Arrived to Gilgit town, overnight. Next day drive 3 hours by car to the base. January, temperature -12. Accommodation in a separate house with coal stove. Really cold. In the first day we arrived at the lunch time, tested guns and drove to look on the hunting area till 4 pm. While inspecting saw few Ibexes and one trophy size.Next morning started at 7am. Examing the place, we noticed the group of 12 Ibexes: 2 young adults and 2 trophy size. The ranges didn’t allow to shoot just because the trophy could fall from the height and the horns could be damaged. We waited about an hour while they’d change the position and came closer to us. I shot from the 400 m distance with the angle to the target of 30 degrees. Success. We left the trophy on the place. Next morning 3 rangers came to the trophy, the climb took 3 hours and 5 hours to came back. Totally the hunt was 3 days excluding the road to the base.

The hunt for the both trophies took me and Alexey Kim just one day. We’ve stayed in the comfortable villa which belongs to Zulficar, landlord of that hunting area and well- known person in the country. The natives, from 7 to 10 persons per the hunter tracked down the males. There were lots of animals and the hunt was very fast.  I got the Urial from 280m distance and 100m for Ibex.  Thanks a lot for the Stalker group and its representative Alexey Alexeev for the good hunt organization. Special thanks for my son-in-law and my daughter who presented this hunt as the gift for my 70th  birthday. These trophies allow me to get  levels Ovis Super 20 и Capra Super 30.

I hunted in the North Ossetia in November, 2018. I’m really satisfied by this hunt, unbelievable outlooks, hospitable people. I got the trophy from the distance 540 m at an angle of 35 degrees by one shot to the neck. Rifle 338 LapuaMagnum. Special thanks to "High Hunt Pro".

29 июля 2018 г. ранним утром прилетели в столицу Монголии.После 12 часового переезда на юго-запад страны мы оказались в Хангайских горах. Немедленно переоделись и выдвинулись в горы, где нас ожидали проводившие разведку егеря. Однако, вместо козерогов нас ждал сюрприз.По хребту спускался барс!  Пару минут мы имели удовольствие наблюдать его во всей красе. Нам стало понятно , что козлов там уже нет. В другом месте мы увидели группу самцов и сделали попытку подхода. К сожалению наступивший закат остановил нашу попытку. Утром следующего дня , после двухчасового подьемамы увидели группу из 9 самцов . Выстрел с дистанции 170 м , УМЦ -40 градусов , принёс трофей 11 летнего козерога  претендующего на Top 20 в номинации SCI как Гобийский горный козел, так и высткую награду в номинации SCI как Алтайский горный козел ( в зависимости от выбора регистрации )Спутившись с горы мы принесли 100 грамм в благодарность духу Сунсу и благополучно вернулись в лагерь. Надеюсь , что пробы генетического материала взятые у трофея, помогут определиться с подвидовой принадлежностью этого козла. Приношу свою благодарность компании Сталкер групп и лично Евгению Харитонову за эту охоту.

Another one hunt in Pakistan took place in Chitral, where I arrived by the helicopter on 25 January. We went for the hunt at about mid-day in to the gorge near the Gahirat village. Prince Seif, the local landlord, accompanied us. Three licenses per year for the Kashmir Markhor are given each year in this region. Local rangers started the search before we arrived and they were observing several groups of the adult Markhors for five days. A lot of snow fell in the area and the animals went to the lower heights. However, it became warmer when we arrived and the snow almost melted on the southern slopes.We noticed a single Markhor almost near the upper part of the ridge, 100 meters below its level. An elevation was ahead. I was very happy for it. Not to shoot the Markhor directly from the road! The elevation took about one hour, we reached the place, where the distance of shooting to the peak was about 400 meters. Seif gave me his rifle 300 wm caliber with Swarowski scope with regulation from 100 to 500 meters, that looked promising for the long-distance shooting. About 16:30 we saw a single Markhor. It was moving between the cliffs and it was very hard to find him. At some moment three rangers, who accompanied me started to speak actively and showed the orienteers, where the Markhor was. It was difficult to see him, it was literarily merged with rocky background. The distance was about 350 meters with the angle to the target of 45 degrees. It made me put the scope on the mark 300 meters. The first shot reached the animal directly in to the heart.

Unfortunately I got 6 years old male. When saw it first time, I supposed that It’d be 8 years old male according its horns. The hunt was done with the rented gun, that’s the reason why I didn’t shoot it the right place and the male run away. We found it in 3 hours, noticed the flock of scavengers which left the place very reluctantly, when we came closer. Iberian deer is the additional trophy.

This hunt for Matison Argali took place in Murgab district of the Gorno-Badakhshan region, Tajikistan in Jan 2019. It was my 70th year birthday present from Edward Bendersky and I really appreciate it. Safar Bekmurodi organized everything on the lands of Murgab Company. My was PH Atobek Bekmurodi. The base is located on the height 4200m and has all necessary conveniences and even more to feel comfortable: hot water heating, swimming pools with hot mineral water. Temperature was -40C.   Transportation is done on Toyota SUV. All guides are very professional and full of energy. The main part of any hunt is the variety of animals and there isn’t any problem with it. Having all these components (professional staff and animals), the hunt was even easer then I expected before. Thanks to my luck I’ve got 8 years old male. The shot was made from the approach: distance 602m, the elevation 4400m, temperature -28C, down up under the slight degree. The bullet reached the male but he managed to leave with two rams through the pass. We didn’t have time to follow , it became darker. Next morning we divided in two groups and fount the ram on the bed near the pass. Atobek has took it successfully.

One more time I was hunting on the lands of Davlethan Muloerov in Darvaz. This time the object of the hunt was Mid-Asian Ibex. A lot of snow fell in the mountains before we arrived. It added a specific flavor to the hunt. I took the trophy on the second day by the first shot from the distance 500 meters.

I hunted in Kyrgyzstan, Naryn Region in October 2018. In the first day we found the herd of animals but couldn’t come close to shoot. I’ve harvested Hume Argali in the second day: the height 4170 m, distance 380m, the angle 18 degrees to the target. I’ve got Mid-Asian Ibex on the third day. Distance 300m, the angle – 25 degrees, elevation 3900m. Rifle- Cristensen Arms 300 WSM. Clear weather. Temperature at night -10C, day -2C. Outfitter- High Hunt Pro company

Небольшая плотность зверя и туман отняли довольно много времени на поиск муфлона и ближе к обеду он был обнаружен и добыт

Second time in Iran in this year and I’ve got three trophies: Esfahan Mouflon /Afghan Urial/ Transcaspian Urial. Everything is organized very well, good location for hunting. It took one hunting day per trophy though sometimes it was tough. Thanks to Ilya Dmitriiev and Safari & Expeditions.
