Congratulations on a nice looking ibex. Is that one considered a Pamir or over the mid-Asian line?
It’s not a pamir ibex or mid Asian ibex i was told it’s a different ibex it’s the same name as the Markhor in that region we were on the Afghanistan border on the southern part Pamir ibex is over in the mountains with the Marco Polo sheep

Congrats!! I am planning on doing this hunt as well but am struggling to decide between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Seems like Kyrgyzstan has slightly more forgiving terrain. How did you decide?
This ibex is a different hunt than a Pamir or mid Asian ibex I think it’s harder to get close for those species I shot mine at 300 meters compared to the others you might have to shoot 600+ if you are a serious international hunter you will have to hunt both anyway

GSCO has been splitting the mid-asian ibex into sub species in the last few years. Now there are the mid-asian from Kyrg & Kazastan, the Pamir from Tajikistan (usually one killed in the MP area) and the Bukharan. All count on the capra list as separate animals now. These 2 with the "addition" of the Sayan ibex (Altai Mts of Russia) and the Coastal ibex of Turkey gives a hunter several "new" ibex to go hunt.
I'll be traveling to Tajikistan with a couple hunters this winter chasing after those 2 new varieties along with MP. I might have to bring one or 2 home my self :chuckle:
