Everything On His List!



Rick E. has hunted the world and he says that this Zambia hunt was one of his very best.   He took fine trophies of all the animals he wanted including this excellent roan and sitatunga, plus a hyena and three races of lechwe.   A great hunt completed by a really good sportsman.  Way to go Rick! 

BOTSWANA BOUND!



You can tell by the smile on his face that Brown D. is quite happy with his big Botswana tusker.   Up close and personal is how you hunt these big boys; a bull of this size should make any dedicated sportsman proud.   Brown enjoyed a fantastic experience which will bring him a lifetime of memories.  Great job by all!

SAVE VALLEY BRUTE!



Jim M. (AZ) has wanted to big leopard for a long time and Safari Outfitters knew that the place to send him was the SAVE Valley Conservancy in Zimbabwe.  This huge cat plus a superb eland fell to Jim's fine shooting.  What is next on your wish list Jim?  Safari Outfitters can arrange it!

Great hunts in Pakistan!


Charles H., Jr. wanted to know if they had any good Blanford Urial left in Pakistan...the answer as he found is a resounding - YES! He took this monster ram along with an excellent Sindh Ibex while on his January 2012 hunt. Watch for more updates on Charles, as he is planning to hunt Dagestan Tur as well.

Two for Two in Tajikistan


Jon & Lanceine Z. (SD) shared an adventure to the land of Marco Polo. Jon harvested an excellent ram early in the hunt and Lanceine scored when she took this heavy horned mid-Asian ibex. Congratulations to both successful hunters!

A classic Marco Polo!


Jack Z. headed for Tajikistan in Nov. 2012 and not only took this perfectly symmetrical, classic Marco Polo, but as an added bonus he took a nice ibex as well! He reported seeing great numbers of sheep and had a great hunting adventure!

From Manhatten to the mountains

November can be cold in Manhatten, but Brian K. opted to leave the big city behind and explore the wind swept mountains of Tajikistan in 2011. His efforts paid off when he connected with this heavy horned Marco Polo! As for his return to Manhatten...he was just glad that HIS Manhatten is in Montana! NICE ram Brian!

On Top of the World

Tajikistan is the land of big valleys and high elevations. Frank G. (PA) was among one among one of our groups that hunted from the well known Hot Springs camp in the Pamir Mountains. This area holds some of the best Marco Polo populations and most hunters can expect to come home with a nice ram similar to what is pictured above. Congratulations Frank on taking a dandy Marco Polo!

A hop over the Bering Sea

Bob J. lives in Alaska, unfortunately when he hunted Kamchatka in Aug. 2011 there was no flight service from Anchorage to Petropavlovsk, so he had to travel all the way around the world (literally) to get there. The good news is that he scored by taking this nice ram! More good news is that starting July-Sept. this year, there IS flight service (one time per week) between Anchorage and Petropavlovsk...so if you are ready for a Kamchatka adventure, you flight time just got cut significantly. It's only about 4 1/2 hours to Petro from Anchorage! Contact us for details on this great hunt and the new direct flights!

The Land of Fire & Ice

The Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia) is a land of stark contrasts and is also home to the Kamchatka Bighorn. Deron M. hunted one of our top areas there in August 2011 and took this beautiful ram. If you enjoy adventure, beautiful country and exploring new parts of the world, Kamchatka is an outstanding destination!

Ibex in the Altai

Over the years John T. has been on many hunts with Safari Outfitters. Sept. 2011 found him hunting the rugged terrain of the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia in search of ibex. He was successful when he took this nice billy after a long stalk! Congrats John!

First time to Mongolia

Marty B. has hunted many parts of the world and is no rookie, but this was his first adventure to the wilds of Mongolia and while the big one got away, he returned home with a fine ram, new friends and a desire to return to the land of Genghis Khan! His Hanghay ram measured 47".

In search of a ram named Louis...

Past SCI president Larry R. hunted the Gobi in fall 2011. Early in the hunt, he and his guides spotted a ram that they nicknamed "Louis". They hunted for several days and kept seeing this dandy ram, but never could get within shooting distance. Finally their patience and persistence was rewarded when Larry took this outstanding Gobi Argali. He measures 51" w/ 18" bases. Louis will be a great addition to Larry's large collection of trophies and will evoke memories for many years to come!

Gobi Success!

This fine Gobi Argali was taken in August 2011 by Guinn C.

The ram measured 47" w/ 17 1/2" bases. Congratulations Guinn! Nice ram!
