This hunt took place in the Municipal hunting grounds of a small village in eastern Spain, south of the Beceite area.
Temperature forecast was 21/11 Cº or 70/52 F, so we dicided to try and find a nice buck.

I have two simple rules that guide not only my safaris but much of my life. First, I do not do business with people who are willing to cut corners when it comes to the safety, comfort, and well-being of myself, my family, and my friends.
