MONGOLIAN HUNTING GAMES>>
Experience the intrigue of new places, the rare opportunity for exploration, stalking some of the most exotic animals in the world, wetting a line in hopes of doing battle with the world's most elusive and largest freshwater gamefish... Magical moments possible in the vastness of Mongolia's mountains, deserts, steppes and forests.
ARGALI
Ovis Ammon Ammon , Ovis Ammon Darwini & Ovis Ammon ssp.
Mongolia provides the core habitat for the argali, posessing the highest body weight and largest horns of any wild sheep. Both the Altai and Gobi Desert species are found in Mongolia, and SCI and other conservation organizations recognize the Mid-Altai argali, or “Hangai,” as a separate record book entry. We have been conducting these classic sheep hunts for the serious hunters since 1962.
IBEX
Capra Sibirica Sibirica & Capra Sibirica Hagenbecki
Two separate species of the majestic ibex are common in Mongolia. Our careful hunt management and exceptional hunting areas have insured extremely high levels of success on both species over many years. Our ibex hunts, available in many options including the complete package with international airfare and the possibility of sightseeing in China or Korea and represent some of the best hunting values to be found anywhere in the world today.
