Characteristics

While the male mountain goat of Sierra Nevada, also known as the “Buck of the South-east” can be found all over the Eastern side of Andalusia in the provinces of Granada, Almeria and Jaen, the mountain goat of Ronda is distributed across the South of Spain, in the province of Malaga.

Morphologically the mountain goat of Ronda the smallest of the four different types of bucks which are differentiated in our country.

Brought about by an adjustment to the environment and to milder winters than those of other areas of the Peninsula, it is mainly differentiated by the scarcity of black spots on its coat. The hair is shorter, with a less abundant mane and less occipital width in the cranium.

The horns grow upwards in a V shape and then backwards with a spiral twist of just 90 degrees. While this is the typical shape of the horn of the Ronda goat, other formations may be found in this region, even within the same herd.

Hunting Method

Just as with the majority of our hunts, stalking is the hunting technique used, allowing the hunter to delve into and get to know the natural environment which surrounds this species first hand.
