Great animals, I am curious as how you get your rifled zeroed to range at the 15,000 foot elevation to shoot ay 600 yards+?
Not sure what you're asking?
(side note with the angle the 608 yd shot one would be holding for a 486 shot give or take)
Great looking animals. Congratulations.
So out of curiosity, what did the complete hunt cost? Just a guesstimate is good.

Probably right around 60k for 2 ibex, tips, travel
Thanks! I was talking about the sheep.

That's for the sheep and 2 ibex
That is a lot of money but a lot less than I actually thought it would be for that many animals. I didn't know the ibex were included!

Bc stone sheep are twice as much as this hunt now

Congrats to you guys on the fantastic animals and adventures. It's a bucket list type deal for me. Does that ~60k include the hide/horn export fees to the US?
I went to Italy with the wife and was trying to sneak in a Bezoar Ibex in Turkey in the same trip, but I couldn't make it work. Ran across the export fees researching it. They can be pretty hefty.

Export fees typically aren't expensive
Usually it's the shipping costs, airport fees, and brokerage fees here that make up the majority of the bill. For my Mexican desert sheep, I've flown back, and brought them back myself for far cheaper than what it costs to pay someone else to do it
