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.

Along the Afghanistan/Tajikistan border (though you can't prove I was illegally in Afghanistan so it didn't happen)
