelry and trinkets not binos/scopes.

Agreed massive killjoy. Not on the same level as having a transvestite smile at you, but damn near!

Currently in Spain with my wife and another couple, I could not recommend it more. Great country to visit filled with plenty to do and great food/wine/tours. I was lucky to get a solid Pyrenean Chamois, I will post pics as soon as I can.

Who was your outfiter?

So reading through this thread it looks like free range ibex hunts in Europe are limited to Austria, Spain and Slovenia.

Additional high fence options are available in Germany and Bulgaria.

Any others?

Legally hunts are only in Austria and Slovenia doable.
Slovenia has very limited Tags.
Austria has multiple choices for prime Free Range ibex hunts the are costly but much cheaper than a North American Sheep hunt.
Most Americans prefer to hunt the fenced Areas near Vienna for a Easy Austrian Hunt.
So far I know there are no Alpine Ibex in Spain maybe in a Fenced one.
Maybe there a Fenced Alpine Ibex available in in Bulgaria but I don’t know sure.
In Bavaria in southern Germany there are Alpine Ibex but the hunt is not open now.

I am not answering for DOGCAT, but I have known him a long time.

Austrian ibex prices range from about $15,000 USD to over $50,000 USD. The cheapest you will most likely get into is about $18,000-30,000 USD. Plus flights, export, and another $2000-3000 for the hunt. You will not pay the $15,000-50,000 trophy fee unless you kill one.

Switzerland shutting down was heartbreaking, it could be done for $10,000 for a smaller one.

The female alpine ibex hunts can be done in Switzerland for 3600 Swiss Francs. Austrian female ibex hunts can still be $5000.

There are three ways to make it happen.

Private land in Austria or Slovenia, probably on the waiting list for 3-5 years.

Immigrate to Switzerland, and move to the cantons that have ibex hunts, and get drawn.

Shoot one on a high fenced place in Germany, Austria or Bulgaria.

There are some federal state forest areas in Austria. Prices are the same, and it is a lottery to get drawn and you pre-pay the entire cost of the hunt. They tell you the dates, not the other way around. If you can't go during their 2-3 days you lose the cost of the hunt.

I have one Alpine Ibex Tag available for 2024
Class1 ( 10 years or older )
In one of the Best Free Range Areas in Austria.
But the Hunter has to be reasonable Fit to hike the Mountains. A true hunt in a unbelievable scenic Area.

Below are some Examples of Class 1 Alpine Ibex

 

[Northern Safari]

Those alpine ibex look quite a bit bigger than the largest of the Spanish species.

There aren't alpine ibex in Spain.
Alpine ibex is bigger in body than Spain ibex but for sure Beceite and Gredos ibex have biggest horn.
