No trees at all so basically stalk using contour of the land or from behind if possible. Lots of time bed the animals down and try get in close and stalk when they move. They make the horses work for a living. We were there in beginning of November lots of snow and cold. Biggest thing was lack of oxygen at the altitude your hunting.Extreme horse riding to say the least. Toughest people and animals I have ever seen.Got in closer to the ibex. 2 to 300 meters. Marco were harder to stalk 4 to 700.
