Feral sheep and ibex ? Me bollix we do.

Unbelievable how gullible some folk are , I was half expecting to see pat short and Johnny Connor guiding him onto a Hereford bull !

The only reason that doesn’t happen is because cattle are individually registered and tagged and the Dept of Agriculture takes a very dim view of people who don’t comply with the regulations.

Don’t you mean “Irish buffalo”…?

A fool and his money will soon be parted in rural Ireland

No feral or ibex here in Ireland I can assure you and I guide in Ireland don’t buy into this crap they are feral goats or old Irish goats as they are known now as. I just stick to deer mainly. I took out one guy this year on goats as he never shot a goat and needed one to tick something off the buck list.

Irish Ibex, native only to Ireland. They would be, wouldn’t they?
Still a bloody goat.

This whole idea makes me laugh - Irish Ibex are about as real as leprechauns but if American hunters are gullible determined enough to pay top dollar to shoot Patrick’s tame old billygoat then there is an obvious temptation for some less honest types to provide exactly what the eejits customers want. I imagine Unicorns will be next….
Sadly this “exciting new aspect of hunting” has recently found it’s way to Scotland - creating a premium for suitable animals - in the livestock sales…..

 

[IrishStalker]

It’s unbelievable what they’d sell nothing beats that Jacob sheep

Yep!
Irish Blue Ibex or Murphy’s oul goat gone feral?
Check it out at 8:45 and 10:18 mins in - you decide. I know what I think….

Farmer Joe down the road sold his goats for a few pints.

Why not buy a truck load of rein deer for a christmas hunt?

A quote from a well-placed source…
“That outfitter is clearly a clown pushing what doesn’t exist here and to make it worse the boys coming over didn’t even do there homework and look into what there supposed to be hunting.”.
Couldn’t have put it better meself!

If you can buy a worn out old mountainy ram for buttons at a mart in Tipperary, throw him out on a Wicklow hillside and get paid a grand for the privilege of stalking it, who’s the gobshite?

Irish Ibex...................................... now Iv'e heard it all. Next thing they will try and flog Leprechorn hunting.

Stick to Scotland. As has been suggested, Colin Lockerbie having a good reputation. I only undertake stalking on stags in Scotland, and then a full week, and I am booked up this year.

I hope you find the right person and have a great time.

Get yourself out on the hinds in Scotland matey, best cost wise and the terrain will put you on the back heel for sure
and you will love it and want to go back
Hind culls give you the blowout on raw hill stalking at a reasonable cost, advertise on here there some good guys who may be able to help

Good luck I wish I was coming with you

I am searching big goat trophys if someone sell them.

 

[suburban bushwacker]

scotland - Never been with Colin Lockerbie but I've met many people who have good things to say about him. The other option for goats is Alan and his son Brice at @Gallowaycountrysports they have roe and reds, and all kinds of wing shooting. Its Alan's own B&B which I really like.
If its a thorough blowing out of the cobwebs you're after James @Hind and Sika will march you over some challenging terrain and has some big heads too.

Ibex in Ireland ?
Is that really a thing now?

Yes I think someone’s been on the Guinness

 

[Bo Diddley]

True Irish Ibex.. now that is Marketing & Packaging Perfection

 

[Sika98k]

Apparently not, following articles in the papers there were investigations by both NPWS and Dept Agriculture.
Their official position is that no laws are being broken.
Various packages are still being offered.

I can only think that this twit from Diamond Outfitters must be the most gullible idiot that ever walked this planet.

Mmm, I see I have already ranted on this matter.
