Russian hunter hunts an animal included in Red Book in Surkhandarya

Sergey Mazurkevich, who hunted in different locations around the world and filmed the process, visited Uzbekistan. 3 days ago, he published a film about the hunting process in Uzbekistan on his “Trofeynaya Okhota” channel on social networks.

It can be seen from the film that the hunter and the filming team were in the Surkhandarya region, at a mountainous location. The hunter hunted one head of Asian ibex and one head of wild sheep with his Accuracy International AXMC-338 gun.

Kun.uz correspondent contacted an official of the Ministry of Natural Resources to clarify the situation. According to him, the Russian hunter legally hunted the wild animals.

“The Russian hunter hunted prey with a hunting weapon based on the specified permit. For this, the conclusion of the Academy of Sciences was obtained. In fact, there are benefits to this. One should not jump to the simple conclusion that he shot and killed a wild animal. We are planning to hold an event soon involving international hunting tourism experts. The main goal is to create an opportunity for the reproduction of wild and rare animals,” the ministerial official who spoke to the Kun.uz correspondent said.

For information, Asian ibexes are found in the mountain ranges (Bobotog) in the eastern part of Surkhandarya region. It was included in the Red Book of Uzbekistan due to the sharp decrease in its number.
