Mongolia is home to the majestic mountain sheep with the gorgeous horns: Gobi Argali, Altai Argali and Hangay Argali. It also has an attraction for those preferring ibex hunting: here you can harvest the Siberian Ibex, also known as Altai, and the Gobi ibex. You can also add gazelle and wapiti as an icing on a cake. Perfect hunting organization and amazing trophies make Mongolia a great Asian hunting destination.

HUNTING
Mongolia offers classical spot-and-stalk hunt with moderate physical intensities. You will spend almost the whole day in the field with a break for a simple lunch. 4x4 vehicles are used to get to the foothills within the hunting area. Average hunting heights are from 8,200 to 11,500 feet (2,500 to 3,500 meters). Horses are available in some areas. Average shooting distance is 300-350 yards/meters.
ACCOMMODATION
The camps are strategically based near the hunting ranges to access the hunting area within the shortest time. These are isolated wilderness facilities with very limited access to the outside world. Hunters are accommodated in yurts that are felt tents with a wooden frame. Yurts are much larger than standard tents, they serve as traditional year round living dwelling for nomads in Mongolia. Your yurt will be furnished with spring beds, mattress, bedding, and wood burning stove.
AREA
Western Mongolia: provinces Uvs, Uench, Khovd, Altai.
Southern Mongolia: Bayankhongor province, Khuree Maral area.
The exact hunting grounds are to be determined several weeks prior to the arrival – according to the results of the pre-scouting.
