Permits for hunting in Kyrgyzstan are arranged in advance by the hunting organizers. For this, organizers need to provide the following information. • Make of the weapon; • Caliber; • Caliber and numbers of additional barrels, if they are interchangeable; • Number of cartridges of each caliber that will be brought to Kyrgyzstan (the actual number of cartridges brought must always match the number declared for import, otherwise there may be many unnecessary questions); • Passport details of the
Even before arriving in Kyrgyzstan, each hunter should talk to their taxidermist to discuss how to prepare the trophy animal. How to skin it? Will you only take the horns (rare), or will it be a set for a plaque (most common), or will it be a full-sized trophy with the body of the animal (often done for creating displays, but more expensive to ship by plane). The first thing done after harvesting the animal is proper field dressing of the carcass, after which the skin is removed according to
The base camp is always different and comes in two variants. Stationary Trailers are set up on the site of the base camps, as opposed to mobile ones. Typically, they are equipped with regular beds, often have a small bathhouse, and they are equipped with portable generators for 220 volts, which are turned on during the hunter's stay in the camp. The trailers are heated by stoves. Less frequently, there are water heaters installed, but this is only in cases where there is a stationary
Traveling to the hunting location by car in Kyrgyzstan is quite comfortable, but the distances to the hunting grounds are usually very large. On average, they can reach up to 900 km, of which about 200 – 250 km is on good asphalt, 100 – 200 km on poor asphalt, 150 - 200 km on good dirt roads, and up to 100 km on dirt roads (mountainous, winding, difficult). Typically, the vehicle that will take you is either an SUV, and sometimes part of the journey will be covered by a UAZ or Niva. These
Weather in Hunting Areas Wind and sun are your most frequent companions throughout the day. As mentioned earlier, you should be prepared for nighttime frosts of up to 30 degrees below zero and temperatures at or even above freezing.
Guides and gamekeepers hunting in Kyrgyzstan. They are excellent hunters who have been engaged in this for a very long time. Often, their experience as guides in hunting tours is 10 years or more. They know the hunting territories extremely well and can find their way to the dugout or base camp even at night in complete darkness.
All horses in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan are small but extremely resilient. Many refer to them as Kyrgyz breed, as they are primarily bred in the Naryn region, which is a high-altitude area. The lack of food forces the animals to get by with little and be very enduring. The average load on a horse during a hunting tour is over 150 kg; nevertheless, the horse copes excellently with such a load. Horses can reach heights that are practically inaccessible to humans.
You need to inform the organizers in advance about what you eat or do not eat. Dietary preferences can vary greatly, and it is not a problem for the organizers to accommodate them.
Radios are provided by the organizers of hunting tours. Since bringing communication devices into Kyrgyzstan is only allowed with special permits, including for further use, a frequency permit is also required. It is better not to take the risk and not bring your own, as there is a high probability they will be confiscated at customs.
You need to have a set of clothing in which you feel comfortable in specific temperature conditions. Base layer underwear. You should have at least two sets of thermal underwear (it retains heat well, is lightweight, and takes up little space).
The presence of a rangefinder is not mandatory, but it is highly desirable. This is because, for many types of ammunition at long distances, often over 300 meters, it is important to know the distance with an accuracy of up to 20 meters for trajectory calculation. The most common mistake among hunters in Kyrgyzstan is confusion about distances; real distances are always greater than those estimated by eye. For this reason, without a rangefinder, determining the true distance in the mountains
Every hunter should have their own binoculars; this is a mandatory rule. Naturally, all binoculars are different, so you need to get used to your binoculars. For this reason, we recommend having your own binoculars, in which you will learn to find various objects at significant distances, up to 500 meters.
For hunting in mountainous terrain at altitudes over 3000 meters, a crucial feature of the weapon is high accuracy and stopping power of the bullet. This is due to the fact that the hunter cannot afford to miss, unlike in flat terrain. In high-altitude conditions, pursuing a wounded animal is very difficult, as the injured animal can escape quickly and often to places that are hard for humans to reach: narrow deep crevices, glaciers, steep rock ridges. Based on the experience of conducted
It is very difficult to hunt a truly trophy animal. In different regions of Kyrgyzstan, the size of the horns varies, as does their shape. The organizers of the hunt can always inform you about the sizes of trophy animals available in the hunting grounds during the hunting season. The fact is that animals migrate from year to year and are not found in the same place. Therefore, it is difficult to predict which animals will be in which location during the hunt. Weather has a significant impact;
The most important procedure after you arrive at the hunting grounds and take your rifle out of its case will be sighting in the weapon. First and foremost, it is necessary to ensure that everything is functioning properly with your firearm and optics (it may have been dropped). The ideal situation is when you can hit the target just as easily as you do at home at distances of 100, 300, and 500 meters. Typically, only minor adjustments to the optics need to be made for actual conditions. It is
Shooting Experience. It is a valuable quality, as it is very difficult to hunt an animal with trophy characteristics without skills. What should a hunter learn before going hunting in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan? First of all, that you will not need to shoot accurately at 100 meters; it is better to forget about that distance.
Medications. They are always available from the hunting organizers, but this only applies to common medications. If you know that you need specific medications that you use for your ailments, you must take care of this yourself. You should also inform the hunting organizers, as many medications require careful attention when taken, which can be difficult to anticipate if you are not aware of it.
