Hunting in Azerbaijan
Our quarry here goes by many names: the Eastern tur (Capra cylindricornis) is also known as the Dagestan tur or the Pallas tur (after the German zoologist Peter S. Pallas), it is also called the Caucasian bharal by some as it’s horns are reminiscent of those belonging to the Blue Sheep. We can offer hunting for the Dagestan tur in Azerbaijan in districts close to Ismaili, Pashnev, Bihir and Kal Dag. These districts lie between 270 - 320 km from Baku. Here you can find good populations of the Dagestan tur and it is not unusual to see flocks of up to 100 individuals. Hunting for tur is really challenging, the mountains are steep, and walking is difficult because of the many loose stones. It is therefore important to be fit.
