Most Kyrgyzstan hunting trips are based from horse back due to the immense amount of country to be covered for successful hunt. Expect extensive horseback riding 8-10 hours a day and considerable walking. Some knowledge and experience with horses and riding is a must. During the day you will explore the upper edges of the mountains, glassing the hillsides and feeding areas. A temporary tented camp is set up with the specific goal of hunting a particular animal or area. Rams are generally located in remote country at 12,000 feet / 4,000 m. Once the trophy is spotted you complete your stalk on foot. Physical condition is an important factor for stalking during the hunt. Long range shooting, up to 500 yards/m is normal. |
