Hey guys I am looking at a possible Tur hunt and may book it next year if finances are all good. I have been asking around a bit for the past couple months and have prices from 3 different places and I am really in shock at the differences.

One quote was a 1x1 hunt with Asif Ilyasov for $7700

Then I talked with Safaris outfitters and they will drop the price from $11 900 to $10 500

I also have a quote from Arjun and it is closer to the first one quoted here.

Why such a difference? It seems like they all promise the same things. Is safaris outfitters trying to rape me or do they add any extra services that I am blind to?

Also has anyone had any experience hunting Tur with Arjun or with Gobal safaris? I would love to chat with you in a PM
Thanks

I appreciate all of the PMs guys and the info given. It has given me a few things to check out. Seems like hunting in some of these places thing could get ugly in a hurry as well and you really need to make some good choices or you will have a crappy trip.

Asif is the owner operator in Azerbaijan so he has no extra over heads to pay for . Have a look at my post and you can see the trophy I took with him.

Nube - Zhaba is absolutely right. Both Safari Outfitters and Seladang sell hunts of a given outfitter as they are not outfitters themselves. Asif is the outfitter, so he can, just for this, offer you a 10 to 15% without jeopardizing his profit. In fact, ironically, I know people that chose to go with a hunting agent and ended up hunting with him, paying much more money (not the case of the two agents you mention, who hunt other areas).

On top of this, I have nothing to say but good things about his operation in AZ.

I have known Clark Jeffs for almost 20 years. I would book with Safari Outfitters before I would book with anyone else.

It's a complicated country in a complicated part of the world.

Dear friends, you can contact me pm to get more info about Tur hunts, we already have 8 years experience as local company. Also out prices are lower.

we have lower prices.

nube,
just because a hunt is for the same species and takes place in the same country it does not need to cost the same.
hunting areas, hunting guides, outfit gear, outfitter staff, company infra structures not need to be the same and cost the same.
some times the price difference is not justified, but my opinion is that most of the time it is. the international hunting industry is a very mature market these days, with good and bad information about a particular outfit or agent reaching everywhere instantly, and that tends to put everybody in his place.

regardin Asif Ilyasov, I believe he is an agent, based in the country but not the owner of the company he sends his clients to. I also believe he is also a booking agent for other hunting destinations in other countries.
