CHITRAL: An American man hunted a nine-year-old markhor in the Shasha conservancy near Chitral town on Tuesday. The horn size of the Kashmiri matkhor was 45 inches.
Officials told ChitralToday that Klimper Todd Kevin had paid 105,000 dollars to the wildlife department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the trophy hunting scheme and obtained the permit.
