[JUSTIFY]Yearly report on the performed trophy hunting by Prohunt company in Kazakhstan.
Trophy hunting is the main funding source for protection and biotechnology in modern hunting sectors. Senior males that are above fertile age and would inevitably face death of cold winter or predators are taken out of the wild. This practice is used globally and supports steady growth of the planet’s bioresources.

For two years our company has been the unofficial leader among outfitters in the country. Despite the worldwide economic recession, we have managed again to increase the inflow of foreign tourists-hunters to our country during this season. This was a result of meticulous, systematic customer relations management and continuous participation in international expos and hunting shows.

It is certain that this season’s demand has exceeded supply; therefore we have focused on increasing available licenses for main types of trophy animals by finding new destinations and possibilities. We are hoping to introduce four new areas for the next hunting season: Trans-Ili Alatau, Eastern and Western Dzhungaria, Kazakhstani Altai region. During successful test-hunting in 2016 we have obtained excellent trophies of maral, ibex, and Siberian roe deer.

Briefly about conducted tours and major destinations.
Altyn Emel hunting territory has been hosting hunters from all over the world for 25 years. It’s site class is the highest among Kazakhstan territories, thus the quantity of hoofed animals is comparable to the animal density of African countries. This place is the classic for ibex hunting.

Among herds of wild animals, goitered or black-tailed gazelles, onagers, the lands of this national park offer multiple historical sites of the Neolithic era. Petroglyphic drawings, ancient burial hills and tombs can be visited during a hunting tour.

Geographic landscape presents vast variety as well: rocky cliffs, chalk deposits, red mountains, and a rear natural site – the singing dunes. Average ibex trophies in this area are 110-115cm, an all-time record of 148cm horns ibex has been taken a few years ago in the Altyn Emel.

Hunting and access to animals is accomplished on foot, the landscape allows even a modestly fit hunter to approach game. The season lasts from August till November, with little snow and rain in this region. Mid November is the oestrus period for ibex and a great opportunity for hunters to obtain a large trophy

This year’s hunters were mainly coming from these parts of the world: Scandinavian countries, Baltic countries, Spain, and the Balkans. Some groups from Russia and Ukraine have been hosted as well, in accordance with the specially developed CIS program.

Another popular hunting area of Kazakhstan is the Kolsai lakes. This part of the country is often referred to as the maral’s native land. Commonly large maral trophies and an opportunity of ibex-roe deer combination add attraction to this territory. The hunting tours are usually sold out at a year’s start.

Months of September and October are the best period for this destination.
