Encountered several sets of wolf tracks. That, plus extensive active grazing by domestic herds of sheep and cattle, may explain the scarcity of Afghan urial. |

N/A |

Safari Outfitters strongly reccomended going to Pakistan instead for the Afghan uria in order to maintain domestic tranquility, I had no choice but to go to Turkmenistan. My wife had great concern about my personal safety regarding terrorists. |
