The Himalaya Ibex (Capra ibex sibirica) occurs in a wide range of Asian mountains, in the Hindukush, Pamir, Himalaya and the Karakorum mountains. In the past this species was heavily hunted and especially during the construction of the Karakorum Highway was threatened with extinction in the areas this highway transects. Heavily protected by the game scouts of the Community Based Sustainable Hunting Programme, this beautiful animal made a remarkable recovery and can now be selectively hunted by the foreign sportsman. The Ibex hunting areas are easily accessed and don’t require long, time consuming expeditions; however the accommodation still consists of rather basic tents or shepherd’s huts. These hunts can be combined with hunts for blue sheep or Kashmir and Astor markhor, die idealist period is however in the rutting season which ranges from December 20. to January 10. The legal hunting period however ranges from November 1. to March 31.
