(CNN) An American trophy hunter has sparked outrage after reportedly paying $110,000 for a permit to kill a rare mountain goat in Pakistan, before posing with the dead animal after the hunt.

A video posted to social media shows Bryan Kinsel Harlan climbing through mountains in Pakistan's northern Gilgit region, before shooting at the goat, high-fiving with guides and then pulling the animal up by its horns.

Harlan poses with the goat, known as a markhor, in pictures published in Pakistani media.

"It was an easy and close shot and I am pleased to take this trophy," the hunter said, according to Pakistani newspaper Dawn . CNN has contacted Harlan for comment.

Bryan Kinsel Harlan, pictured here on a different hunt, reportedly paid the highest ever fee for a hunting permit in Pakistan.

The paper reports that the fee was the highest ever paid for a hunt in Pakistan, and the third American hunter to pay at least $100,000 in permit fees in recent weeks.
