Outfitter- Fran Cortina of Corju Hunting
Country - Spain
Dates- late September 2022.
Gun - Tikka 270. WSM- borrowed from Fran.

This is an odd hunt . I bought it at an auction for next to nothing . However, I upgraded it for larger animals .

I got a text from Fran that they had seen a massive ibex. He wanted to know if I could come on short notice . I am busy as hell but I went anyway.

The mountains are quite rugged. Our climb was not all that bad. Fortunately. We spotted ibex fairly quickly. I laid down and took the ibex with a single shot at about 175 yards. He was 14.5 years old. Teeth worn down.

Fran is a very nice guy. He runs a good outfit . I’d definitely recommend him. We are going back in December.

Well done Larry, that's a brute!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

That is a great alpine trophy animal. Out of interest, what ammo were you using in the 270WSM?
