As the Marco Polo is in CITES II, a hunting license application will be made on your behalf to the Kyrgyz Republic
State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry. The Kyrgyz Republic authorities then notify the CITES
Secretary and he notifies USFW of your legal request to hunt and export and import your trophy. U.S. clients must
personally and in advance, complete USFW Application Form 3-200-21 and mail to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Division of Management Authority (DMA) Branch of Permits, MS: IA 5275 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22041-
3803 1-800-358-2104 or 703-358-2104, return receipt requested to arrive on May 1 (not before May 1). The U.S. Fish
and wildlife then issues the U.S. CITES Import Permit Form 3-201, normally issued in a minimum of 30 days after May
31 and with many requests averaging between 60-90 days. It is the exclusive responsibility of the hunter to comply with
all the U. S. Department of Interior Fish & Wildlife Service laws, requirements and conditions.
Travel: You fly to Bishkek (FRU) via Istanbul (IST) on Turkish Air, Frankfurt or Moscow. It is best to travel through
Istanbul because it is more difficult to get firearms through Frankfurt or Moscow. Permanent camps are comfortable,
warm and the food is mostly Asian. You will have two guides and will use horses and will normally ride for
approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours per day. Rams are not usually very far from camp. Weather permitting, hunters will use
tents and stay on top; otherwise, hunters return to the base camp at night. Upon entry into the U.S. with a trophy (at a
USW Designated Port ONLY), present to authorities your Wildlife Declaration Form 3-177 (instructions) with 3 copies
of the original of USFW CITES Import Permit Form 3-201.
Itinerary: Day 1 Arrive in Bishkek, transfer to hunting
camp, accommodations
Day 2 Sight in rifle, rest, walk, acclimate
