mongolia






















In September 2008 I travelled to Mongolia to film a Hangai Argali and Mongolian Wolf Hunt for Dark continent video productions. Once the largest empire on Earth, Ghengis Khan did in 25 years what the Romans took to conquer in 400 years. Today a third of the worlds population live on land once ruled by the Monguls!! Needless to say the Hunt was a success and an impressive Hangai over 52 inches and a nice Wolf at 400 yards were taken.

The people were very friendly but primitive in their customs of course. Since 1991 Mongolia has been a capitalist economy and the Tourism industry is growing rapidly, prior to this the Russians occupied and controlled the country. It was a unique experience and I plan on Returning to try my hand a fly fishing for Taimen-the worlds most aggressive trout!!
