The hunt for partridge is held at the foot of the mountain in days after the arrival to this area. In order to avoid any disputes concerning the name "Keklik", we would rather use its Latin name "Alectoris Kakelik". It’s an Asian partridge, a kin to our Red partridge. This specie is numerous in Kirghizstan.
The hunting area is covered with forested hills. First of all this kind of hunt is intended for purists who would like to know more about other places, who are tired of the monotonous life in some countries of Western Europe. There are several methods of partridge hunting: close passing shots, hunting with a dog (for those who want to take their dog with them), driving. An experienced hunter can take up to 25 partridges per day. There are a lot of birds there but the hunt is very difficult due to the characteristics of the area and vitality of birds.
