Tips For Barbary Sheep Hunting

By Melissa Stewart


Different people have various hobbies, which they use to relieve the stress of everyday life. Some people prefer sedentary activities like going for a yoga class or visiting an art museum, while others will go for something a bit more invigorating like Barbary sheep hunting. If you fall into the second category, whether you are a beginner or a veteran, there are things you should do, to ensure you are prepared for the hunt.

First, you have to apply for a license and if you already own one, check its status. Anyone over the age of seventeen is allowed to hunt, but the privileges on your permit will depend on your expertise. Some of these permits are free, while others will cost you up to fifty dollars. However, they are a compulsory requirement for any hunter.

Hunting activities are not ideal for a non-fit person. There may also not be good if you get panic attacks or have an existing heart condition. However, if your doctor deems you healthy, you can start training for this trip. Additionally, you will need to start honing your skills and learning as much about sheep hunting as you can.

When you are looking for a place to go hunting, you also need to decide whether you want an expert with you. This individual can give you tips to help you draw out the animals and will also help out when something goes wrong. If you want the help but do not actively you can choose a semi-guided tour, where the expert will only jump in when they are needed.

To ensure you enjoy your trip and get to take home some wild meat, you should try to make sure that your expedition falls within the regular hunting seasons. Although this may mean having to share the turf with other people, during these periods the animals are plentiful. Additionally, these seasons have been carefully selected to ensure that only adult sheep are targeted.

In most cases, these activities take part on private land. You, therefore, will have to pay the owner some money. In some cases, the rates you are charged will involve things like lodging meal and even the stuffing of your trophy. You will also find that the cost will differ depending on the size of your group. Look for a place that offers you comprehensive packages at reasonable rates, this way you get value for your money.

The tools you use and the clothes you wear will play a part in determining whether you hit an animal. You will require proper clothes to protect you from the elements, while still keeping you hidden from the Barbary sheep. Additionally, all your weapons need to be in good condition, and you should confirm that they are fit for hunting.

Unless this was a last minute decision, try to arrange for this trip at least two months in advance. This allows people to clear their schedules and to get their finances in order. It also ensures that you get to go where you want, instead of scrambling for any available openings. When including people with busy schedules, try to ensure that the trips fall on the weekends of holidays.
