Jose Madrazo
Jose Madrazo, “Pepe” as he is known in the hunting world, was born in
Salamanca (Spain) where he practiced as a lawyer until retirement and has hunted
until today. For his passion of hunting, there is no retirement! He started hunting
at the age of ten with his father, mother and relatives on his family estate in his local
region. He began hunting internationally in 1981 and has not stopped since. His
passion has always been to hunt in the mountains. That started in his native country hunting ibex and chamois, and later the mountains of the world to collect 37
different species of sheep including 11 different argali and 39 different species of
capra. In total he has bagged 96 mountain animals, among them the two different
species of takin, the serow and the goral. His collection of more than 350 different
species of animals is the result of 151 international safaris, visiting 56 countries and
more than 180 provinces or states in five continents. He has been on nearly 450
hunts for big game and counts among his achievements The Conklin Award, the
World Hunting Award Ring, and the Culminum Magister Award. He is proud of
having been finalist for the Caldesi Award and the Weatherby Award.
