Mouflon — Corsica, France

Wild island sheep on dramatic Corsican terrain. Mouflon in their original Mediterranean island habitat — one of the world's oldest and most genetically pure wild sheep populations. Stunning scenery.

Corsica is the ancestral homeland of the European mouflon — all domestic sheep descend from this remarkable island sheep. Hunting mouflon in their native Corsican habitat is a privilege available to very few hunters. The dramatic combination of Mediterranean coastline, granite peaks, and ancient maquis scrub creates an unforgettable setting.

Mature mouflon rams display impressive curved horns with distinctive white saddle patches. Stalking through the steep, rocky terrain of the Corsican interior requires good physical fitness and patience. Hunting permits are strictly controlled and limited.
