2020 SEASON RECAP

2020 has been a complicated year, but we have been extremely lucky to have great health and to live on a country with a wide variety of species and terrain, that allowed us to have a lot of fun close to our home. Despite all our adventures got canceled after visiting Pakistan in March, we …

DISCOVERING NAMIBIA

We get many times so focused on the hunt that we tend to forget that there is much more than that when we travel. Hunting is a big part of each trip but we should try to find some time to discover new cultures or places.  This story is about that. My dad travelled during …

LORD DERBY

Hassan extends his hand the last day and gives me one of his “grigri”s. He has being carrying this lucky charm made with a seed and leather most of his life on his hunting belt. After a couple of weeks hunting together seems like I gained his respect as a hunter, and he decided that …

MONGOLIA

The stove is burning strong inside the “ger” and I have to unzip my sleeping bag a little. I am trying to catch some sleep listening to the burning sound of some yak shit. There are more yaks than trees in this country, but honestly I am really surprised by the fuel power they have. …

CAPRA NEAGRA

ROMANIA 🇷🇴 DAY 1 🇷🇴  We start very early in the morning, at a pretty low altitude (1100m) and start hiking straight up. A couple hours later, we finally get above tree line. Hoping to see animals at this level, we are surprised to see them way above snow line, and our local guide quickly …

ARIZONA

During a recent visit to the PSE Archery PSE Archery factory for the new 2020 Catalogue Photoshoot, I realized that the archery deer season was opening during that same weekend in Arizona, so I decided to extend my visit for a couple more days and try to tag one. The term OTC comes from “Over the Counter”, …

WINTERBERG

“When you think about South Africa there are many things that can come to you mind, but probably mountain hunting is not one of those.” A few hours drive from Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape state of South Africa, there is a mountain range called Winterberg. With an average of 2000 meters of elevation, …

YUKON

Back in the Yukon! 12 years later we are back in one of the wildest places on earth! We arrived yesterday to Whitehorse after more than 30 hours of travel. Getting stuff ready to fly in the bush for the next couple of weeks. It will be my second attempt to shoot a moose after …

STAGS OVER THE CLOUDS

Mountain stags are special. There is something very special when you hunt mountain stags. Those sunrises over the clouds, hearing a stag on the highest ridges, and interacting with it to get in to range. Hunting them with family and friends makes it more special. The bulls might not be the biggest ones in Spain, …

THE ROAR OF GREDOS

Hunting red stags during the rut in Spain is the most exciting time of the year. It probably has all my favorite ingredients: great friends, rutting red stags, mountain location, camping deep inside and involving horses for packing. I can’t think of a better plan!! We tend to travel far away and we don’t realize …

NORWAY

We travelled to Norway for a week backpacking in search of Caribou. DAY 1 The first step on our trip to Norway was passing the shooting test to get our hunters license. It’s mandatory to go through this test every year and with every weapon you want to hunt with. The test consists in shooting …

SPAIN BOWHUNTING PARADISE

After several European shows seeing the number of offers around the world, it has made me think that we are really lucky to live in what I believe is one of the best countries to bow hunt in the world. A country full of variety, both in the terrain and in the species to hunt, from …

2017 A YEAR TO REMEMBER

Another year comes to an end… so it is time to look back to one of the most amazing years ever! I started the year over a campfire in the northern part of Cameroon with my dad. We hunted hard for a couple of weeks, especially focused on the Giant Lord Derby Eland. After chasing …

Austria

Last month I traveled to Austria to visit the Swarovski Optik factory. It was amazing to see the fabrication process, and you can really understand why they are top in the industry of hunting optics. Impressive facilities and look into every detail. We had some time to discover the hunting also in that part of …

CAUCASUS

Earlier this month, I traveled back to the Caucasus Mountains, the same mountain range I was in last spring when I shot a Dagestan Tur with my bow.  On my last trip, I was on the Eastern side of the mountains in Azerbaijan; however, this time I was after Kuban Tur in the Western Caucasus …

ALPS

Bowhunting chamois must be one of my all-time favorites. Many people don’t feel attracted by this unique animal since they don’t have a very spectacular trophy. Far from that, when it becomes to their hunting, is one of the most fascinating things you can challenge. My favorite part is the terrain they live on, it …

BACKPACKING FOR ISARD

“Backpacking” is the term used in English for the hunts where you spend more than a day hunting living only from what you can carry in your backpack, from the sleeping system to food and others, without any type of vehicle assistance. Definitely one of the purest ways of hunting, where you are completely autonomous …

KAZAKHSTAN

Last year, my father and I were looking for a hunt that we could go on together, and after some research settled on a Mid-Asian ibex hunt in Kazakhstan. Having previously hunted ibex in Kyrgyzstan, on this trip we decided to hunt in the Tian Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. Working with our hunting agent, Jordi …
