Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Excellent, excellent report!
Your pics are amazing.
It was good talking with you the other day. I hope to have the same outcome on my trip as you did.

It was worth the wait.
A must read for anybody heading to or preparing for a hunt in that part of the world.
Thank you for this detailed report and wonderful photos.

BrettAKSCII received word last week from Safari Specialty Importers that my trophies have cleared US importation and will be on their way to Anchorage shortly! There was a problem with my address on the Kyrgyz CITES export which held things up a bit, but Bek the Kyrgyz outfitter was able to work it out for me!
