Trophy Mid Asian Ibex in Kyrgyzstan

This hunt takes place in Kyrgyzstan and the camp is off the chart! If Giant Mid Asian Ibex get you excited this is the hunt for you. There are great sheep here also if anyone is interested. My friend who organizes these hunts will be hosting hunts in 2019. Of course as I am sure many of you are aware there are rumors flying about Kyrgyzstan closing to International Hunting in 2020. We don’t know what will happen for sure, but to be safe now is the time to book if Kyrgyzstan is on your bucket list.

These guys will take first class care of you and your friends and bust their rears to get you a shot at a giant Mid-Asian Ibex.

Hunting Season runs August 15 to October 15 (however, we prefer running these hunts September 1 to October 15)

Pictures in this post are just a few of the ibex we’ve taken in the last 2 seasons. Notice the different weather in the pics, you need to be prepared for snow late. Altitude at most of the hunting camps is around 11- 12,000 feet, but we have hunted as high as 16,000 feet. Diamox is a must, so make sure to get a prescription from your physician prior to your hunt.
We’ve never not killed an Ibex on these hunts.
