This from W4 Hunting Ranch, found this picture on their site.


This is IMO one of the best looking Persian Ibex I have seen come out of Texas. For you ibex experts, is he pure? What would he go for?

he looks as pure as you'll find for Persians. I'm trying to get my hands on something like this but can't find any

Old sucker,bet he smelled great!

Haha is it really as bad as people say it is I've never hunted any of the wild goats.

ibex hardly smell whatsoever. no different than deer.

Too bad that billy was hunted. Would have made a great breeder!

^yes

If I ever hunt a Persian like that I'll make sure to ship a certain part of him on ice if ya'll need what he had.

yes please!!

Most just need time to get like that. That Ibex is probably 8 or 9 years old.

His horns show a lot of the same horn structure of pure Persian ibex. Does anybody know where there are some ibex that look like these???

The Persian or bezoar ibex native to Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Russia and Turkey.They were also introduced to the Florida Mountains of New Mexico. They look nothing like most of the so-called Persian ibex found in Texas . The one in the photo above looks real close to the real thing.

I've spent a lot of money on my ibex herd...I'd pay good money if I could find a billy like this. To me they are superior to the Nubians which everyone likes...but that's just my opinion.

Both are beautiful animals, I agree with you that Persians are great looking animals, pure alpine ibex are good looking with great mass on there horns.

I wonder how they found him...or if they bred ones like these.

One from a few years ago. Probably 4 years old.

Nice! He one of yours?

A couple more from a few years ago.

I have 3 herds...2 Persian herds and a Nubian herds. I like them all but really favor the Persians!

don that one on the left in the trailer is great.

Nice looking goats ! But still aren't Bezoar Ibex.

no one claimed they were...

What are they? hybrids? I know Don in the past has referred to his as "Persian type ibex"

Find us the real deal and we can begin to try and preserve this great breed of ibex.
