Default High Altai Ibex

I just returned from a once in a lifetime trip to Mongolia’s Altai mountains Monday night at 2 am with a big joy in my heart. Attached is a picture of a gorgeous 11-year-old salt and pepper caped High Altai Billy Ibex that I was blessed to connect with under extremely difficult circumstances. Let’s just say it was divine intervention for this to happen.

On a hunting note, I have solid and reliable connections in Mongolia and can get you a fantastic hunt for either an Argali ram (Altai, Hangay and Gobi) a Mongolian Ibex or a Gazelle. PM if interested.

Dang that must have been an amazing experience.

You mentioned some connections out there. Are there lots of hoops to jump through to bring anything home?

I could just stare at that rack. Beautiful!
