Mongolia

Gobi IBEX

The Gobi desert, which is the coldest and furthest north of all deserts, is home to the Gobi Ibex. The Gobi desert is an arid, high plateau desert located on the border of Mongolia and China, and is surrounded by mountain ranges.

The Gobi Ibex trophies will average in length between 35 to 38 inches.  The horns are slimmer and shorter than those of the Altai and Mid-Asian ibex.  Gobi Ibex have a color that is predominantly light brown without the difference / darker “saddle coloration” you associate with other Ibex.

This hunt can be combined with a White Tail Gazelle, and a wolf.

Getting to the Hunting Area

Hunting Camps

Hunting Methods

Ibex are normally spotted each day in good numbers at elevations between 4,000 – 4,500 feet.  Large rams are normally found in very remote and rocky terrain. After you spot a ram and decide to pursue it, you will make your stalk on foot.  Your physical condition will be a factor.
