Tajikistan: Join renown outfitter Ansten Ostbye in the Pamir mountains of Tajikistan for a 10-day hunt for Mid-Asian Ibex (Capra sibirica alaiana). Tajikistan is widely known for its fantastic mountains, and the Pamirs are often called the roof of the world. Only by traveling through these breathtaking mountains can you experience their beauty.
There are no special requirements for the hunter beyond good physical conditioning although hunters should plan on hiking in mountainous terrain. The ibex quality in the hunting area is exceptional. Base camp is at 12,000 ft (about 3.66 km) where you will stay in heated cabins with electricity and satellite TV. Spike camps may be used if needed. Each hunter will have his own guide and travel is on foot and horseback. The rugged mountains have little feed, so the ibex use the mountains as a daytime bedding ground and generally move to the valley floors and foothills to feed in relatively gentle terrain in the early mornings and evenings. Pamir Argali (Marco Polo) shares the same valley, and a combo hunt is very successful in the Karakul Valley.
The hunt takes 10 days (about 1 and a half weeks), of which 8 days are hunting. Hunting trips may be scheduled from September to March with extremely good trophy quality accessible by horseback from September to November. Ibex reaching 50 inches is a good possibility. Marco Polo sheep can be added for an additional $40K. Currently however, Marco Polo sheep are not importable.
The hunt is good for available dates between late September 2024 and March 30, 2025.
This hunt includes the assistance of legendary booking agent Jack Atcheson Jr.
