THE MOUNTAINS

Early on, Pepe hunted the mountains of Spain for Ibex and Chamois, the species for which Spain is famous. Then, in 1981, he started hunting internationally, where his passion for the mountains continued to the extent that he has now collected 110 mountain animals including 42 different Sheep species (Ovis) and 40 different species of Ibex/Goats (Capra) for the rare “40 – 40” recognized by Grand Slam Club / Ovis (GSCO).
