Exotic Hunts Inside The Vast Continent Of Asia
by Bjorg Jago
http://www.huntingt.com
Exotic game hunting is found in more areas of the world than
in Africa's Big Five. Throughout the world, guided hunts
are big business. In these more exotic locations, guided
hunts show off free ranging game with a truly ethical
hunting experience in a remote region of the world. Local
hunting guides accompany hunters through fair-chases. These
experienced guides understand that region's terrain and the
habits of the area's wild animals in that particular
location. Odds are not high that these animals will always
be present in a given area on a given hunt, which makes
these hunts more ethical and authentic.
The Asian continent has opened up to western hunters since
China has opened its borders and the Soviet Union has
toppled. Remote parts of Asia are difficult to travel in
but can provide some exciting hunting experiences for
exotic game. While China has over a billion people, this
vast country has huge expanses of sparsely populated desert
and mountain regions. There are a number of unique animal
species in these regions of China that are of interest to
hunters. Only a few licenses are issued each year for the
takin, an unusual looking wild sheep that lives in the
forest. Hunting in the mountain areas for blue sheep is
quite popular. Also in the mountain areas are the argali
sheep, a large species of sheep.
Kazakhstan is a large country about half the size of the
United States that once was an independent republic within
the Soviet Union. This remote country now has international
flights into its largest city, Almaty. Hunting for Asian
elk is available and this elk species is larger than
anywhere else in the world. For trophy hunting, Asian elk
are in a class by themselves due to their size. Hunters can
stalk ibex and five different species of argali sheep in the
mountains of Kazakhstan.
Hunting in the small mountainous nation of Kyrgyzstan was
opened to the western world in the middle of the 1980~s.
The best time of year to hunt in this area is the months of
October and November. This area of the world is known for
large size Asian ibex and provides hunters with several
species of argali sheep as well.
Mongolia is a nation of excellent horsemen and hunters who
fully respect this country's beautiful and very rugged land
that has remained untainted for centuries. Camping in
traditional Mongolian tent camps called Yurts is how hunters
spend their time. Ibex and Asian elk are the more popular
exotic hunted animals. Traveling to Mongolia in wintertime
is only for the very hardy; so most hunts take place only in
the autumn.
Hunting exotics in Asia is for the true hunting enthusiast
who has a taste for high adventure and the financial
wherewithal to afford it.
