Mongolia Hunting Info

However, the laws in Mongolia change, especially, the numbers with new ruling authorities and officials. In reality, mammon dictates Mongolia hunting seasons.

For example, during 2001-05 244 licenses were issued to hunt ibex and wild mountain sheep and average 50 licenses were allocated to foreign tourists.

In 2008, 42 tour operators obtained 60 licenses to hunt ibex in Mongolia. In 2004, the cost of trophy hunters for one lynx was #3,800, brown bear - $4,750 and $20,900 for wild sheep and ibex.

One have to keep up the pace with ever changing laws each and every year. It is a tour operators job to keep up to date with fees and pricing.

The same is true with other animals when you are talking about the survival and the greed. Some do hunting out of season and risk their health in order to survive, others do it for greed and pleasure, with or without proper licenses.

Mongolia has rich hunting traditions and unwritten laws that were handed down and practiced for generations. Genghis Khan is known of introducing wild Mongols to the Rule of Law. There were laws that forbid hunting after the harsh winter, not to touch animals' dens, not to let your shade fall on bird's nest.

As I child, I was abiding by not letting my shade to fall on bird's nest simply by superstition because I was told something bad is going happen if you do. Learn more about the animal world of Mongolia.
