Hunt Description

We organize the Bezoar Ibex hunt in two areas which are considered the best in Armenia. The Jeregijsk valley, where one can also hunt in the Autumn, and on the Urcasar mountain. The Bezoar Ibex hunt is done on the steep rocks that are very frequent in these mountains, about 120km from Yerevan.

A driven hunt is the easiest, but if you are hoping for a 38" plus then expect some hard spot and stalk hunting at about 2,000 - 2,500 meters of altitude. A typical shot is 200-300 yards. Bow hunting is a possibility but your professional hunter reserves the right to finish with his rifle. Normally one can get a very good trophy in 3 to 5 days.

If you shoot out early partridge hunting is available.

As in most Asian and European countries your hunting party will be accompanied by a local game keeper. You should give them a small tip like $10 or a knife.

Armenia is a safe, Christian country and our outfitter has strong government connections. Armenian, Russian and English (by young people) are spoken.

Camp & Accommodations

Lodging is provided in small hotels with private bathroom in the hunting areas. Meals are a mixture of Asian and European cuisine. And Armenia has some great red wines.
