Hangay Argali hunting in Mongolia
Officially Hangay Argali is not considered to be a separate subspecies of Argali. The title was created in 1997 only to make the registration of the trophies taken in the area located far from Altai Mountains to the North from Goby Mountains. This area belongs to the southern range of Hangay Mountains, which are 1400 – 2300 meters high.
In the early 80-th many hunters got sheep in this region and this hunt was proclaimed as the hunt for Mid-Altay Argali and sold at lower prices than Altay Argali hunt.
Males that inhabit this area are smaller in body and horns size than males of Altay Argali, but bigger than Goby Argali.
To avoid confusion and to single out Hangay Argali as separate species it was decided that Hangay Argali inhabits the areas to the west of the 97th eastern longitude and Goby Argali inhabits the areas to the south of the 45th northern latitude
