With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

Wasn't the Tur hunt shut down in Azerbaijan due to COVID? Wonder why it hasn't reopened since.

I just return from an ibex/chamois hunt from Russia. Everything went extremely smooth getting rifles through customs & had no problem. It just takes time and need to have the right paperwork. It’s a must to have the right outfitter there to help through the process. Absolutely no way you can get through it yourself.
The hunt went great with three hunters, taking Ibex the first day all very respectable older age class trophies. My buddy shot his chamois on the second day a very nice nine-year-old..
We had put this hunt off for several years because of the conflict and I’ve known several people hunting there with no issues. There was absolutely no sign a war was happening. Plenty of tourists & business as usual.
Tur hunts are my favorite of all mountain hunts. The Dagestan hunts are closed in Azerbaijan & North Osetia (where I took my first) but are open in the Dagestan region of Russia boarding AZ. My outfitter says there have had great luck on good trophies.
I’ve secured a Sayan ibex & Kuban tur hunt for the Washington WSF banquet auction in March. I wouldn’t consider these donations unless I was 100% confident in the safety of travel.
My buddy & I are booked back next year for snow sheep.

Would you be willing to share the outfitter via DM?
