Marco Polo Sheep in Tajikistan Or Customize This Hunt Plan HuntsMarco Polo Sheep in Tajikistan OverviewHuntX(perience)Gear ListMedia Description Marco Polo sheep are some of the most majestic sheep in the world. They are known for their large bodies and curly horns. You access the hunt area by 4x4 vehicles which is a long drive, up to 25 hours. Good physical shape is an important part of enjoying this hunt, as it is a high elevation hunt. Most of the hunting occurs between 10,000 and 14,000 feet but possible above 16,000 feet. The best time to hunt is generally during the rut due to the sheep activity and higher concentrations. Ram quality is typically between 52-58 inches. Larger rams are possible but more rare. Shot opportunity is very high but success depends largely on a hunters physical ability and marksmanship. Rams are very spooky and shot distance are rarely less than 250 yards and can present themselves at 500 yards or more. We recommend spending a lot of time with your rifle, and highly recommend a shooting system that incorporates adjustable turrets. Warm clothing and sleeping systems are a must. We highly recom hunt and trip insurance from companies like Ripcord, or Global Rescue. We also utilize Garmin in reach for communication as well as the optional evacuation insurance. Irridium GO is also an option for communication. Hunt includes: Travel and permit arrangements Firearm permit Visa Support All hunting licenses, tags and permits Area fees and taxes Russian Cites and Vet Cert Local Guide and assistant per hunter Food and Lodging during hunt Transportation during hunt Trophy prep VIP Transfers through Dushanbe Airport
