For sure about Aoudad. They have gone up but a free-range mountain hunt for them is the sheep equivalent of capra's Mid-Asian Ibex. They are two of the best mountain hunts in the world for the money.

Ibex will drive you nuts, which means they are worth it. Pakistan has some of the most professional outfitting in Asia. This pair came from Dureji.

I admit to being a classicist where safari is concerned - guns, calibers, etc. In my day, Willis & Geiger ruled the quality ranks where safari clothing was concerned. To that end, I collected safari shirts made with their finest materials, most notably their linen and gabardine cotton. At that...

Thank you. It was a butt kicker of a hunt. It was built around helicopter insertion to save a 3-day horseback ride in and 3-day trip out. But it was all boots on the ground and hunting up from there. Mysteriously, the area was hit with a freakish snowstorm just before we arrived and a big...

12-year-old monarch. 51"

Outstanding. Congratulations.
