According to Yuri Gorbenko, the head of one of the hunting groups of the Issyk-Kul regional public association of hunters and fishermen, the hunt took place on January 24, 2026. The morning twilight over the lake and the reeds created perfect conditions for the start of the hunt. "The recent snow clearly displayed the tracks of the jackals. We organized several drives and ultimately harvested seven jackals. Our hunter Alexander particularly stood out, as he managed to catch two animals with just two shots," he said.
