Where to hunt Dagestan Tur
Dagestan Tur is also known as East Caucasian Tur, and is found in the Eastern part of the Caucasian Mountains. It was once believed to be a subspecies of Caucasian Tur proper, but modern genetic research suggests that it is an independent species, and can be roughly described as part goat, part sheep. The range of Dagestan Tur covers a few provinces of Russia (including Dagestan, which gave the species its name), Georgia and Azerbaijan. For a combination of traditional hospitality, safety and hunting, Azerbaijan is the go-to destination for a Dagestan Tur hunter.
Price distribution
Tur inhabits the most inaccessible parts of the Caucasus, and typically for situations where transport makes up a lion’s share of outfitters’ costs, the price of a Tur hunt depends on the size of the group. If you need to have a camp to yourself, budget around $8,000. However, if you book a group trip for four hunters, it could go below $6,000 per each. If you have good friends, this is a great opportunity not only to save money, but also to share the experience.
