Transcaspian Urial — Uzbekistan

The Transcaspian urial is one of the lesser-known but exceptionally beautiful wild sheep of Central Asia. Mature rams display dramatic facial markings, a white bib, and tightly curled horns — a truly unique trophy for hunters pursuing the SCI World Sheep Slam or international grand slam collections. Uzbekistan's Nuratau Mountains hold a stable, huntable population managed by the government wildlife authority.

Central Asia Safari Group has pioneered urial hunting in Uzbekistan, working directly with the Uzbek State Committee for Nature Protection to secure annual hunting quotas. The hunt takes place in the dramatic Nuratau Range — a biodiversity hotspot rising above the Kyzylkum Desert — combining spectacular desert mountain scenery with challenging spot-and-stalk hunting.

This hunt pairs well with a Tajikistan Marco Polo hunt for hunters pursuing the SCI World Sheep Slam. Our team coordinates all permits, visas, and in-country logistics.
