Hunting for Ibex

Kyrgyzstan is well known for everybody in the world who loves classical mountain hunting on horses and wishes to obtain an excellent trophy of an ibex.  It is in Kyrgyzstan where the largest trophies were bagged.

Among all the mountain goats the Siberian ibex is distinctive for its huge horns that are the desired trophy for any hunter. The Siberian ibex, like all the mountain goats, can be met on remote sites of mountains with steep slopes, numerous rocks and stony taluses. Concealing is one of the main methods to hunt them.  To search for trophy animals, hunters with guides on horses trained to ascend up in the mountains reach the places where the ibex dwell. A hunter and his guide spend a light day in the mountains.  Sometimes a tent camp is set up and hunters can spend the night in the mountains to take an advantage of being closer to the places of dwelling of ibex and have a possibility to choose a large trophy.
