HUNT: Bezoar Ibex Hunt in Turkey
CONSULTANT: Mat, Outdoors International
March, 2018
This ibex hunting trip to Turkey has been the most amazing hunt I’ve been on. In the back of your mind you think Turkey, is it gonna be safe, but the people I’ve met have been extremely friendly. My translator was awesome and you could tell he cared that I understood everything. My guide and driver was cold to start but the more I tried to communicate with him the more he opened up and the more I felt he wanted to interact with me. The head forester for my area seemed like an old grumpy man but in the end he was smiling and shaking my hand.
The young forester didn’t really open up toward me until the hike out on the day I got my ibex. It was almost like I earned his respect and when hiking out with my gun strapped to my pack, he came running up and took it from me saying the tree limbs scratch it. As best as I could understand. They showed me several good bezoar ibex over the week I was there, and we made a couple failed stalk attempts prior to getting a shot on mine. Be sure to practice with your rifle before your trip!
The outfitter has been the most wonderful host I could have ever imagined.
He has really gone far and above what I’d ever expect an outfitter to do. I truly enjoyed my day with him today. I’m not sure that’s normal treatment or if it was because I had an extra day to kill but nonetheless it was great.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
