| CAUCASUS, RUSSIA – THE HUNTING PARADISE
  
“Hunting paradise! Lots of animals and steep mountains,” – noted Reza Golsorkhi (USA) in the hunting protocol after his successful Mid-Caucasian Tur hunt in Russia. He got a nice 11-year old Tur on the second day. It was Reza’s fourth hunt in one trip. Due to the wayward hunting fate he was successful in three hard hunts, collecting also Kamchatka Snow Sheep and Dagestan Tur, but didn’t get the Caucasian Chamois which is considered to be easier. “I’ll be back,” – said this optimist. We are already looking forward to that, Reza! |

MID CAUCASIAN TUR HUNT IN RUSSIA:
THE FLYING START OF THE SEASON
Bad luck came to Larry Higgins (USA) and Gary Rigotty (USA) during the Kuban Tur hunt in Russia: Worries started with lost luggage and continued with fruitless hunt. Nevertheless the hunters continued striving for victory and came to the top at Mid Caucasian Tur hunt. As Larry Higgins said: "The Mid Caucasian hunt was a great surprise. The camps & food were very good and the local staff was excellent. The two local guides I had were two of the best I have hunted with."
It looks like Larry's excellent Tur will be #5 or 6 in the Record Book!
We also want to congratulate Gary Rigotti: The Mid Caucasian Tur he got after a lot of climbing in foggy weather is his 30th species of Sheep. Gary is #10 who did it! Hopefully the hunters will come back next year and after all will go great guns at the Kuban Tur hunt! |
