ROUTE

The route will depend on the desired hunting species. There are several cities with international airports in Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and some others. Upon arrival in Russia, our company representative meets you at the airport and after finishing all custom formalities, you will head for the domestic flight to the hunting region. You can expect 5-9 days of hunting depending on the desired trophy. Combination hunts are possible; in this case, you should plan more hunting days.

HUNTING

Majority of Russian hunts are classic spot and stalk hunts.
Tur hunting will be one of your greatest mountain adventures. It demands stamina and being fit. We rarely use horses due to the harsh terrain. Tur hunt is spot and stalk hunt.
Snow Sheep Mountains are rather comfortable for trekking, with medium level of physical exercise.
Bears are hunted by snowmobiles, on oat fields, from high seats or by regular spot and stalk.

“It may be eight or nine hours from the time [a hunter] gets his glass on a trophy ram until he gets a shot—if he gets a shot at all. And all that time he’s in a high pitch of excitement, living a month in each five minutes.”
Jack O’Connor
