Tajikistan Giant Marco Polo Sheep | Mark Peterson Hunting

#MarkPeterson #MarcoPolo #WTA #Tajikistan #Hunting
In 2017 Mark Peterson, Earl Peterson, and friends take the exhausting journey across the globe to hunt the world class Marco Polo of Tajikistan. After over 3 days of travel Mark Peterson and Earl Peterson finally make it to the hunting grounds. The hunting grounds are over thirteen thousand feet in elevation and very hard to travel to. Tajikistan has the highest population of wild sheep in the world. Dr. Ralph Valdez explains that he surveyed over 1800 sheep in one day from a vehicle. The Marco Polo Sheep is a special animal to study. In addition Mark Peterson came across a rare sight of Snow Leopard tracks in the snow. Can Mark harvest one of these majestic Marco Polo animals?

Great video! What exact rifle and caliber you are using? Gunwerks isnt topo fond of 338 lapua

[@45LVDad]

Wow! What a hunt! Most of us could never afford a hunt like this but being able to watch through your videos is the next best thing! Nice shot!! 700 yards! 😯

Love from pakistan what a shot!

[@craigmurray5367]

nice snipe

[@jozefhorvat3625]

Perfect shot. Excellent video mate. Like.👍 What caliber/bullet did you use ?

[@MarkVPeterson]

It was a Gunwerks 7LRM or 7 Long Range Magnum.

[@jozefhorvat3625]

@@MarkVPeterson Thanks. What bullet ?

[@blainek9344]

Did that go through the sheep's horn?! Nice shot!

[@MarkVPeterson]

No it did not. With all that horn I am sure it was close though.

[@martinstiastny7679]

Phenomenal shot and a phenomenal sheep. Congratulations

This channel is youtubes biggest scandal. How in the seven hells can a channel producing such high quality videos have so few subscribers?

[@MarkVPeterson]

I agree with you! Lol thanks for the comment m.

[@tornike1811]

[@jay_sin186]

What an amazing rifle shot!!! Badass. What caliber and optic?

[@MarkVPeterson]

On that hunt my gun was an early Gunwerks model I think it was a 7lrm and I prefer to have Leupold Mark 5 scopes on my rifles.

[@mftoutdoors7483]

What calibers are you guys using

[@MarkVPeterson]

That gun was a Gunwerks 7LRM

[@austineilers9779]

I am planning on taking a trip to Argentina using WTA. You have any videos hunting down there?

[@MarkVPeterson]

Austin what are you hunting in Argentina? Wing-shooting, or hunting red-stag? You know though I don't think I do have any past hunts in Argentina but this Mexico hunt is a lot like it if you're wing-shooting. Sonora Dove Hunting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5W6qZ1oeqZ1aLM

[@anjishnupurkait2918]

Which in your opinion is more difficult to bring down: a lion or a tiger ?

[@MarkVPeterson]

I have not harvested a tiger so I’m not sure.

[@muneerahmed8059]

Ok, I am also fond of hunting, my 308 borrifle scope is any good, please tell me

[@caesar5555]

308?????? NO!

[@bns8594]

That's a awesome ram! Congrats. I was wondering what was its total body weight? I looked on Wikipedia and it said max weight is 700lbs. For Marco polo sheep. That would be awesome if it is a true fact.

[@MarkVPeterson]

I do not exactly know what the total body weight was. Sorry about that. I'd say the body size it comparable to a Big Horn Sheep.

[@bns8594]

Thankyou.

[@bobbybvi]

More than 650 m...!!! Please give me some ballistic details.. Caliber Gun Scope Thanks

[@MarkVPeterson]

That was an older model gun I was using let me get back to you on that info. It is a Gunwerks though and they at 1000 yard guns out of the box!

[@umairbutt4789]

Wonderful shot brother

[@kingsolomon8946]

How much did this cost? I want to go do it

[@MarkVPeterson]

Reach out to Worldwide Trophy Adventures, they can give you the details.

[@karatosun8065]

It is easy to shot 500m

[@hendu7111]

My flatlander *ss would probably get altitude sickness the entire time! That's one hell of a trip though.

[@MarkVPeterson]

Haha that’s funny. 👍🏼

[@isaakreid2411]

Whatta shot. 700 yards at 16000 no problem.

[@Yooperstrong]

You do know that they are one step away from being endangered, but whatever you got to kill a beautiful animal yeah go you

[@mowerman60]

really enjoyable,but music is wank

[@MarkVPeterson]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@oriyotj]

35000$ thats too much

[@MarkVPeterson]

It is a very coveted hunt, be sure to look out on WTA website for cancelation deals. worldwidetrophyadventures.com/

Ew

[@jimothytimothy5109]

This is soooo gay

[@knowledgeexplorer100]

I don't understand what they gain by killing innocent animals. is there someone who answered this question????

[@ante4331]

to get the satisfaction and the adrenaline rush xDD Animals are made by God as a food. Peace bro

[@katieMarie2022]

Plenty of food in the U.S.

[@talkinghead2004]

@@ante4331 but we don't eat dogs, horses, elephants, or skunks. Not all animals were made to be consumed. And most of these professional hunters, who travel across the globe to kill, are not killing to put food on the table.
