KAMCHATKA (OR KORYAK) SNOW SHEEP HUNT
KAMCHATKA BEAR HUNT
The Kamchatka Peninsula could be compared to what Alaska may have been like many years ago before huge populations of Man & his super-cub planes left their negative mark. Huge Brown Bears, Moose & Snow Sheep still in-habit these remote lands. Similar plant life, birds & Salmon prove that these 2 lands were joined at one time. The total lack of a human population in the remote regions assures quality hunting. Generally a much better weather pattern with less rain, fog & more high ground which permits the use of snowmobiles, horses & better walking. Cabins, tents, generators, better meals with superior nutrition over a wet pup tent & freeze dried food. Single specie & multi-specie combos are higher % of success. This game rich area can be accessed from Anchorage or Moscow. Awesome values of tourist shopping in Petro of carvings, & unique gifts. A second Bear can be added in some cases. 100% of all the Brown Bears taken have a perfect hide with no rub marks. 85% of all Bears taken in North America are rubbed. Many more bear sightings, better accommodations, better hair (No rubs). Spring Hunting in early May allows covering many miles per day via snowmobile. A 9" track in the snow equals a 10Ft Bear & worth following in the fresh snow. Large mature boars are most active this time of the year, they have just emerged from their dens & are very hungry. One of their favorite meals this time of the year are the new born cubs. Combine that with the fact that this is the mating time of the year & Mature Boars are on the prowl all day long. These same Bears are very nocturnal in the fall, most of the time they do not show up at the Salmon streams until after shooting light has passed. Every year, the largest boars are taken in the Spring. Fall bear is a great combination Trophy to combine with Kamchatka Snow Sheep in Late Aug or Sept or with Moose in Late Set or Oct. Best bears with the best coats of long hair taken in May every year; Snowmobiles allow 40-60 miles of travel per day!! Beats walking!! Large Bears tend to be nocturnal in the fall. If you seek a 9'-10fter Spring is your only logical choice.

The Siberian Taimen belongs to the Salmon Family who always stay in fresh water as opposed to Real Salmon inhabits in salt water and comes to the rivers for spawning. We do this trip on very wild and remoted area on the river Gonam in South Yakutia. It is not easy at our time to find the area there were not so many people before you there. Our area is such place. Gonam is tributary of Uchur, Uchur is tributary of Aldan, Aldan is tributary of Lena - one of the biggest river of Central Siberia. Our fishing area is located at 550 km to the East from Neryungry city. There are 6 times zones between Moscow and Neryungry (+6 hrs with Moscow time). No any other people except our clients can reach this area because of no roads and no possibility to get there by usual motor boats. The reason is long distances and many rapids on the river. We use aerostatic crafts to get the place and for fishing. Maximum speed of the craft is 35 km/hr. It can go on any deep of the water, easy go through rapids. Each of our crafts has satellite phone on board and have constant connection with other crafts and city. There is also JPS on each board. In winter time we bring fuel by big trucks and leave it in tanks along the river bank so we have our own fuel stations in fishing area on summer season. There are lots of fish in our fishing area: Lenok (2-5 kg), Northern Pike (5-15 kg), Greyling (up to 1,5 kg) and of course the king of Siberian rivers - TAIMEN (5-25 kg). For experiences angler is not a problem to get the trophy 20-30 kg. The record of this river is Taimen 38 kg weight. That was caught by our main fishing guide Vladimir Mikheev. Taimen fishing principle is CATCH & RELEASE. All other fish we can take for cooking as much as we want. Every day we enjoy fresh fish dishes cooked on bonfire. The width of the river is from 50 to 300 m and there are many rapids, sandbars, saults, deep holes, backward waters, many small fresh streams fall following into the main river - favorite places of big taimen. You can use spinning and fly fishing both. The area were we fish is realy very wild, you can meet there different animals on the river banks - Moose, Bear, Rein Deer, Wolf, Musk Deer and others. Anglers can fish from the river bank and from aerostatic crafts. There are total 4 aerostatic crafts for clients. 1 KHIVUS-10 - for 3 anglers. 2 KHIVUS-6 - for 2 anglers each. And one KHIVUS-TRUCK to bring heavy things like fuel e.c. So total normal group size can be 7-8 anglers. This trip is for those people who want to merge with wild nature with doingall things themselves - camping, cooking, doing everything together. We don't provide a cook on this trip because each craft has limited space and weight. We do cooking together, every morning and evening we have hot meal cooked on open fire on river bank. Lunch we have on the river with sandviches, hot tea or coffee. We take with us all necessary food in the market just before the trip. We can have hot shower in hunting houses 2-3 times a week.
