Renaud my partner who arranges our Asian hunts and who has filmed some of those great videos you may have seen, has just returned from Krgyzstan. He just sent me these photos of what is likely to be a new world record for Tian Shan Marco Polo!

It was discovered by our local guides in the hands of some shepherds who probably hunted it for meat from last year! It came from the Djany-jer valley, where we do our Marco Polo hunts.

Renaud estimated it at 11 years old, and measured the horns at 162 cm (63.77")and 172 cms (67.72") respectively.

If anyone is interested in Tian Shan Marco Polo, we still have a couple of open spots for this year and next. Word is that, for this coming season 70 permits will be issued in Krghyzstan for Tian Shan Marco Polo and if someone decides to hunt this year we should still be able to get your name on the list sent to USFW by the Krgyz government, this is imperative so that USFW can issue a CITES import permit.

Amazing! Makes me consider taking an oxygen deprivation cardiac stress test to see if I might survive the conditions!

AMAZING!! I can't even imagine seeing something like that in the wild.... although I will be in Kyrg next year hunting ibex thanks to you and Renaud.

Fantastic ram!!! Thanks for posting photos of this old warrior.

Unreal. I never knew the Kyrgyz MP could grow to such proportions. Amazing.
Good to see Renaud made it back from his trip. He let me know before he left that he had received our paperwork to take with him to sort out our visas and gun permits.

Call me upon your return, Arjun. And thanks for sharing those pics.

You're killing me Arjun!!! When do you get back?

WOW!!
Argali horns vary in shape. This is a perfect shape, imho!
