Tur Hunt with Asian Mountain Outfitters
All items are new.
Travel to Azerbaijan to hunt Eastern (Dagestan) Tur with Asian Mountain Outfitters. This hunt is conducted using horses and a lot of mountain hiking at high elevations. Hunters need to be in good physical condition. The hunt is comparable to a British Columbia Mountain Goat hunt, but with no brush. Fog, snow and/or rain can occur on most hunts. This is typically a very difficult hunt and the hunters need to be experienced in mountain hunting (9,000-12,000’, depending on the area) and long range shooting (200-400 yards). Hunters have the option of adding a second Tur for $4,000. This Tur hunt includes 5 days of hunting plus a ½ day of driving/travel each way from Baku to the hunting area and back. If extra days are needed, they can be added for $350/day. Driven hunts can be organized for non-fit hunters, but we don’t recommend hunting Tur in this manner. Each hunter has one guide and one assistant. Typical Tur sizes are 28-34”. Tur of 40”+ have been taken, but animals of this size are rare. Hunt dates are July thru November. This hunt is scheduled to take place on one of the approximate dates of August. 12-20th or August. 20-28thth 2015; it’s one of the best overall times: good capes, great trophy quality and small chance for snow. Later season hunting is for the more adventuresome and it is more difficult to find a big one due to more challenging weather conditions. If the winning bidder cannot hunt during the selected date, additional fees will apply (approximately $1,000) to hunt a different date. Also, arrangements can be made to postpone hunt until the following year (also for an extra cost and with approval from Asian Mountain Outfitters). Hunter is responsible for the flights to and from Baku, Azerbaijan (travel is thru Istanbul Turkey via LAX, Houston, Chicago or JFK), Visa (completed before hunters leaves), lodging after hunt (1-2 nights in hotel at $70-150/night) and staff tips (about $1,100) and $100 for expedited boiling and trophy care so hunter can take their trophy home with them. The license, Vet Certificate and trophy fees for one Tur are included and there are no other hidden fees. If the hunter does not have an opportunity to harvest a Tur, there is a $2,000 refund or credit, which can be applied to a future hunt. A non-hunting companion is welcome for $2,500. If hunt space is available for additional hunters, on the same hunt date, the cost is $11,000 depending on the number of hunters coming. Our outfitting partner speaks English and he provides transportation to and from the hunting area, local guides, assistants, cooks, vehicles, horses (where needed), camps, food, lodging, and interpreter if they are not on the hunt (usually one English-speaking per camp), depending on the date and area being hunted. Tur are very plentiful and do not require a Cities Permit. Bryan has outfitted/guided in Canada for 16 years and 13 years in Central Asia and has personally been on over 50 Marco Polo, Ibex and Tur hunts, so he is very knowledgeable regarding these types of hunts.
