Beceite Ibex Hunting: Guide, Season and Trophy Quality
Big-bodied, accessible and often the first stone of a grand slam. Everything on hunting the Beceite ibex.
The Beceite ibex is one of the four subspecies of the Spanish ibex grand slam and, for many hunters, the natural starting point: the most accessible logistically and the largest-bodied of the four.
Where it lives
The Beceite is hunted in eastern Spain across the provinces of Teruel, Tarragona and Castellón — dramatic limestone country inland from the Mediterranean coast, an easy drive from Valencia or Barcelona.
The hunt
This is classic spot-and-stalk (rececho): glassing steep, broken terrain and closing the distance on a mature male. Fitness helps but the ground is forgiving compared with the high sierras.
Season and trophy
Generally huntable autumn through winter into early spring; winter delivers capes in prime condition. The Beceite carries heavy, wide-flaring horns on a large frame. See the full season calendar.
Indicative 2026 pricing
Management or female hunts can start around US$3,200; representative-male packages commonly run US$5,000–7,000, more for a record-book head, plus Spain's 21% VAT. Full detail in our ibex cost guide.
Trophy import
The Spanish ibex is not CITES-listed, so the trophy comes home cleanly — see import to Mexico. Coming from Mexico? Start with the Mexico hunter's guide.
