Together with our French partner operator we offer hunts for Eastern Tur (Capra caucasica cylindricornis) in Azerbaijan.

Renaud has over 30 years of personal guiding experience and is an authority on hunting all the Asian sheep and Ibex from Marco Polo to Markhor. For the first time we are now marketing these hunts to US hunters.



Getting there: From the United States fly to Istanbul, Turkey and then to Baku the capital of Azerbaidjan. There are also connecting flight from Paris, France.


Base camp

Hunt Itinerary: After arrival in Baku, you will clear your rifle and drive to Istisu which is a five hour drive. From here you will transfer to a 4 WD vehicle and drive another 3-4 hours to base camp where you will overnight.



The next day you will climb/ride to spike camp which is at an altitude of roughly 3,000 meters. Horses are mainly used to carry luggage and gear. You will hunt out of spike camp for five full hunting days before returning to base camp and back to Baku to catch your return flight. On arrival back in Baku you can check into a hotel at get some shut eye before catching your early AM return flight.

Anybody ever fly to this country? How hard would that be?

There are frequent flights from Istanbul.

This is not first or last hunt with AR members in Azerbaijan. You can read more threads in those mountains with me.

Fantastic country and wish I had the money to do this

If I can't save up enough for a Marco polo and Ibex then I will be doing this one for sure in 2013 or 2014. I think it would be a blast!

Yep that is on my to do list.

Just need to sort out buff and croc this year first.

Keep up the good offers.

Regards Mark

Beautiful country for sure. Is the hunt a good distance from the Iranian boarder?

I would worry about the steep mountains before the Irani's! They are no concern at all.

I see that for sure. Those mountains look unrelenting! Great challenge and what an accomplishment.
