Trophy hunt in Kazakhstan • Hunting site Kumbel (798.3 km2). Variety oh trophy animals - Asian Elk (lat. Cervus Elaphus), Asian Ibex (lat. Capra Sibirica), Siberian Roe Deer (lat. Сapreolus pygargus), Wild Boar (lat. Sus scrofa), Wolf (lat. Canis Lupus). The special peculiarity of Kumbel hunting site is its location – the site situated in a huge mountain gorge all along Koksu river from west to east till the Chinese border. • Hunting site Koyandy Tau (957.6 km2). Variety oh trophy animals – same as in Kumbel site. East border of Koyandy Tau sides with west border of Kumbel site. • Hunting site Shagan (437.1 km2). Variety oh trophy animals – same as in Kumbel and Koyandy Tau sites, excluding Asian Ibex. East border of Shagan sides with west border of Koyandy Tau site. Therefore, the hunting sites form an arch, stretched from east to west, bordered from south, south-east and south-west by Altyn Emel and VerkhneKoksu national reserve parks. The constant anti-poacher protection, large area, complex geographical relief of the hunting sites, and animal feed-up from national parks, facilitate the stable increase of animals population at our hunting sites. They possess the knowledge of hunting areas, localities of trophy animals and their behavior. The guides will fully assist the hunter during his stay also they are trained to give first aid, if necessary. 2. Accommodation and transportation. Due to the large area of hunting sites, we use a mobile hunting camp for hunter’s accommodation. We have a new living trailer based on 6x6 military truck. In the trailer there are 4 beds, oven, washstand, 220V electricity, satellite phone. The truck also carries a mobile Russian bath. Therefore, before the hunt we select the place of hunt where we send the trailer, guides, vehicles, other equipment and horses. So, the prepared hunting camp, located in appropriable distance from the place of hunt will await our guests in the good time. Also, there are few stationary guides lodges (or border guards posts) with minimal comfort. Approaching from the hunting camp. Approaching the place of hunt from the camp – by 4x4 vehicles, or/and horses, mountain motorbikes, afoot. We have 3 4x4 vehicles, 2 motorbikes, 5 horses. 3. Food supplies. During all the stay in a hunting camp we provide breakfast, hot lunch (if available) and dinner for our guests. At the hunt, guides carry some food and beverages “in the field”. Alcoholic drinks are at the expense of a guest. 4. Environmental conditions Our hunt is the mountain hunt: Asian elk – from 2000 to 3000 meters above sea level (ASL), in the higher border of fir forest zone. Asian Ibex – from 3000 meters ASL and higher, in alpine, rocky and glacier (recently) zones. Siberian Roe Deer – from 0 up to 2500 meters ASL. Wolf and Wild Boar – everywhere up till rocky zone. Temperature range – from 0 degree Celsius at night to 10-30 degrees Celsius in noon (August). In September and October temperature falls to 10-0 degrees Celsius in afternoon, at night its steady subzero. Due to uneven mountain weather we ask to reserve at least 12 days for the hunting tour. Possibly we will have to wait for better weather in the camp. Kumbel hunting site geographic coordinates - might be seen via Google Earth 5. Bring-in of rifles and ammo.
