I hunted my mouflon on the big island of Hawaii! Took the family along for a vaca and snuck away with a buddy to hunt them. Lots of other places to hunt moulfon, Spain they are in semi open country. The French mainland corsican mouflon is a true hunt in the mountains. They are considered a...
My 2 cents as I've been in your shoes.
Spain: definitely hunt the chamois. They are more affordable than the Ibex and a better hunt in my opinion. Or hunt a Gredos or Bicetie ibex & the two chamois.
New Zealand: Absolutely! Just be sure to pic a outfitter that will foot/tent hunt you. Not from...
Thats what my wife says! LOL
I was lucky in the beginning of my sheep/goat hunting carrier & drew a couple bighorn tags (98,99) and was hooked! Saved my money from selling hay & guiding & paid for a dall in 01 ($10,500) & stone in 2005 ($15,000). Did my first ibex hunt in 2007, mid asian in Kyrg...
Pakistan is a wonderful country to hunt mountain game. Been there several (5) times & have never had a problem having trophies shipped home. It has gotten more expensive the last few years especially markhor!
I dont have to worry about them they've always been out of my price range.
I was able to completed my Capra 20 last year with a Balkan chamois in Croatia. Romania was good to me last month where I added a Carpathia chamois. It was a different kinda chami hunt being in the forest finding and evaluating quality. I sure have grown to like hunting chamois as the price is...
Azerbaijan has more tur & better trophy quality but was 40% more cost. There has been some new areas opened in Russia for Dagestan that have better quality since then. Prices have increased also to be in par with Azer.
I've hunted eastern (Dagestan) in Osetia Russia & in Azerbaijan along with 2 mid-caucasan and 1 western tur. All great hunts!
Next is a Pamir ibex in Tyjik :)
I'm kinda late to the post & see a lot has been covered. I was lucky enough to have gotten into the "sheep game" way back in 1998 & international sheep/goat hunts in 2007. The international travel experience is hard to beat for the price. There is extra expense getting them back home & travel...
I have heard of 2 Mongolian argali permits earlier this week and had an Altai argali permit forwarded that was issued yesterday. Looks like some from Mongolia is finally starting to move.
Tajikistan is supposed to be next & then Kyrgyzstan.
I hunted Greenland for muskox & caribou in Aug 2022. I used a rifle but there were 7 bow hunters in the same camp. Every bow hunter killed a muskox & 6 had caribou by the end of the 5 day hunt. It is open in some areas but still had plenty of opportunities get close.
I booked my hunt with Chris...
First ram came with a self guided cali bighorn from Washington at 28 years old.
Second came the next year as an amazing rocky (193 4/8) from Oregon, again self guided.
The hook was firmly planted after that and I worked my ass off the next 2 summers earning enough to go dall sheep hunting in...
I believe a BC backpack stone sheep hunt is the greatest adventure North America has to offer! Mojave's take on the international game is spot on. Whatever your decision you cant go wrong.
That info is from our booking agent, local outfitter, and importer. I have been along on argali hunts in 2021 & 22 and all are still in Mongolia including 6-10 more hunted through the same booking company.
The ibex in Tajik (mid-asian Pamir) are definitely smaller than ones found in Kyrg or Kaz. I havent hunted Kaz but both my hunts in Kyrg have been great. Lots of ibex and took a 42 inch 12 year old first hunt and a 51 inch 10 year old second. Locals were great on both trips as I hunted two...
