Tajikistan 14-Day Marco Polo Sheep Hunt for One Hunter
Tajikistan: Jack Atcheson & Sons: - This donation is for a 14 day Tajikistan Marco Polo Sheep hunt for one hunter. Marco Polo Sheep, also known as the Pamir Argali Sheep, are found in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Jack has been working with a fantastic outfitter for Marco Polo hunts since 1999 and has led many hunters in to the Pamir and Tian Shan Mountains ranges in search of Pamir Argali (Marco Polo), Kyrgyz Argali (Hume Argali) and Tian Shan Argali.

The hunting takes place in some of the world's highest altitudes and base camps are often at 10,000 to 14,000 feet and game can use mountainous landscape that reaches 16,000 feet or more. Horses are used to move hunters from the sheep camp far into the mountains. Horses really help you make the climb. Some camps and terrain allow for the use of 4-wheel drive jeeps. Some camps can only be reached by helicopter and the hunting by horseback or on foot, the same as some sheep hunts in North America. Hunters are generally based from comfortable cabins in the heart of good hunting; tent spike camps can also be productive at times. Ibex can be added for an additional price. These specialized hunts can be developed for the hunter wanting a world-class animal.

Hunters fly to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a modem city with modem accommodations. The Bishkek airport is gateway to hunting grounds in both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Visas for either country will be issued on arrival. Firearms permits must be applied for in advance. The hunt, including travel days, is about 14 days, with 8 to 10 days of actual hunting. The hunt includes import license for hunting rifles, the required veterinary certificate, and food and lodging while on the hunt.

Not included is airfare to/from Bishkek, hotel and meals before and after the hunt, visas, overweight baggage, and gratuities.

Hunt good for available dates between late September 2022 and March 30, 2023.

Hunt Value: $52,500
