the one I posted has Florida mountian ibex in him, supposedly. Hey I had a question on that but nobody ever answered that I saw....another one of my friends was guiding another guy while we were hunting. His hunter shot one and the put the balls on dry ice and took them to a breeder imediately in Texas. Does this kind of thing work? If so, that is pretty awesome and a good way to get some pretty aweome genetics. DIdn't know if it was a long shot, or if it actually had a good chance of AI'ing some nannies.

I've never really seen a pure Persian Ibex in the US except for the herd in the Florida Mtns. Now that looks like a true hunt. I'd love to get drawn someday.
I've seen pics of White Elks Persians. They are not pure seemingly, but they are better then the ones I see In texas that are a generation short of crossing with a goat of belonging in grandpas barn.
On the other hand, I saw a pic of a great persian taken at W4 and another at Morani. They looked pure, but morani wants 12-20k!
Esshhh! Is it just me or is Kobus all over the map here? I'm not an ibex guy, but it sounds like he goes from " no decent Persians in Texas, to some really awesome ones... therancher, Kobus is some kid (I do me kid not an adult) who fancies himself an expert on sheep and goats and cannot pass an opportunity to get on his little soapbox and expound on the how hybrid sheep (as opposed to pure Mouflons, Urials, etc) and hybrid ibex are a threat to the preservation of these species....and he vilifies anyone who breeds hybrids intentionally (dispite the fact that people are out there who want to hunt them and cannot afford some of the purebreds). His expertise appears to be based on the fact he once hunted the Priour Ranch and shot an Afghan Urial. Ha. If Kobus is axismaster, then it explains a lot. I remember him bragging about the great mounts he had, only to later reveal that he hadn't shot them but his dad had bought them from a taxidermist. Only one...the Grants. I'm selling it to Realistic. More or less an investment. Everything else I have put a bullet behind, enjoyed the experienced, and lived my life. I'm selling the Grants more or less besides that because I don't have any experience with it. But yes I do have some great mounts! All of them of which I have taken :]

Kobus some words of advice from an old man. If you don't want to compliment someone don't say anything at all. You can say things to friends that may not be taken out of context but saying it on here to people you really don't know will probably be taken the wrong way. You have a hopefully long life ahead of you so don't make any more enemies than you have to. Take it or leave it that is just my opinion.

In 2010 my buddy drew the once in a lifetime rifle tag in the floridas. We killed his billy on the first afternoon. The bottom billy we had him at 30 yards and passed. It was an awesome hunt. Ibex are amazing animals.

That bottom pic is awesome, and the billy your buddy shot is huge. How long were the horns?

Thanks for sharing I was thinking the same thing, the bottom is over 40 inches for sure Before the hunt started my buddy decided he wanted to shoot one that had flared out horns. We seen that bottom billy at 700 yards and walked right to us. After that picture he layed down at 70 yards for 2-3 mins. It was hard to let him walk. My buddy shot his at 70 yards. That hunt was a blast.

Some very good Ibex. And to see two like that on a hunt is amazing. Someone earlier said that you don't see them like that in Texas. The reason is that no one lets them live the amount of years it takes to grow that long. The longest one I have sold was about 40" and was 6 years old.
