He learned to hunt under the guidance of his father, Kambarbek Attokurov, who was known as one of the best hunters in his area.
Tilek is married and raises two sons.
When predators begin to show activity, he prepares for hunting. In 2022, he managed to shoot 11 wolves, and throughout his practice, he has killed about 40 wolves. He gives the organs of some predators, recognized by the people as medicinal, to those who want them, while he simply buries wolf meat, considering it unacceptable for human consumption.
“I studied at the Chypai Asekov school in the village of Bash-Kayindy until the 5th grade, and then continued my education at the Turkish lyceum named after M. Subakozhoev in Naryn. Later, I graduated from the Academy of Physical Culture and Sports,” he shared.
Tilek also noted that the largest wolf he has ever shot was bigger than an adult human.
“I not only hunt predators, sometimes I catch them in traps. My father also caught predators alive and kept them near the house. I do not practice this, as it requires special conditions. A few years ago, I bought a Sako hunting rifle for $6,000 from Finland, which is quite advantageous, as such rifles are usually more expensive,” the hunter added.
Kambarbekov talked about various ways to use parts of wolves: their teeth serve as souvenirs and are used to treat lupus, the skin is used to make outerwear, the liver is used for unconventional treatment of children, bile is used for treating various diseases, and the meat is used for brucellosis and tuberculosis.
“I am against the consumption of wolf meat by humans, as these are wild animals and they may have their own diseases. People can get infected,” he emphasized.
