Backcountry Hunting Podcast

Among Ancient Ruins: Hunting Spain's Mountain Sheep the Hard Way, with Austin Brown

May 8, 2026·1h 31m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Recorded live in the field—audio-journal style—this episode takes us into Spain's rugged Pyranese Mountains, where our great pal Austin Brown and his buddy Grant Gingerich hunt wily mountain-dwelling roedeer and cagy old mouflon rams. All free range, earned the right way by putting in the hard yards in very steep, rough country. Austin puts his beloved .280 Ackley to work, and Grant carried his 6.5 Creedmoor. Some great insight on the comparative performance of those two rounds coming in a future episode!  From the terrain, to the food, to this ancient historic archetecture, to the outstanding hunting, this trip to Spain was incredible.
