– Hunting season from mid-august till end february (but closed in december)
– Distance by car from capital (Bishkek) is minimum 8 to 14 hours driving
– Altitude is 3 000 (base camp) to 4000 meters (in summer can be 4 200 maximum)
– Hunt is done horse-riding from a base camp but reaching remote areas in doing fly camp under tents (possible till end october – middle november if good weather conditions ) or wagon, or yurtas in very remote areas
– It is nice “expedition” and true hunting
– Good trophy ibex (easy to get 40 inches)
– Tian Shan Trophy Marcopolo are less long : 2 to 5 inches less in average size so 55, 56 is record ! Anyway trophies from Tian Shan are most of the time more massive at the bases than in Tadjikistan where they are longer. In Kyrghystan most of good trophies are around 50 inches (48 to 53) when they are old (more 8 years) because most of the time they are “broomed” (end of tips horns brocken by fight or used to feed under the snow or when scratching because of worms in the horns)
– Hunt is less expensive than in Pamirs of Tajikistan
