Heading out on the overnight flight to Istanbul then down to Antalya for a Bezoar Ibex hunt. Really looking forward to this trip as it'll be my first Ibex and first trip to Asia. I'll be sure to post photos and a report when I get back, good or bad!

Good Luck Greg.
I will be watching for your report.
We have friends in Istanbul and this
is a hunt I have been looking at, even though
you don't get the 12 hour Russian truck ride.

That is a hunt I want to do some day... good luck and I look forward to your hunt report!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Just got out of the mountains. AWESOME hunt although the snow was incredibly deep in most areas, making the hunt reasonably difficult. Shot my ibex on day 5 at a pretty extreme downhill angle. I don't think it would be a stretch to say I saw over 500 Bezoar Ibex on this hunt, and probably closer to 700. I'll post a report and photos when I get home and settled in next week.

Congratulations Greg!!! Look forward to seeing the report and Photos. I think the Besoar is the most beautifully marked of all Ibex.

Home and working on getting caught up. Here's the photo of the ibex, report to follow later this week! Tough hunt, saw tons of Ibex and ended up shooting this ibex (115x118cm) on day 5. Nice ibex, not a giant by any means but I'm happy!

Awesome!

A 45" x 46" is a pretty dang nice ibex IMO!

They smell great, don't they?

Can't wait for the detailed report, I want to do this hunt in Turkey!

If you could include some sort of cost estimate for the hunt that would be mighty helpful!

Great photo and congrats!

Chris

I love the animal and your photo shows how beautiful they are! Congratulations.

By the way, they don't "stink" to other Ibex! LOL. It smells like victory to me!

Thanks guys! Yes, he smelled bad but not as bad as some people have described it. I came long after the rut, so they're days of coating themselves in their own "brand" of urine perfume were a few months behind them.

I'm breaking the hunt report up because I want to be as detailed as possible but don't have time to finish it tonight, but a link to part one of the report (Arrival in Istanbul - Day 2 of the hunt) is below:

More to come tomorrow!

Thanks!
