BE AMONG THE FIRST: HUNT MARCO POLO ARGALI & TIEN SHAN IBEX IN KYRGYZSTAN

In partnership with: Department for Presidential Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic

BUY TICKETS HERE

Step into one of the most exciting new wild sheep hunting opportunities on the planet.

The Kyrgyz Republic has opened access to a newly expanded concession, home to thriving populations of Marco Polo argali and Tien Shan ibex. Recent surveys estimate more than 7,000 animals across this rugged landscape, with exceptional trophy quality and strong population health.

Now, you have a rare chance to be among the first to hunt it.

This raffle offers a 12-day VIP guided hunt for both Marco Polo argali and Tien Shan ibex, valued at $45,000 USD. Conducted in cooperation with the Department for Presidential Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic, this experience combines world-class hunting with meaningful conservation impact.

Unlike the extreme elevations of neighboring regions, this concession offers a more accessible high-mountain experience—without sacrificing adventure. This concession is considerably lower in elevation than those in Tajikistan, where the valley floor is 14,000 feet. Here, the highest peaks are 14,000 feet. You’ll hunt on horseback from comfortable mountain huts, with modern amenities including Wi-Fi, all while surrounded by prime habitat holding mature rams. In fact, recent hunters have taken exceptional animals within just 1–2 days.

Only two permits are available for 2026—one sold at auction, and this is your chance to win the second.

Beyond the hunt, your participation directly supports wild sheep conservation and local communities. Funds raised help advance scientific research, strengthen wildlife management, and provide sustainable economic incentives for those living alongside these iconic species.

This is more than a hunt. It’s a rare opportunity to be part of the future of conservation in Central Asia.

Enter now for your chance to experience one of the world’s great mountain game hunts.
