Fallow BuckI'm no mountain expert but I reckon that would produce some great quality trophies...
It's nice to see countries like that opening their eyes to the benefits of foreign hunting dollario's.

OldsargeHowever, if you do want to hunt in China, both Safari Outfitters and the Chinese Forestry Ministry have booths at the SCI convention. There is
lots of hunting in China.

BoghossianOldsarge, do you know if the ministry sells hunts directly to hunters or only through the medium of a guide?
Talk about a real 'hunting expedition' to outfit your own argali hunt!

OldsargeI am sure that they are all guided. I mean, consider the serious obstacles to setting up your own unguided argali hunt in remote China . . . in Chinese! However you might try the following:

DPhillipsOne other issue with China, or more accurately the US FWS, some of the animals taken in China cannot be brought back to the U.S. The numerous argalis, in particular, at least is my understanding.

GautiMaybe the BBC server is to blame but I have been unable to open the link Oldsarge provides at the top. Now, over here, downloading sometimes seems to depend on the content. I´m sure this is not the case this time but could someone please find the time to send me a pm with a copy ? Thanks in advance.

DPhillipsFrom SCI:
Hunting Cancelled in China
According to newspaper reports and Don Causey’s Hunting Report, China recently postponed an auction that would have allowed foreign companies to bid for licenses to hunt wild animals following a public backlash. The government-sanctioned auction would have allowed foreign hunting organizations to bid for the right to hunt 289 animals from 14 different species. Licenses were based on types and numbers of wild animals, ranging from about US$200 for a wolf to as much as US$40,000 for a yak. It appears that China then postponed or cancelled ALL hunting in the country while the government tries to figure out what to do next. We will keep you posted as this story progresses.
