Via an American friend of mine (who just conveniently married a Mongolian woman) I am working on a Mongolia trip for next late summer/fall. I think I want to key in on an Ibex, but am wondering what other species would overlap in habitat and hunting season? Anyone know? I obviously need to do a lot more research and planning over the next few months, but would appreciate any insight on what species I can expect to encounter (and take) if I plan an Ibex focused hunt.
 
Depends where you are at and what your budget. Persian Gazelle, Maral stag, and of course the holy grail - the Altai, Hangai and Gobi Argali. Argali will run you 45k-65k, Sorry too far north for Marco Polo but Altai Argali are the biggest species in the world anyway which should make it a lot easier to swallow. :)

You definitely need to be looking at non-resident requirements before you get too excited, you likely need to spend full price on an outfitter no matter who your friend married.

Enjoyed reading your post again. Believe this is the 3rd time. I am scheduled to hunt w/ Legadema in Sep. Really looking forward to it.
