A: Kamchatka offers a truly unique combination of factors: it is home to the largest subspecies of snow sheep (*Ovis nivicola nivicola*), the landscape is a stunning mix of volcanic peaks and coastal mountains, and it provides the world’s best opportunity to combine a sheep hunt with a hunt for a giant Kamchatka Brown Bear.

A: The helicopter is the only practical way to access the remote hunting areas. The charter cost is a separate, significant expense that is typically divided among all hunters in a group (usually 2-4 hunters). We provide a detailed quote for the flight, which is subject to final pricing based on flight hours. The flights are highly dependent on weather.

A: It is an opportunistic hunt. You purchase a bear license in advance. During your sheep hunt, if a mature bear is spotted, you can choose to pursue it. The significant trophy fee for the bear is only paid if you are successful. It’s a fantastic way to maximize the potential of your expedition.

A: The weather is extremely unpredictable and can change in minutes. You should be prepared for everything: fog, strong winds, rain, sleet, and even snow, regardless of the time of year. High-quality, waterproof and windproof layered clothing is not just recommended, it’s absolutely essential for safety and comfort.

A: The sole entry and exit point for this hunt is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (PKC). Hunters typically fly there via a domestic connection from Moscow. Our team meets you at PKC and handles all logistics from that point forward.

A: This is a strenuous mountain hunt. It involves daily hiking in steep, often wet and slippery conditions. You will be climbing from lower valleys to high ridges to glass for animals. Excellent cardiovascular fitness and strong leg strength are critical for both success and enjoyment of the hunt.
