The Intrepid | SIERRA NEVADA IBEX IN SPAIN

Up in Spain's Sierra Nevada, where the peaks rise above 3,000 metres and the ground gives nothing away easily, James takes on one of Europe's classic mountain hunts — the Sierra Nevada ibex. This is hard, honest hunting: long climbs, thin air, and animals that know the terrain far better than any hunter does. In this episode of The Intrepid, we follow James into the high country of southern Spain in pursuit of the Sierra Nevada ibex, glassing steep slopes and working the wind across rock and ridgeline. Success here isn't quick. It's earned through patience, fitness, and good shooting when the moment finally comes. But the story doesn't stop at the stalk. We also look at the traditions behind Spanish ibex hunting, the ethics of taking a mature animal, and the role hunting plays in conservation and managing ibex populations across the Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada ibex hunting in Spain — mountain hunting, fair chase, and the realities of the high peaks, all in this episode of The Intrepid.
