Tajikistan: Potential New World Record Bukharan Markhor Taken by Austrian Hunter

(posted February 06, 2016)

A potential new world record Bukharan markor has hit the ground in one of those Tajikistan community conservancies we have been telling you about. Correspondent Dr. Rolf Baldus reports that the trophy was taken on January 31 by an Austrian hunter who has chosen to remain anonymous. The unconfirmed green-score field measurement of 124 cm (48.8 inches)far surpasses the 42.5-inch animal from Uzbekistan which currently holds the top spot, according to the CIC Caprinae Atlas of the World (Rowlard Ward 2014).

The trophy was taken on the Zighar Conservancy in Tajikistan's Darvaz Mountains. The hunt was arranged by Kurt Hofer of German booking agency/outfitter Fair Hunt (www.fairhunt.net; +011 0676 400 51 71; hofer@fairhunt.net) in partnership with M-Sayod Outfitters. (+011-992-98-8815757; m-sayod@mail.ru), the outfitting company of the Mulloyorov family that administers the conservancy.

As a final note, M-Sayod will be marketing directly to foreign hunters for the first time at the 2016 Jagd and Hund Show in Dortmund, Germany, February 9 to 14. They will be hosted by the Grambow Hunting School (Hall 7, Booth C42). See Article 3663 for more information on the Jagd and Hund Show. We'll have more details on this great trophy in our March issue. - Justin Jones, Assistant Editor
