The population of Gobi Ibex is excellent and success rate is 100%. Trophies average 32” to 37” inches, however Ibex over 40” are not uncommon. Hunting season runs from July 15th-October 15th.

Should you decide on not bringing a firearm, arrangements can be made to utilize one of the outfitter’s, which typically is a Snowy Mountain fitted with a Leupold scope. Hunting will be done via 4WD vehicles with the final stalk on foot. You will be hunting with local guides who know the terrain and habits of the Gobi Ibex. The services of an interpreter will also be present. Also included is the hunting license and permit, state veterinary certificate and field care of the trophy.
