Marco Polo Sheep

ProfitHunt hunts in the Murgab & Karakul areas, which are considered the premier areas in Tajikistan.  Each hunter will have two experienced guides.  Over the last 12 years ProfiHunt has enjoyed 100% success when hunting Marco Polo.

 

This hunt can be combined with Mid-Asian Ibex and Wolf.

 

Getting to the Hunting Area

You will fly to Bishkek via  Istanbul, London, or Moscow.  An english speaking ProfiHunt representative will meet you at the airport in Bishkek and assist you through customs. You then fly to Osh, which is the second largest city in Kyrgyzstan.  The flight is less than an hour.   from Osh, after which you will transfer to a 4x4 van which will take you to the hunting area thru the mountain pass.  Travel time in the van is long, however it does help you to gradually adjust to the elevation change of 13,000 feet.

 

Hunting Camps

Elevation at base camps is between 12,000 to 13,500 feet. The buildings are wooden structures and ProfiHunt normally takes their clients to the “Hot Springs” camp. Camps are warm, clean and comfortable and you will find a good food coupled with quality service. There are separate areas for dining, bathing and sleeping; with power supplied by electrical generators.

All camps have electrical generators and are equipped with a satellite-phone or radio station, along with a medical first aid kit.

 

Hunting Methods

In the morning you get into your jeep. Horseback hunting is not available in Tajikistan. During the day you travel the upper edges of the mountains and the valleys, glassing the hillsides and feeding areas. Once the trophy is located your stalk will be done on foot. You hunt at  an average altitude of 14,000 feet, thus physical condition is a factor; especially during the stalking portion of the hunt. A long range shooting, up to 500 yards is normal for Marco Polo Argali hunt.
