Awesome hunt! Congrats and thanks for the write up! I am heading there in October of 2027 for Marco Polo (Hume Argali). I am booked thru Hunting Consortium. Would love to pick your brain on this some time.

I hunted with Ultimate Tanzania Safaris in 2021 in Nalika WMA for buffalo. Had a great hunt. Koos de Wet was my PH. Everything went very well, but I realize that has been 5 years ago and things may have changed since then.

My pleasure. I should add there is obviously an additional cost from your clearance broker when you pick up your shipment, and that amount depends on who you decide to use. I used Genus Logistics, as I have used them in the past.

Thanks! I am going back with them next year for Hume Argali in Kyrg!

Hi, I'll try to answer your questions. Hunting Consortium handles all aspects of the hunt. This includes preparation , documentation, and shipping of the trophies. My shipping cost was roughly $1800, and I received the trophy in late January 2026 for an October 2025 hunt, so pretty fast. I...

Arlene and I will be there Thursday and Friday. Hope to see you

No problem. Happy to try and answer any questions you may have. The outfitters over there know we aren't generally acclimated to that altitude, and they work with you to get you an opportunity on your ibex. I definitely would recommend getting comfortable at taking shots out to 600 yards if you...

I did 25 years in the army and then 16 years in the corporate world. Retired in 2023 at 58 with no regrets! We have a 30 acre place to take care of and trying to keep in shape to be able to keep getting up the mountain as long as the body holds up. It's fun to see the same crowd of retired...

My wife and I will be there Thursday and Friday. Would like to attend the AH dinner.

Thanks Dave. That hunt really put the hook in me. We have Mongolia in 2026 and Kyrgyzstan in 2027 booked. Trying to fight Father Time a d spend my kids' inheritance!

Thanks! It was indeed a great feeling to accomplish a tough goal.

Thanks!
