You handled it rurally well. We came away with the attitude that we had had an unexpected adventure and learnt alot. But honestly I wouldn't go back especially hearing how things dont seem to have improved.

You at least saw some mature males. I suspect you were close to the Chinese border.

Yes I recognize that! I told them I have worked very hard for my equipment and were unable to part with any of it. And requests to buy were deflected with where to order.

The two british gentlemen fared worse (one had zero hunting), I believe essentially they were too polite. I later learned that they wanted to leave as well; group dynamics etc I didn't want to impose my will and made up a tummy issue.

Yes down South in Naryn region, At-Bashi was just north of the mountains
