So, big 40 coming up later this year. keen on booking a special hunting trip to Spain with the GF to celebrate; hunting an ibex trophy beast.
Recommendations from those on SD who have done this recently please;
specifications;
2-3 days hunting all inclusive (me hunting only) but staying in a good hotel or lodge for the GF a must too.
Target; 1 beast only- not a medal winning trophy, but not a nobber type cull beast either, something worth the taxidermy.
budget c£4K mark, all in if possible (minus flights, taxidermy costs/ shipping etc)
hopeing to get a shoulder mount done out there and shipped back to UK (parliamentary delays on related legislation required obviously) so an outfitter with links to reputable taxidermist is required.
pick up & drop off from major Spanish airport preferred.
season ; either late October early November this year, or, our preference would be March next year - advice on that too please.
Subspecies ; no real preference, but less inclined to hunt a Gredos purely based on my likes of other subspecies horn profile.
rifle, would like to take my own 7mm rem mag, but open to using the guest rifle if easier with customs etc (see my last point re extended holiday below?)
Greatful for advice from those who have done this before and what to seek out, look out for, costs? etc.
might also add on a longer stay elsewhere in Spain as an extended holiday too.
many thanks E.
