TORTOSA BECEITE IBEX
East Spanish mountains (Puertos de Tortosa-Beceite Natural Park and
Maestrazgo) near the sea, where the weather is very mild, although this
does not prevent from forming of a rough and rugged landscape where
the hunter can fully enjoy the hunt in his pure state.
PYRENEAN CHAMOIS
PYRENEAN CHAMOIS, ISARD (RUPICAPRA PYRENAICA PYRENAICA).
Takes the name from the spectacular Pyrenees Mountains between France
and Spain and boast a considerable population. Their horns, of the
shape of a hook, constitute an attractive trophy, being one of the most
elusive mountains animals.
ROR DEER
The
Roe Deer is a relatively small deer, with a body
length of 3.1–4.4 ft, a shoulder height of 2.1–2.5 ft, and a weight of
33–66 lb. It has rather short, erec antlers
and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in
summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter
undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short 0.8–1.2 in,
and barely visible. Only the males have antlers. The first and second
set of antlers are unbranched and short or 2.0–4.7 in, while older
bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 8–10 in long with two or
three, rarely even four, points. When the male's antlers begin to
regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which
disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may
speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their
antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season.
