I will be heading over to Kyrgyzstan in October for an Ibex hunt. What temperatures should I expect? Also, where can I look for some good clothing that will keep me warm while riding the horse and be quick to remove or not be too hot for stalking and hiking? I had a look at Cabelas but just couldn't pick anything. Thanks. | ||

Express, you will hunt with an italian guide/outfitter? This because I've hunted there about 10 years ago with an italian friend who own a concession there. However the temperature in middle november was from cold to very cold. - 10 celsius in the night sometimes over zero sometimes below zero in the day. mario | |||

Hi Mario, yes I am going with "il Black" - Simone Giacomelli. After doing a lot of research and corresponding with various outfitters I was put in contact with him by a friend and went to meet him at the EXA. I got to know him and his family and they are good people so I decided to go with him. He later came to hunt with me here so it will be like going on a hunt with a friend. | |||

yes Black is a real hunter and a good companion. I know him and his family from many year as we come from the same town. Be in good shape as you will walk a lot with him. mario | |||

Hello EXPRESS I had been there twice in the last two years and I just paid the reserve fee for another one. The average temp. that I registered in hunting grounds were from 10ºC daytime to -20ºC on fly camp nights. Take a look to: Sitka Gear (Coldfront), Mammut, Norrona (Dovre, Recon), Swazi (Wapiti an over pants). Beretta DWS.

Express, The best series of articles I ever read for Extreme Gear has been published by a mag called the Huntin Fool. Here is a link for their recommendations http://www.huntinfool.com/arti...Gear/XG-08-2005.html These are not paid advertisements, but rather products that are field tested and proven. The info provided helped me on my recent mountain hunt. Good luck on your hunt, shoot true! "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world" - J Joplin | |||

I work at Barney's Sports Chalet in Anchorage one of the companies listed in the article and I can highly recommend them. Bob the owner is an experience Asian hunter and knows his gear like no one I've ever met before. Everything in the store is top shelf. You pay for it, but you don't over pay for it. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||
