If you’re up for a more physical and thrilling hunt, chasing ibex through Ireland’s rockier outcrops is hard to top. These hardy, mountain-dwelling animals are built for climbing, and they don’t make it easy on those trying to stalk them. Their curved horns and sharp eyesight make them a unique and striking prize. At Suilen Hunting Ireland, we offer guided ibex hunts on challenging, rugged terrain — perfect for those who enjoy combining fitness, skill, and old-school hunting grit.
Expect early starts, steep climbs, and wind in your face. You’ll be glassing ridges, stalking through loose stone, and working hard for every opportunity. But with the right guide (and a bit of patience), you’ll get within range. It’s a rewarding challenge, especially for those who’ve hunted more traditional game and are looking to test themselves against something different. These hunts aren’t about ease — they’re about effort and earned success.
