That's a "Trophy Markhor" I really wanted to get a picture of. They are so justifiably nervous of hunters and poachers that even with a big camera lense, this is as close as I could ever get to this guy. In fact all the Markhor we found were nervous and kept an extreme distance from us. Getting a clear shot of one took several days of rough hiking, crawling and waiting in the bushes.
