KYRGYZSTAN MARCO POLO HUNT
Asian Mountain Hunting offers a unique and adventurous mountain hunting experience in Kyrgyzstan! You will have the opportunity to harvest one of most incredible mountain sheep in the world, the majestic Marco Polo. This is actually the Hume Argali, a subspecies of the Marco Polo sheep. Typical sizes for Marco Polo Rams are 44”-52”. This hunt is about 8 days long and is to be taken either November 2014 or January or February 2015. The hunt cannot be transferred to another year unless arrangements are made prior to bidding. All Kyrgyzstan hunting licenses and fees are included; however camp staff gratuities are additional. A non-hunter is welcome at a cost of approximately $2,500.00. The winning bidder will have their name submitted to the USFWS for the CITES import permit. The U.S. CITES application costs $100 and is due May 1, 2014. Pre-hunt Hotel accommodations in Bishkek will be needed ($100-200/night). Most of the hunting areas have a heated house or cabin and if spiking out, the hunter will use backpack style tents. Hunting elevations range from 10,000-13,000ft. Temperatures are typically below freezing and sometimes below zero. There is extensive horseback riding required on this hunt and hunter needs to be proficient at shooting 300-500 yards. A Mid-Asian Ibex can be added to this hunt for an additional $5,500.00. The trophy(s) can be taken home as checked luggage or you can have them shipped DHL or Fed Ex, and cleared, using a Wildlife broker. This is a very demanding hunt: physical fitness will help with hunter success and enjoyment. If hunter desires to have a Western/English speaking guide, it can be arranged for an additional price.
