Dagestan Tur Hunting in Azerbaijan

Dagestan Tur is considered the ultimate test for mountain hunting.

The Republic of Azerbaijan, located in the south-eastern Caucasus Mountains, is the home of Eastern Tur, also known to trophy hunters as the Dagestan Tur. Only at altitudes between 7500′- 9500′ in the far east of the Caucasus lives the pure Eastern (Dagestan) Tur.

The hunt for Dagestan Tur is considered by many to be the ultimate test for the mountain game hunters as it requires good physical condition and mental toughness. It is described as the toughest of all mountain game hunts, and the Dagestan Tur provides a good sport and challenge for it’s pursuers. Although they have an average horn length of 32 inches, any size trophy of a Dagestan Tur is something to be very proud of.

This outfitter hunts an area 40 km in lenght on the Caucasus range. There are ten different camps, and one spot is never hunted twice in a row. Horses are used to get to the base camps and the hunting is done on foot. For clients who would like a slightly less physical experience, there is one area that can be hunted on horseback most of the time.

Under normal conditions, the animals are plentiful. Forty inches is the magic number for a monster Dagestan Tur, and 1 or 2 trophies of this size are taken by this outfitter almost every year. However, anything over 34″ is a good one, and 38″ or above is considered to be a Whopper.
