Just returned from Mongolia and Gobi desert. Apologies but I'm not best from a trip or action report. Below are just some notes. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
- Travel via Istanbul and Turkish air was fine/easy...no issues

Thanks everyone for your replies, info & advice. After several inquiries, discussions & some analysis on flight flexibility (mostly on return), I booked with PWP travel going through Istanbul. I leave next week 9/12. The hunt is for Gobi Ibex and Gobi Argali.
@Truaxdw, @chizelhead,
Thanks.
Yes, outfitter picking me up in UB and will have all rifle permits done, ready to go.
I've flown on Turkish once last year through Instanbul to Adana with rifle and had no issues. I did also book directly for the exact reason of having flexibility to for on the...

Vancouver Island. Have the following options date wise in 2025
April 27-May 3
May 4th-May 10
May 11th-May 17
From initial research seems that rut is closer to end of May or early June. Curious y'all's take as to any pros vs cons on any of the above. Thanks.
Normally not one to comment as I lean towards "you do you". But you did throw this out for all. Some sage advice here from the others.
Why not save up for couple years and do the least expensive of them first (Dall). Doesn't have to be $70k right off the bat. Talk to outfitters, maybe find a...
Most underrated cartridge. My favorite by far, such that I'm having another built.
