I know guys who come south from the north/east maybe twice a month during the winter season to hunt as they CANNOT get the large number of runs in that area of the country they can get down here But this is only on larger quarry,the last time they came down pre-ban the weekend haul was 5 fox and four fallow.Not saying that number cant be taken in the north,just saying I never saw ground up there that equalled certain areas "Down south".

I know what you mean about high altitude and thin air,I have suffered mild altitude sickness several times due to not acclimatizing.Your trip sounds fantastic,it will certainly be an eye opener .

I stayed on the Chinese side of the Tien Shan mate en route to the Mongolian side of the Altai.The people on the Xinjiang side are Uigurs,excellent people,and yes,I did stay in native tents when upcountry,they are nomadic people living in round felt,canvas tents called yurts,reminded me of camping in Weardale as a kid Never saw Taigans when I was there,saw big herd guarding mongrels though.Taigans are used for Marmots,hares and fox right?

Been right on the border mate,Urumqi and Xinjiang,get yourself up into the Tien Shan awesome mountains although Almaty is in the foothills of the Alatua range.Try drinking Kumiss . Theres an economic boom there at the moment,oil and gas,maybe thats pushed accommodation prices up as migrant workers flood in?
