I
am writing with regarding to Valeriano Belle´s . In September 2011
I was hunting under Valeriano’s guidance in the Spanish mountains Gredos
for Ibex Gredox. While achieving the highest possible standard of work,
I saw many examples of his numerous talents and was impressed by his
diligence and work ethic. I would like to take this opportunity to
recommend Valeriano
During
my time with him as my outfitter, Valeriano proved himself to have
outstanding outfitter and hunter skills. He was able to successfully
organize the whole trip for me as a hunter and my two sons as observers.
He planned the trip to the smallest possible detail from finding a
highly comfortable accommodation and taking us to special local
restaurants to guiding me in the mountains to the best possible Ibex.
This hunting trip was a major undertaking, requiring a great deal of
thought and effort on Valeriano´s behalf.
Spain has the largest variety of big game trophy animals in all of Europe.

SPANISH REED DEER
SPANISH REED DEER CHARACTERISTICS
The Spanish Red deer is one of the largest deer species. In winter its
coat is rough and thick of a grey-brown colour and a darker yellowish
rump patch. In summer the coat is reddish-brown. Only stags have a
thick neck and carry antlers. They start to grow in spring and are
shed at the end of winter. Antlers grow huge with a rough surface and
in case of the largest stags, the fourth or fifth tip form at the end a
basket. Red deer usually stay in same sex group for the most of
the year. During the rut, mature stags fight for the control of the
harems. Rival stags challenge opponents by belling and walking side by
side. If neither stag backs down, a crash of antlers can occur,
sometimes causing serious injuries. Only mature stags hold a harem and
during that time they rarely feed, loosing up to 20% of the body
weight.
GEOGRAPHIC RANGE All National Territory and National Parks.
WILD BOAR
WILD BOAR CHARACTERISTICS
Wild boar is found all over Spain. This animal game can be taken while
you are hunting on other species, but special hunts can be arranged
also. The best way to hunt it is waiting for it in its feeding areas
at night, when these animals are the most active. We have territories
which due to their special characteristics boast extensive wild boar
populations and therefore provide the best opportunities to obtain
great trophies. Wild boar hunting in driven hunts (10 or 15 hunters)
is the most popular way of hunting on this animal among Spanish people.
GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
All National Territory.
ROE DEER
ROE DEER CHARACTERISTICS 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.
