Basic riding experience is strongly recommended before this hunt.
Spike camps are established in strategic areas to focus on specific animals or regions. Argali are typically found in extremely remote terrain at elevations around 12.000 feet.
Once a trophy is located, the final approach is carried out on foot. Good physical condition is essential for successful stalking. Long-range shots up to 450 yards are routine.
At approximately 8.500 feet, base camps offer traditional wooden cabins furnished with cots. The camps offer clean and comfortable conditions, with heated sleeping areas, separate dining and hygiene facilities, and generator-powered electricity.
