Hunting requires a permit – everyone knows this. Usually, during the hunting season, hunters return with deer, ducks, wild boar, and other species of animals, which are popular and common trophies. The animal is a product to be processed because, as a result, you can get meat, leather, and fur that we can use in the home. Or have another trophy as proof of your victory in the hunt, such as horns. And what is the point in this case if you got permission and still want to hunt down the muffle ram? The horn of such an animal will be a beautiful decoration for your trophies.

Specifics of mouflon hunting.

The first thing to understand is this type of artiodactyl animal you will not see in your forests. After all, there are specially set aside farms with an extensive area where they live their everyday lives. The adult ram reaches a height of up to 130 cm and 90 cm in height. Because of the massive spiral horns, the weight of males significantly exceeds the weight of females and can reach up to 50 kg. Mouflon leads to a herd image of life; these communities consist only of females and lambs and have 100 or more heads. Males of wild rams are kept separate from the herd and mixed with it only during the “marriage period,” and a strict hierarchy regulates their relationship. Muffle females usually give birth to over one lamb, so the population of this species grows faster relative to other species of wild rams. In summer and autumn, their lives depend very much on the presence of water sources near the water, and these animals adapted to drink not only fresh but also salt water. Rams may not leave a shaded place for a few days in the heat. The mouflons eat mainly grass and shrub branches and do so all night until dawn.
