Grand Slam Club/Ovis, in partnership with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Climate Change, Forestry, Environment, and Wildlife Department, is pleased to present this special auction opportunity.
In the most recent exportable Kashmir Markhor auction held on October 10th in Pakistan, permits sold for as much as $270,000.
This auction is for ONE (1) NON-EXPORTABLE Kashmir Markhor permit.
This auction has been approved by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Wildlife & Biodiversity Board.
Additional Conditions for Trophy Hunting:
- Hunting is permissible ONLY in Protected Areas managed under the community participation program of the Department.
- Hunting may be conducted in either the Lotkhow River Right Bank Conservancy or the Chitral River Right Bank Conservancy. The government will allocate the area with the best available trophies to the hunter or outfitter at that time.
- In addition to obtaining the Non-Exportable Markhor Trophy Hunting Permit, the successful hunter must also obtain a “Big Game Shooting License for Markhor” from the Department, which costs Rs. 29,000 (approximately $345).

In accordance with Pakistani law, 80% of the proceeds will go to the local communities that protect the Markhor, while the remaining 20% will go to the Pakistani government to fund various social and communal projects.
This revenue-sharing system not only aids mountain communities in Pakistan but is also a crucial way for hunters to contribute to conservation efforts.
Important Notes:
- Grand Slam Club/Ovis and the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK-Pakistan) will not be held responsible for any accidents, illnesses, injuries, or death of the hunter or anyone accompanying them.

Hunting is the #1 Conservation Tool.

The Buyer understands and agrees that it is his/her responsibility to make all arrangements for hunt or trip dates, including travel and completion of filing of all necessary documents, including applications for licenses and permits. GSCO cannot guarantee or warrant that a trophy animal or any animal will be taken during a hunt. Some hunts are subject to VAT and GST tax liabilities, which sometimes are due and payable before the hunt can be taken. Buyer understands and agrees that GSCO is not responsible for these fees and that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to pay these fees unless other arrangements are made with the donor.
In no event shall GSCO, its directors, officers, agents, employees, or representatives be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages however causes and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way or form out of the Buyer’s purchase of trips, hunts, goods, services, or anything else purchased by Buyer at auction.
