BECEITE IBEX
The Beceite Ibex is the second biggest Ibex in Spain. This one is located on the Eastern side of Spain, from the Tortosa-Beceite National Park going inland up to the Maestrazgo region. This Ibex fur is not as dark as the Gredos Ibex, but an old male uses to have very black chest and front legs, and the rest of the body is from a yellowish to a greyish-silver color, especially in wintertime. However, the main characteristic relies on its horns as they open sideways like a palm tree; just the tips of the horns turn wither to the back or twisted up. When looking them from the front, they look quite spectacular even sometimes bigger than they are, so good judging skills are needed.

THE HUNT
The extreme undulated terrain makes possible to find an Ibex at any corner, so it is important to be very cautious in order to not miss any chance. However, having a good knowledge of the orography as we do, plays an important role when planning our stalks because we can gain meters and reduce the distance without being seen. Hunting becomes real hunting in this place.
There are two hunting seasons: fall and spring. During the fall, the Ibex are in rut, so the males move all over the territory chasing females. Due to this activity, almost every group of females might have a nice trophy male. On the other hand, during the spring season males and females are separated, but all the males get together in big groups.

THE HUNTING AREA
Our main hunting area is located in the Maestrazgo, one of the most arid and rough corners of Spain, found in Aragon region. Despite of this, the good areas situated in this region are known because of being private lands, holding vast extensions and large Ibex populations. Our area holds about 12.000 hectares (35.000 acres), based on rocky hills, low bushes, canyons and streams that truly convert this area on a stunning landscape.
