Blandford Urial hunt

The Urial, also known as the Arkars or Shapo, is a subspecies group of the wild sheep. Noticeable features are the reddish-brown long fur that fades during winter, males are characterized by a black ruff stretching from the neck to the chest and large horns. Urial males have large horns, curling outwards from the top of the head turning in to end somewhere behind the head. The horns of the males may be up to 100 cm (39 in) long. The shoulder height of an adult male Urial is between 80 and 90 cm (31 and 35 in). Females have slender upward curving horns about 12.7cm(5in) long. Trophy hunters consider 28-30 inches to be a very good trophy.
