Annual report for trophy hunting in Kazakhstan. Season  2018.

The time is flying and 2018 is almost over and traditionally we present annual report one of the biggest outfitter company in Kazakhstan. Season 2018 is pleased us. We successfully stabilized the business in 2018, despite substantial global economic headwinds and competitive pressures.
First, it was possible to conduct several photo tours during the summer, when the Hunting season in Kazakhstan is not yet open. Organization of photo tours in the most remote and wild region of Kazakhstan was our goals for many years.

Tours were organized in Almaty region, Tien Shan mountains and Dzungarian Alatau. Our all-inclusive photo tours are well planned, productive and fun. Let us do what we do best—handle all of the planning, details and logistics—so you can do what you love: take great photos!
Terra Incognita is waiting for you and your friends for unique travels!

Secondly, the past season went well for the Hunters as well. The trophy row was consistently high, customer satisfaction, according to hunting protocols is excellent. The average trophy size is 120 cm which considering as a gold medal winners!
Unfortunately there were a problems with transit of weapon and ammunition through Russia. Our client was flying with layover in Russia and due to the new regulations weapons had to be custom in Russia. As a result, the hunting tour was canceled, and we decided to return all funds, including tickets, fees etc., to the hunters.

Hunting tours were carried out in already known hunting ranches , covering the mountains of Zailiysky Alatau, Dzhungarsky Alatau and Altai.
Dzungaria remain the only place in the world where available to hunt combo maral-ibex during one tour. With trophy size more than 120 cm for ibex and more than 13 kg for maral. Due to the very high demand for hunting in Dzungaria, we recommending don’t wait too long.
