Kamchatka Bear hunt is one of our favorite hunts, which is not only successful, but also brings you back to the old Russian hunting traditions. Hunters are unanimous in calling Kamchatka Peninsula as a Bear's stronghold. It's gospel-truth. Kamchatka remoteness from the rest of the world, it’s climatic conditions and thinly populated areas, less than one person per one square kilometer, made it a home for Ursus arctos piscator, which is among the world's biggest brown bears. The average weight of Kamchatka Bear is between 600 and 1200 pounds (300 and 600 kg), and the hide is 8 - 10 ft. (270 - 310 сm) in size. So, these bears are bigger than those in Chukotka, Magadan or Khabarovsk region.
Quality of hides in the spring time - right after bear comes out of the hibernation, - is way better compare to the fall season hides.
Since terrain is covered with snow during spring hunt, hunters use skidoos to cover the ground searching for fresh track of a good bear.
After the hunt one can swim in natural hot springs, contemplate famous Kamchatka volcanoes, visit the valley of geysers, try Russian traditional food including red caviar, Chatka crabs and smoked salmon.
We have been hunting brown bear in Kamchatka for over 30 years producing big bears!
Bears are hunted as they are emerging from dens. The hunter and the guide will travel great distance by snow-mobile looking for a track of a large bear. Your guide drives a snowmobile and you sit in the sledge behind. Once the fresh tracks are cut, the hunter will follow the bear. When the bear is spotted you will stalk the bear on foot, snow shoes or skis. Shooting distance in average is 110 – 170 yards (100-150 m).
