    Anyone hunted Ibex in Spain?

    I have hunted Spain twice for all for ibex and a few other species. I am going back next year for 2 chamois and the Balerean Boc. Going for the Capra super 20. I took my wife once. She enjoyed it, but it was not her ideal vacation. Europe and most of Spain is expensive. I cringe over...

    Comment by 'RichP' in media 'Hunting Sindh Ibex taken in Sindh-Pakistan'

    piranpr, please tell me more about the pic. Is this a Persian Ibex? It looks similar to the bezoar I took in Turkey, but lighter in color. What an awesome trophy. Someday I hope to hunt the ibex and sheep of Iran.

    Phenomenal buffalo. I can only hope to take a high 40"-50"+ monster someday. It has been a few years since I have seen a good buff to shoot, but I am off to the Save Valley in 3 weeks, so I will be on the hunt for one.

    Best Area for Hunting Elephant in Zimbabwe?

    I hunted in Mahenye outside of Gonarezhou 2 years ago in late October with Johnny Hulme of Zambezi hunters. Later in the year seems to be better in this area as elephants are moving out of the park for water at the Zim/Mozambique border. I was able to take a 78 pounder with 7' ivory. Johnny...

    7mm WSM for plains game

    I took my 300 ultra mag to Tanzania for the plains game portion of my hunt. I had always used the swift scirocco 180 grains for the rifles. They are super accurate. Everything I took was a one shot kill and resulted in most animals dropping in their place. I took nyasa wildebeest, zebra...
