Trans-Caspian Urial

Considered by many to be a rare representative of the Urial family of sheep, the Trans-Casian Urial Ram is a beautiful addition to any hunters trophy room.  They have a white bib and a long, white neck ruff. Adult rams weight up to 200 pounds.  Hunters can expect trophies averaging between 33 and 34 inches, with rams occasionally measuring between 35 and 38 inches.  ProfiHunt hunts in two prime reserve areas; Badkhyz and Kyzil-Jar.

This hunt can be combined with Wolf and Goitered Gazelle.

Getting to the Hunting Area

The most reliable way to get to Ashgabat is to travel to Istanbul, where ProfiHunt Representatives meet you and assist you thru customs.  You will overnight in Istanbul, and then travel on to Ashgabat where you will again be greeted by ProfiHunt Representatives and stay overnight in a Hotel in Ashgabat before traveling to the hunting area the following day.

Hunting Camps

During the hunt you will stay in simple wooden houses or abandoned Soviet Army barracks with beds or cots. Conditions are comfortable yet sparse.  The staff will make your stay enjoyable and although a simple menu, you will be served a lot of meat, along with fruits and vegetables.

The Hunting Camps can accommodate a maximum of 3 hunters per camp; with 2 hunters being optimal.

Hunting Methods

Horses are not available and transportation is done by jeep. All Hunters will have their own guide.

The hunting is not considered difficult and done on foot in areas that offers terrain not difficult for walking.
