Description

We offer a unique and adventurous mountain hunting experience for Mid-Asian Ibex in Kyrgyzstan. This is not a North American Hunt; hunters need to be prepared for cultural/language differences, long range and sometimes quick shooting (proficient at 500+ yards). The climates are similar to the high & dry areas of CO, NM and NV. Hunters have the option of shooting a second Ibex ($7,000), This Ibex hunt includes 5-7 hunting days, depending on the area; it requires a hunter to be relatively fit and experienced in mountain hunting. Typical Ibex size ranges from 38 - 47”. An average Ibex is about 42/43”. Ibex under 38” and over 47” are rare. Ibex over 47” are possible in some areas, for very fit and tough hunters willing to spike out in often harsh conditions. Option to add a wolf for a trophy fee or to add marmot hunting.

        Description

        This outfit hunts many areas for Ibex. Some areas have bigger Ibex than others and some have easier hunting/access with nice camps. The goal is to match the client/area to better suit their abilities and goals. If a hunter prefers to do a non-horseback hunt (using pack donkeys and foot/jeep hunting), this hunt can be done in Tajikistan. The drive to the hunt camps range from 3 to 14 hours. The most common hunt dates are Sept. and Oct., but the season runs from August 15th thru Dec. 1st in Kyrgyzstan. All hunting licenses and fees are included in the hunt. The hunter is responsible for the following costs: flight to and from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan or Dushanbe, Tajikistan via Turkish Air/Istanbul, meals and lodging while in Bishkek (usually 2-3 nights), extra baggage fees for taking home skin/skull or shipping of trophies home and staff tips (clients will be provided with Tip suggestions). Hunters can sometimes take their trophy(s) home in checked luggage if skins are dried enough, but many hunters decide to have them shipped via DHL, Fed Ex or Turkish Air Freight and cleared, using a Wildlife import broker. This outfitter works with partners in several different hunting areas: the Naryn and Issyk-kul Regions of Kyrgyzstan and 2 different regions of Tajikistan. The Manager/interpreter/partners will meet clients at airport and assist in all aspects of the hunts. The best local guides typically do not speak English, but are skilled hunters and horsemen. Hunters who elect to hunt with just the local guides need to be able to assist in trophy judging & oversee skin preparations. The best attitude is to go prepared as if it is a self-guided hunt, combined with local guides. Hunts are typically 2 guides per one hunt. Groups of up to 4 hunters can be accommodated. If group sizes are larger than they will be hunting from different camps. Wolf hunting can be added with a trophy fee. Wolf hunting may take place off bait piles, spot and stalk, or night hunting with a spotlight or thermal gear. Marmot hunting is a great add on to August and September hunts when marmots are very active before hibernation. Outfitter will supply all field transportation to marmot colonies. These hunts are 100% success and all marmots killed will be used for bait for predator hunts.
