Nubian Ibex Hunting in Egypt is slowly Gaining Momentum

Author: reikopena | Posted: 12.06.2012

Harv Hollek, a famous name in hunting has opened Nubian Ibex hunting in Egypt. Hollek after opening various exotic hunting sites in countries like Vietnam and Cambodia has now opened one such in Egypt where hunting was prohibited for more than four decades.

What Hollek has successfully accomplished in doing was never an easy job. He organized several conferences and chats with the Egyptian wildlife officials at Cairo for a year or so and then finally was able to perform the impossible. From the next October, the hunters will be able to feel the adrenaline rush for nubian ibex hunting in and around the Red sea. The low mountains around the sea are considered as the ideal places for such events. People can go on horseback or on their foot, as per their desire. The local Bedouins who are extremely versed about the area and game will volunteer as guides. Although the terrain isn’t very difficult one for human movement, but an individual should be highly supple and athletic to go for Nubian Ibex hunting in this dry area where you may require covering a lot of grounds. Another problem is the intense heat in this region and the accommodations will be not a comfortable one as one needs to stay in tents.

As a memento of Nubian Ibex hunting, one can easily expect to hunt down 35- to 40-inch ibex and 25- to 29-inch sheep. As a lot of poaching has been done in the past, so the hunters are looking for new places where the animals are found in abundance. Earlier the US residents found a problem of carrying the trophies to their country which has been recently passed via US Fish & Wildlife Service. This will continue for a period of 11 days with one more night to be spent at Cairo..
