Bear "In The Den" hunt is conducted in winter. It is very old traditional Russial stile hunt. Local guides exactly know the place where the den is. They locate dens far in advance, in late fall, when bear just gets in there. Usually guides know how big the bear is. Bear tracks tell them much about it. It isn't difficult to get to the den area. At first hunters drive there, then go with snow mobile (be prepared for long rides in sled), final 500 -800 m are made on foot. When hunters get close to the den the guides send a dog towards it. It is a climax of the hunt - lots of noise, dogs barking, bear roaring, fighting with dogs. At that second bear gets at the hunter's sight. Shot. Sometimes two bears can be found in one den and a hunter has to be prepared. Though the hunt is not dangerous, hunter is always secured by the EXPERIENCED GUIDE at the back, with loaded gun. It makes everything quite safe. On this hunt you will be fascinated by gorgeous beauty of winter forest covered with snow, drive snow mobile just for fun. Air temperature at this time is -10 - -15 C (+5 - +15 F). If your hunt is over till January 15, you can hunt moose and wild boars as well. After the hunt you can visit local places of interest, learn national culture and folk-lore, enjoy Russian cuisine and Russian hospitality.
