Gobi argali (Ovis ammon darwini) is smaller in body and horn than its Altai cousin, but the tight curl of a mature ram’s horns makes it a highly valued trophy in its own right. It is hunted across the canyons, clay plains and low desert mountains of Omnogovi in the South Gobi.
The terrain calls for a different hunting style than the western mountains: long-distance glassing across open desert country, followed by a fast, direct approach once an animal is located, using the broken ground for cover.
We match you to an outfitter working a genuinely productive Gobi concession and manage the permit and quota process from enquiry onward.

Recon is done by 4×4 across open desert terrain, scanning ridgelines and outcrops for rams. Once a target is located, the approach moves quickly across broken ground before the animal has a chance to move off.
Because cover is limited, timing the stalk with terrain and light is as important as the shot itself.
