Condition Comments: |
Most were in good shape, except the Hillier Goitered Gazelle (called the Blacktail). One of those "dirty little secrets" is that they are basically extinct. We even travelled in the Altai to a "preserve" where they are not supposed to be hunted. In two days of hard driving and glassing, I only saw 12 animals! |

SUMMARY
REMARKS |
 |
| Problems
of Hunt: |
The outfitter and local people tried to do good, but there are just many things that are exasperating for an American. There is not much of an infrastructure in the country - very poor. Things like; we always had one spare tire, but always had two flats, and there is no place to get one fixed! If you want to change the schedule set in the beginning, because you get your species early, be ready for a total disorganized mess. The airlines are full and have erratic schedules and the "hotels" may be booked too! This is not the outfitters fault, just a fact of life in Mongolia. The outfitter also tells you that hide preparation and care are your responsibility. This is absolutely true! They are nomadic herders and do not have anywhere the interest you do in preserving your capes. Two suggestions: Do not start the Vodka toasts until after your cape is removed and salted, or it will be 24 hours before it is; Keep an eye on the hides the entire time you are in country and make sure they get to a "taxidermist" before you leave. The in-country airlines are small planes and want to keep weight down. So, you will pay about $2.00 per pound of luggage over 44# - including your carry on. Also, even though it is not a real big deal; they do not have an actual "camp" in the forest region. So, you park your belongings in a tourist camp 2 hours by 4 wheel drive road from the hunting area, then sleep on the floor in some local's ger, wherever you end up after done hunting that night. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Taking six new SCI # 1 species in the Handgun category, and two new #5 overall |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
Spotting scope, parachute cord, black plastic bags, flashlight and spare, watch (the guides will not have stuff above), GPS - yes, they can get lost in the extreme vastness, Satellite phone - this is the first hunt I have taken one; was on the advice of friends, light bath towel, thermarest, sleeping bag. You will be much happier if you bring some food variety too. I took peanut butter, granola bars, ketchup,salt and pepper. I still lost 5% of my body weight. The food is fairly good, but there is a problem: Everything is cooked in one big pan, even your hot water for tea. They use mutton fat for cooking. So everything, even your tea, tastes like mutton fat! I got to a stage where I could just not eat very much. |
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
Yes |
| Why? |
This is a very good hunting bargain, since it includes the international airfare, and, the trophy fees are reasonable. New Juulchin is the best outfitter in the country. I talked with dozens of other hunters in the airports, and their experiences were worse than mine. |

HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL |
 |

I believe that Mongolian Travel is a very good organization - one of the better outfitters I have worked with. They treated me proffesionally and fairly in all my dealings with them. I had the second oldest guide/interpreter in the company - he had been with them for 14 years. He spoke good english - had majored in languages at their University. He helped me do the impossible: take 6 major species and a wild cat and a red fox in 7 days of hunting! Other hunters need to know that is not the norm though. When I arrived, my guide let me know that he would be happy to get 4 species in 13 days of hunting - and that bears out in my experience, and my friends experiences. I would highly recommend this outfitter and guide to other international hunters. I say "international" hunters, because if you have not hunted in other third world countries, this could be a very trying experience. I have taken 27 international hunts, and it was still very exasperating. I have several friends that have hunted Mongolia, so I thought I was prepared - NOT! It is impossible to explain the different culture there. A tourist brochure in the Hotel in Ulaan Baatar (U.B.) described it best: Western cultural ways do not apply in Mongolia - the nomadic way of life has neccesitated a lifestyle that deals with situations as they arrive. In American terms, that means that there is very little pre-planning or organization. If you think you will know what is happening from one day to the next - forget it. This is the ultimate "relax and take each day at a time". I admit that I caused extra problems, because I was not willing to sit around after I took my species in an area - so we had many travel arrangements to change! I found two cultural mannerisms very exasperating: You must be VERY emphatic if you really want something to happen, otherwise you are just blown off; They will outright lie to you, if they think it is what you want to hear. I had to learn to not give my guide any idea what answer I wanted before I asked him a question. You did not learn the truth until a few minutes before you were actually going to do something, and then you would find out " there is little problem". Tipping is always a question, so for what it is worth, on this 3 area, 20 day itinerary my friends and I tipped: Guide Interpreter $ 600 - $ 1,000 Each: Local guide $ 150 -$ 200 Camp Manager $ 100 Cook $ 100, Helper $ 50 Driver $ 100 With the Hotels, Excess baggage charges, Vodka and Sodas, miscellaneous tipping, it all amounts to about $ 3,500 you need to take with you - about the same as an African Safari. Also note, convert and carry at least $ 400 in Mongolian money every time you travel through U.B. - your guide will virtually never have enough money for everything needed.

Never schedule your return to the States on a weekend! US Fish and Wildlife does not work weekends, therefore, Customs requires trophies to be left with the airlines until Fish & Wildlife can inspect and release them. The procedure is to leave trophies with the airlines in the cargo warehouse under lock-up until Fish & Wildlife releases same.
You will require a broker to schedule and handle this for you and then forward trophies to an approved facility. Cargo lock-up fee is $50 and broker fees with forwarding cost is $460. A good percentage of this cost could be avoided if arriving on a business day.
The airline involved in this nightmare was United. When I left the airport in San Francisco to head home, I thought all was in order. Wrong! The United agent took my trophies to the baggage room instead of cargo lock-up warehouse. Consequently, due to my luggage ID tag with New York address, the trophies were flown to JFK Airport in New York City.
United Airline personnel in NYC thought this was lost baggage and called me the following day (Monday). When asked to describe the bag I informed them I had left it with Cargo lock-up in San Francisco and to please check on this. On Tuesday I received another call from lost luggage at JFK and I requested them to please send it directly to my Buffalo, NY address. This request was denied and after some discussion was informed the luggage had to be returned to San Francisco, which was the original port of entry and had to be cleared there. I was given several Air Freight numbers and it was suggested I call United in San Francisco the next day (Wednesday) to verify its scheduled arrival. I then called the broker and directed them to follow-up and clear the trophies with the US Fish & Wildlife. Finally, on Friday, the broker assured me all was in order and the trophies were to be shipped by them to an approved facility recommended by my taxidermist.
This dilemma could have been avoided if only I had arrived on a business day when US Fish & Wildlife would have cleared and immediately shipped the trophies accordingly. Ironically, United Airlines expected me to pay for shipping the trophies back to San Francisco when in fact they had neglected to follow proper procedure dictated by Customs and paid for by me.
That was a week of hell because I was the one who lost a Russian brown bear in 1997 by this same Airline. I never recovered the bear, and the airlines reimbursed me for a piece of lost luggage, a mere fraction of the loss!

Condition Comments: |
Two years of severe draught and harsh winters have had an impact on number of older, mature rams. Local hunters and shepherds reported fairly significant winter die-off of old rams in the past two years. In addition, heavy wolf population has caused significant problems. Every day on different mountains, would see between 4 to 9 wolves, oftentimes in a pack hunting the sheep. There seems to be an abundance of rams between ages 5 and 9, but very few over the age of 9. As a result, the trophy size in Hungay region has fallen significantly. In ten days of hunting, did not see a ram that I would estimate over 48 inches. Fortunately, number of sheep in this region seems plentiful, as one day, while hunting and sitting on a mountain top, I counted 140 sheep at one time grazing in the valley some 100 yards below me. Of these 140 sheep, approximately 30 were mature rams of which 3 or 4 were in the 46 to 48-inch size with estimated 17 plus-inch bases. |
