Field Dressing of the Trophy
Hunting

Field Dressing of the Trophy

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

Horses for Hunting
Hunting

Horses for Hunting

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.

Choosing a Rangefinder

Choosing a Rangefinder

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

Weapons for Hunting in Kyrgyzstan

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

Trophy Qualities of Animals

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 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
