Goby Argali hunting in Mongolia
Gobi Argali is a magnificent sheep that inhabits Mongolian Mountains. The species was always of great interest for the hunters, and the trip itself was always among the most popular.
The average size of Gobi Argali horns is 41 – 46 inches with the base diameter of 14 – 16 inches. Gobi Argali horns are not so heavy and are a bit shorter then those of Altai Argali.
In 1991 Mike Adams took the record trophy of Gobi Argali with the right horn of 53 inches and with the left horn base diameter of 18 inches. In 2005 Mike Adams’s trophy was already on the third place.
