But the payoff is real: a massive, mature ram with sweeping horns and a trophy few hunters ever claim. If you’re looking for: • A true mountain hunt with minimal pressure • A rare trophy species in wild terrain • A guided experience with logistical support • A hunt that tests your endurance and marksmanship …then Morocco delivers.

🇺🇸 Early wake-ups and late evenings is what roebuck hunting is all about. In between, long hours of planning the “best” strategy for that one buck which keeps your hunter and you awake during the short sleeping hours of the night. What will the wind do? Will the females around him spot us and run away scuppering our chances of success? When hunting for such special bucks, usually nothing ever comes as planned over so many times in your mind. But sometimes, when everything is perfect, it simply happens, finding yourself just a few meters away from the buck of your dreams. The rest is history. Stay tuned for a short reel coming up soon, which will give you a better understanding of how special this buck is! 🇨🇦 ~ ~ #roebuck #roedeer #spanishroebuck #corzos #corzo #corzos2024 #capreolus #buckfever #huntinginspain #safariclubinternational #cic #sci #dsc #gsco #wildsheepfoundation #firstforhunters #laexcelenciaenlacaza #hunt #caza #chasse #caccia #jagd #охота #охотник #caminorealhuntingo

🇺🇸 An epic hunt that gave us the opportunity to explore some incredible and untouched areas, where we found not only plenty of Marals, but an adventure like no other. Not every day one gets the privilege of hunting on these beautiful mountains surrounded by wolves, bears, ibex, and wild boars amongst other creatures. This majestic and huge bull was spotted on our first hunting day, and from that moment we knew he was the one we wanted, which somehow, made our adventure even more special. Trophy aside, the way this Maral patrolled his area was a clear sign of dominance and no other bull dared to confront him during the 3 days we tried to cut distance with him. Regarding the trophy, the weight of the antlers -despite having to wait for the skull to dry out completely, where the expected weight loss could be up to 2 kg- proves this will clearly be the biggest Maral harvested in the area this year. Luck is an important factor, but without attitude and resilience, none of this would have been possible. Congrats to uncle @juanantoniogarciaalonso on a lifetime experience and a huge Maral! ~ ~ #kazakhstan #maral #huntinginasia #mountainhunting #internationalhunting #safariclubinternational #cic #sci #dsc #gsco #wildsheepfoundation #firstforhunters #laexcelenciaenlacaza #hunt #caza #охота #охотник
