Hunt
Konya Sheep
in Turkey

Konya sheep in fact, is one of the two subspecies of mouflon that inhabits Turkey. Although the total number of sheep was 40 back in 1966, the field survey conducted in the fenced area in 2001 revealed the population number as 1408. Since the capacity of the fenced area has already been reached, TGDNPGW started to launch a re-introduction project a few years ago in order to put the sheep back into its original habitat.

Hunt Konya Sheep in Turkey




HOW TO ARRIVE

There are a number of ways to get to Konya. One can take a direct flight to Ankara which is the nearest international airport to the city of Konya. Then a car drive of around 2½ hours on the highway has to be taken. Another option seems to be a domestic flight of about an hour from Istanbul to Konya. Turkish Airlines has direct daily flights to Istanbul both from United States and from many European cities.


AREAS, ALTITUDE, METHOD

Bozdag mountains are the only place where these species can be hunted as it is the last refugee of these rare animals. The hunting ground lies around at 1800 - 2000 meters and can easily be reached from Konya with a short car ride of 45 minutes. Some glassing and driving is involved until a ram that bears a desirable horn length is spotted.


SEASON, WEATHER, ACCOMMODATION

The season for this hunt starts from September onwards and goes on through the end of January. Best time is considered to be October and early November. Weather conditions during this period are ideal for hunting. In December and January some snow fall and cold weather conditions can be expected.
    Our Konya sheep organization is for 6 days with 4 days reserved for hunting although it can practically be completed in one or two days.
    As it is mentioned below, our representative will meet you at the airport upon your arrival and you will be accompanied by either this person or your PH throughout your stay in the country. Our people are also going to take care of rifle handling in Istanbul and thanks to hunting & rifle licenses taken by us beforehand, it will not take too much time.
