In the Adiyaman hunting grounds in southeastern Turkey, the Bezoar Ibex living in the wild has mated with domestic goats to produce a most interesting sub-species which we discovered during the 2003-2004 season. The hair of this sub-species is long, the points of its horns curve outwards and the length of the horns, curled like those of the wild sheep, is between 36” and 44”. Because of its limited numbers annual hunting of only 6 to 10 specimens is permited.
The months between November and January are the best period for hunting.
