The Boc | Balearean Goat

The Mallorcan wild goat, known as the Balearic Goat (Boc Balear), is one of the first species introduced by humans to the Balearic Islands, originating from Western Asia. Since its arrival, it has adapted exceptionally well to the environment, particularly in the Serra de Tramuntana, where it has found its ideal habitat. This unique goat species has recently been added to the list of hunting species by the Safari Club International (SCI), which has increased its significance within the hunting community both nationally and internationally.

The Balearic Goat has become one of the most prized species in the world of hunting due to its uniqueness and beauty. Its reddish coat, black hair cross on the back, and distinctive open horns set it apart from other wild goats. Its presence in the majestic landscape of the Tramuntana further enhances the hunting experience. The combination of this unique natural environment and the exclusivity of the Balearic Goat has made this animal highly sought after, particularly in recent years, by hunters looking for an unmatched trophy.

Mallorca is the only place in the world where this animal can be hunted, making the island a privileged destination for mountain hunting enthusiasts. Hunting the Balearic Goat is not only a matter of skill but also of respect for nature and local traditions. This type of hunting is carefully regulated to ensure the preservation of the species and its ecosystem.

There are several trophy categories for hunters who venture into hunting the Balearic Goat, classified as Selective, Representative, Bronze, Silver, and Gold, based on the size and quality of the animal’s horns. These trophies are highly valued in the international hunting community and are considered some of the most exclusive and coveted in big game mountain hunting, both due to the rarity of the species and the strict regulations that protect it.

Balearean Goat Hunting in Mallorca

It is important to highlight that the legal origin of a Balearic Goat trophy is only guaranteed in hunting reserves that possess the Major Game Quality Certificate, issued by the local government. This ensures that the hunt is carried out ethically and sustainably, preventing the overexploitation of the species. Hunting in areas without this certificate is heavily sanctioned and subject to strict control by the Hunting Department of the Consell de Mallorca, guaranteeing the conservation of both the local wildlife and its habitat.

At Mallorca Hunting, we offer access to the best certified hunting areas, ensuring a safe, legal, and high-quality experience. Here, hunters have the unique opportunity to obtain an exclusive trophy in an unparalleled natural environment, participating in a tradition that combines respect for nature with the values of ethical hunting.
