Hangay argali in Mongolia

This country became one of the most popular destinations for mountain hunters. Officially Hangay Argali is not considered to be separate subspecies of Argali. The title was created in 1997 to make the registration of the trophies taken in the area located far from Altai Mountains to the North from Gobi Mountains. This area belongs to the southern range of Hangay Mountains. In the early 80-ties this trophy was proclaimed as Mid-Altay Argali and sold at lower prices than Altay Argali hunt. Males that inhabit this area are smaller in body and horns size than males of Altay Argali, but bigger than Gobi Argali. To avoid any confusion and to single out Hangay Argali as separate specie, it was decided that Hangay Argali inhabits the areas to the west of the 97 eastern longitude and Gobi Argali inhabits the areas to the south of the 45 northern latitude.
