The hunts will take place in the best areas, Murgab & Karakul, with the best camps and the most experienced guides: two guides for each hunter. Good Mid-Asian Ibex and Wolf hunting can be included.

How to get there:
The hunt takes place in 2 different hunting areas in Tajikistan, the transportation can be either through Bishkek and Osh in Kyrgyzstan or through Dushanbe and Khorog in Tajikistan.

Safari Club International has officially recognized the trophy, which measures an incredible 71 7/8 x 73 inches and scores 256. It surpasses the previous Number One by 4 3/8 inches. The sheep was taken by Hossein "Soudy" Golabchi, who also holds the Number Two and Number Three spots in the SCI Record Book for Marco Polo. In fact, Golabchi, who is well known in sheep hunting circles, holds seven of the Top 10 Marco Polo trophies.

where are the champion Marco polo hunters.Come on hunters do you want the new SCI record!!!!

NO

Ok I get your drift!

Not everyone is a slave to that silly SCI trait - trophy glory!

Many people hunt for the pleasure of the hunt, and despite shooting exceptional trophies, they never entered in the SCI book.

Yes i agree but mindsets differ .

Dear sir, have you tried to hunt Marco Polo in Tajikistan yourself ? If not, you should be aware of the fact that achieveing a new SCI record would most probably not be possible within 6 days hunting in such conditions ! The hunt it self is difficult enough even to take a decent trophy ! Getting a new SCI record on top of that is something else very difficult !

Combining with ibex makes it even more " impossible " ! Sir, I think that you are overselling. Maybe that is why interest from hunters is zero !

The Record Book Sheep are reserved for Hossein "Soudy" Golabchi.

Perhaps they already have it "on ice"?

And very cold vodka

Maybe they have, but if so they have probably phoned the guys on the list and started an auction ! The price is much higher in such cases.
