Thanks for posting Darrell! I was fortunate to take this Marco Polo ram in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan at 14,446 feet elevation. The H-S Precision in 270 WSM with Federal 130 gr. BT performed well at 135 yards. Glad to check this one off the bucket list.

What an amazing trophy! That ram has to weigh 300+ lbs. Congratulations Mark on what had to be a hunt of a lifetime, you certainly earned it.

A hunt like that is one of my dream hunts that I know I will never be able to do but to see someone get the opportunty and get a monster like that is the next best thing! Shoot Mark, at 135 yards ou could have use a 41 mag!

14,000 plus feet in and of itself can only be for those most hardy. You’re a stud Sir. Grand trophy. Holding the crosshairs steady on a monster like that had to take nerves of steel. Hope I get to shake your hand someday!
