About hunting in Kazakhstan
With an area of more than 1 million square miles, Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world. It’s located in the heart of central Asia, bordered by Russia on the north, China on the east, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan on the south, and the Caspian Sea on the west.
Mid-Asian ibex are the primary draw for the mountain hunter, and trophy quality here is excellent. Hunters also flock to Kazakhstan for the chance to hunt the Asian wapiti or maral stag, the largest elk in the world. Siberian roe deer (the largest variety of roe deer), wild boars, and wolves round out the huntable game. The country is also home to four types of argali sheep as well as transcaspian urial, but none of these are currently open to hunting.
The population of maral stags in Kazakhstan is the highest in Eurasia. Eastern Kazakhstan is especially well known for outstanding trophies. The best time for maral stag hunting is during the roar.
Ibex hunting in Kazakhstan is conducted in national parks, and there are two options. Altyn Emel National Park is located about 135 miles from the city of Almaty. While the mountains in this area are rugged, the elevation is not extreme and most hunting areas can be accessed by vehicle and on foot. Average trophy size ranges from 39 to 45 inches. Much higher in altitude are the Djungarian and Ili Alatau National Parks, located about 250 miles from Almaty. Hunting in this area is usually conducted on horseback, and average trophy size is larger than in Altyn Emel at 46 to 55 inches.

The accommodations were more than adequate, the quality and quantities of food was also good. The canned horse meat on the mountain for lunch was a new experience. The horse tack was the best of any Asia mountain hunt I have done. I was 79 years old when I did this hunt.
