The top is mountain hunting. This is a closed hunting club, which is not easy to get into, even if you have money and position in society. First-class physical training is mandatory here: tracking mountain sheep occurs at an altitude above 3 thousand meters. m in difficult weather conditions and not for one or two days, but for weeks. Shooting in the mountains requires special training from the hunter. Not every professional sniper in the conditions of the plain is guaranteed to hit the target from a distance of 400-600 m. And a mountain trophy hunter after a week-long trek at an altitude of 3 thousand. m and above has a chance of only one accurate shot, which is measured in hundreds of meters. The geography of this kind of hunting, without exaggeration, covers the whole world. Each mountain has only its own kind of sheep. In the mountains of Alaska, these are sheep Shares, in the mountains of Iran — a blue ram, in the Pamirs — the most valuable from a trophy point of view, the Marco Polo ram (weight up to 300 kg), in the Andes — also its own ram … Every year, a Grand Slam is played among mountain hunters, the condition for obtaining which is the extraction of record trophies (horns) of sheep from all mountain ranges of the five continents. Even participation in such a tournament is a great honor and recognition for a hunter. It is clear that a hobby of a similar level requires appropriate money. Weapons and equipment — high-precision mountain rifles and special optics of the upper price echelon.
