There were some reports that Kyrgyzstan was going to be closed to hunting in the Naryn area starting this fall. Did that happen? If it didn’t did anyone go yet?

Kyrgyzstan remained open, but some regions had later opening dates than in the past.

Kazakhstan does have big ibex in certain areas, but so does Kyrgyzstan. And in Kyrgyzstan, you don't have to pay for trophy shipping and expediting or for additional costs including a weapon import permit or for an export cites as these are included. Additionally, in Kyrgyzstan you pay one flat rate for any size of trophy you take. That will be hard to find in Kazakhstan.

It was heavily poached out by the outfitter's guides.

One friend went 3 times. Ended up in jail for a week once, wasn't allowed off the airplane the 2nd time and shot a nice billy on the 3rd trip.

Not sure I'd go after getting out of the jail.
