Monday November 5th is the deadline for bids for four hunting permits granted by the provincial delegation of Environment of the Junta de Andalucia. The permits are to hunt the fearsome mountain goat in the National Game Reserve in the Sierras Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park.
There are two permits to hunt mountain goats aged less than 8 years and with a horn length of between 56 and 65 centimetres. The bidding starts at €1,500 and the successful bidder will also have to pay the federal licence fee of €190.24.
There are another two permits for mountain goats aged 5 years or more and with a maximum horn lenth of between 30 and 55 centimetres. The minimum bid price is €500 and the successful bidder will also have to pay the federal licence fee of €95.12.
Bids, in a sealed envelope, should be presented at the Town Hall by Monday November 5th.
The licences should bring at least €4,000 into the municipal coffers.
Do goats carry birth certificates? What if they lie about their age? And do hunters have to carry a ruler and measure the horns before shooting these fearsome creatures?

What a shame!
