Thanks for all that. There's a lot to read through here, and since I'm currently starting my work day I'll have to spend some quality time on this thread later.
We haven't actually booked yet, but the hunts we are looking at are in Tajikistan. We will be hosted by a mountain village and guided by the villagers. The season runs from Nov. to Feb. I'm thinking right now we will probably hunt in Dec. As I understand it, the winters there are relatively dry, but I'm planning on snow just to be safe rather than sorry.
60 miles from here is a peak that tops out a little below 14,000. And they get taller the farther away you get so we may be able to get up around or above 15,000 next year before the hunt.
And, FWIW, we will probably have to rent rifles once we get there since we can't bring our rifles to where we work now. So that's an extra complication.
Again, thanks,
Greg
