Well, we finally made it home Thursday night after nearly 36 hours in airplanes and airports. What an awesome adventure. We ended up hunting a very remote valley in the Tien Shen Mountains that very few westerners have ever seen. It was far from a normal Marco Polo hunt. It took basically five days of travel to reach the hunting area by vehicle and then on horseback. Once in the area we moved camp daily pushing ever deeper into mountains over high snow-choked passes and through rivers running high with glacial melt. We saw a crazy amount of sheep and Ibex and I managed to take a great trophy of each species. The hunt was far more challenging than I ever imagined and the people we hunted with were some of the best horsemen and mountain men I've had the pleasure of sharing a hunt with. While patience is definitely a virtue on a hunt like this where plans constantly change and the is a lot of hurry up and wait, the experience was incredible.
I got to share the hunt with a couple of BC hunters that I'm sure will be adding their own thoughts and pictures. What a great couple guys that really helped make the trip.
