The va5 is a legit head for glassing no doubt but the fact that you said you wanted to shoot from it is the reason we’re saying you need to up your tripod/head game.
You will think you’re stable and shooting well from lesser tripods with a pan head but once you shoot off of a top tier...
5.11 belts have been my go to/everyday belt for years now. I have both 1 1/2” and 1 3/4” versions and both work well after a short break in period. I don’t even notice the belt under my pack (small plastic buckle) and they’re perfect for my IWB holster for daily use. I’m not sure why these belts...
Reading threads like this is crazy to me. I hope nobody takes this the wrong way but DAMN some people worry more about their dogs then some folks do about their kids.
I’ve raised working dogs my entire adult life. They work hard during season and get red flannel feed. It’s cheap and they do well...
Word! I’ve bought and sold here with zero problems but the only time I used a WTB ad looking for a specific item, I was contacted by a scammer within the first few hours. I could’ve easily been taken for $1500-2k but a little research and it was pretty obvious. Seems like using a WTB is an...
I’ve done a lot of permitting with USFWS getting trophies imported from overseas. The above contact info should be helpful.
If the trophy is that old, I’d be surprised if there were any permitting requirements at all back then. I may be wrong but I wouldn’t expect USFWS to have anything on...
Looks like a Gobi argali. If it is from the 70’s, it’s really priceless. Something I’ve dreamed about hunting since I read McElroy hunts Asia when I was a kid. There weren’t very many Americans hunting over there back then. Very cool!
It will be pretty easy to tell from pics. Do you know what country it came from? The argalis are geographically isolated from each other which is what caused their speciation so that if you know what country or mountain range, that will tell you. Most folks will call any whitish argali a Marco...

They've got decent Dall sheep mounts at $1750 and a Kuban tur mount at $1000 just to give you an idea of what that kind of stuff sells for. In my experience, it’s a lot less then what you think but then again, it’s all...
It really depends on the argali species and the age. Some argalis aren’t importable anymore so they would obviously be more valuable. If it’s ”just” a Hume or Marco Polo then it wouldn’t be anymore valuable then a dall sheep mount. If it’s an Altai or Gobi then it could be worth serious money...
