Day 2 after a lot of searching we were able to connect on great 42” ibex. Super happy. This ibex is well above average for the area, even though this one still was a couple inches shorter than the one we missed on the first day.

Looks like a fine hunt. You've done well.

Can it be eaten? And can you wager a guess on how old the animal is?

Thumbs up

Talk about scratching your own back! The rack is huge compared to the critter.
Congrats.

Congrats. Helluva an adventure. Without your smile, it would look like the Taliban had you.

Are you hunting something else now?

Thanks everyone
It was a pretty awesome trip. I never imagined I would have ever seen that part of the world in my life.

Landed late last night and will do a longer write up of the whole trip
