Mouflon are generally hunted with stalking and spotting or out of a blind. Mouflon rams rut from autumn to early winter and rams work hard to create a strict dominance hierarchy to determine access to eyes for mating. These sheep make for a great stalk and are a great species to add to any combination hunt in Argentina. The Mouflon is a bovid native to Corsica and introduced through numerous imports specifically as a quarry species for hunting. The Mouflon herd in Argentina has grown dramatically since the 1960’s. The large hunting grounds of Neuquén, in the Sierra de Ventania in Buenos Aires and La Pampa Province among others hold fantastic numbers of Mouflon.
