Mid-Asian Ibex hunting season lasts from August 1 - December 31; and the best period is November - beginning of December.
Almaty is a city of arrival. From here you will be transferred to the hunting grounds by car. This transfer takes up to 12 hours, depending on the area. Please plan 5 hunting days to get a Mid-Asian Ibex trophy and 10 hunting days for Maral.
This is a classical mountain hunt organized at the altitudes of 6,500-11,500 feet (2,000-3,500 meters). Horses are used for transportation around the area, if terrain permits. Good physical conditions are required as a lot of hunt is done on foot in the steep mountains. Be prepared to spend several nights in the tented fly camps during the hunt (usually 2-4 days needed to bag a trophy). Average shooting distance is 300-350 meters/yards. Be ready for a long distance shot.
Hunting lodges or yurts are used as a base camp. Tents are used for the fly camps.
A very comfortable hunting lodge is available as a base camp for the Mid-Asian Ibex hunting. During the hunt hunters will stay in the fly camp – large tent with cots and stove.
