Hunting for the Marko Polo ram, Central
Asian and Siberian wild mountain goat.
Kirghizia is a small Central Asian country
consisting of small valleys, a big mountain lake Issyk
Kul and mountain ridges. These huge, magnificent mountains
take one's breath away. Hunting mainly takes place in
650-700km from Bishkek in the Tjan-Shanja and Pamir mountains.
The height of mountains changes from 2500 to 4000 m. The
landscape of mountains is so various, that it is almost
impossible to pick words for their description. Argalis
prefer relatively gentle slopes of mountains and rather
wide river valleys; wild mountain goat, on the contrary,
lives in rocky mountains. You have a chance to learn about
the unique flora and fauna, traditions and national culture
of natives of these places. Hunting camps have comfortable,
cosy houses and jurts for rest with electricity and tap
water. You will be served by affable and attentive employees
of this hunting camp. Experienced huntsmen will be your
guides. Hunting is carried out on horses or on foot, "on
hot scent" or from "ambush". One can get
additional trophy of a wild mountain goat. The hunter
should have a rifle with a strong cartridge. As a rule,
a shooting distance is great. The weapon should be well
adjusted and it is desirable that it is has a scope. The
Marko Polo ram is one of the finest argalis and it
is a very enviable and prestigious hunting trophy. It
lives high in mountains and not all hunters can adapt
to these heights because of the rarefied air. One must
not go hunting without preliminary medical examination.
Three subspecies of argali are found in Kirghizia: Humo
argali and Marko Polo ram and ram Karelini
argali. Hunting demands skills of riding from hunters
as it makes moving in the mountains easier. You will need
special equipment: climbing-boots and warm clothes (especially
underwear), a sleeping bag, a rug.
The wild mountain goat (Ibex) is distinguished
by its body size and color (from almost black to light
grey), as well as by the form, size of horns depending
on the hunting region.
There are two types of the wild mountain goat here, namely
the Central Asian and Siberian wild mountain goat. Horns
of a trophy can be up to 140 cm.
