With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

It was going to be my next hunt until they closed. I will probably be on the first plane in there when it opens though! It’s number one on my list

So what's the deal with Azerbaijan? They shut down during the pandemic and decided to never reopen?

We need a really good realignment of cost of goods and services around the world......like a real severe, lasting global recession to realign everyone's expectations of value. It's getting ridiculous and few people could find an argument about that. It's unsustainable.

I agree but it is not happening. People keep on spending. Discretional spending is at an all time high. The average American is content with massive debt for car, credit card, student loans. Median 401k is somewhere around $156k and the same person who complains about how expensive their groceries are, stands in line for 4 hours to get the newest iPhone before all there instagram friends/followers. American priorities are shifted everyone wants more.

I can comfortably spend ~$10,000/year on a a guided/international hunt for the foreseeable future. $20,000 would be pushing it but doable every 3-4 years for something special.

These $50,000+ hunts are out of the question.

I’m guessing more and more North American hunters will opt for an internstional sheep hunt instead of hunting one of the domestics.

Even guys that might already have a half slam today must be looking at the prices to complete the their slam and seriously consider Asia.

Assuming you don’t have any of the NA sheep today, completing the slam using outfitters would cost what, $200,000 US minimum?
