They really should have done a better job of policing their area if they did not want to be tracked.

I looked for ibex rock art for this area, but haven”t find any so far.

It was a group of hunters specialising in hunting ibex, a species no longer found in the Tatras today

So they were damn good hunters, apparently.

After being extirpated from most areas by the 19th century, the Alpine ibex was successfully reintroduced to parts of its historical range. All individuals living today descend from the stock in Gran Paradiso National Park in Aosta Valley and Piemonte (Italy), a national park created to help the ibex thrive. The ibex is the emblem of both the Gran Paradiso National Park, and the contiguous Vanoise National Park across the French border. The species is currently listed as of least concern by the IUCN, but went through a population bottleneck of fewer than 100 individuals during its near-extinction event. This has led to very low genetic diversity across populations.

I think this proves that one should not mess with Alpine ibex
