Another Mark Hampton Hunting Adventure!

I'm posting this photo for our friend Mark Hampton. I will let him chime in with some details. That's an incredible ram Mark, congrats!

That is one beautiful animal. Congrats Mark!

Thanks for posting Darrell! I was fortunate to take this Marco Polo ram in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan at 14,446 feet elevation. The H-S Precision in 270 WSM shooting Federal 130 gr. BT did the job at 135 yards. Glad to check this one off the bucket list.

How did you acclimate to the altitude? Any altitude sickness?

I was on a regime of Diamox. Stayed in camp a couple of days to get acclimated. Altitude sickness can lead to serious problems.

Congratulations, Mark. That is one fine specimen!

Awesome!!!!!!!!

another one down...how many "special" ones left??

Holy Smokes that's an awesome ram! Congrats on another well earned trophy, Mark! I'm sure that's one you'll never forget.

Nicely done mark. I have some friends that have a few of those sheep done full body mounts in their billiards room. Impressive animals to be sure!!!! Congrats!

What a fantastic set of horns! Someday I would like to get a tour of your trophy room, photos are great but seeing them in real life would be impressive. Waiting for the full write up.

Mark Hampton You are the Man. No one promotes handgun hunting like you do. You have filled the shoes of JD Jones, Larry Kelley and others that have paved the way in years past. My hat is off to you, sir.

Congratulations Mark on another fantastic handgunning adventure!

Congrats Mark, impressive for sure!
