Mouflon (Ovis ammon musimon)

The mouflon was introduced to Hungary by Lord Forgách, from Corsica and Sardinia at the end of the last century.
The largest stock lives in the Northern Hungarian mountain region, in the Bakony, Vértes, Gerecse, Cserhát, Budai and Pilis mountains and in the Gödöllő hills.
The usual hunting method is to hunt by stalking, but shooting from horse drawn carriage or from an off-road vehicle can be successful too.
It is a beautiful experience to hear the noise of the horns knocking together during the rutting season. You can enjoy it with the colourful autumnal landscape during October and November.

When?

The hunting season lasts from 1st September up to 28th February. The best period is the rutting season which takes place from the middle of October until the middle of November.

Where?

This game lives in wooded areas. The strongest rams are usually shot in the Pilis, Gerecse, Vértes or Cserhát mountains. Rams with smaller horns can be bagged in the Zemplén mountains.

How?

The most effective hunting method is stalking, which is a real challenge, so we offer it to keen sportsmen, who accept the walking in the mountains.
