billinthewildMy dream hunt. But now I am afraid that even if I could afford to go, I would need to hire four natives to carry me in and out......good for you.....

Marc_Stokeldthat is one of the nicest trophies of any species I have ever seen. And I have looked at a lot of Poli pictures. He has so much style and elegance. A true trophy of a lifetime.

Ahmed SultanThanks everyone for the nice comments.
Markhor, thank you, I also know the other two people who have hunted Marco polo. Regarding the size of the trophy, I guess we were just lucky.

bwanamrmBeautiful trophy - congratulations! Some day I hope to make that hunt myself.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Ahmed SultanMarkhor, We have the Marcopolo shoulder mount, we prefered it that way.
It was mounted by Irfan who works for Sind Wild Life Department, however, I had the form imported from the US. He has done a decent job.
I have found a new taxidermist who has done good work for some of my friends, I am trying him for my Bezoar Ibex it should be ready in a months time.
I haven't posted any pics of my trophy room yet but I will do so soon.
How is Mr. Kazalbash? have you got any photo of his work?
Best regards,
Ahmed Sultan

yukon deltaShazam! That's a big sheep when you are used to looking at Dalls. It's just big period. It's got some nice character with the chunk out of the right horn.
