PROFI HUNT - Kamchatka Brown Bear hunting in Russia

Kamchatka Brown Bear hunting is one of the most exciting adventures available for the hunters. Kamchatka peninsula is well known for big bears. Success on bear hunt is absolutely perfect. We have been hunting brown bear in Kamchatka for over 12 years producing big bears. Each year at least fifteen our clients take 9-foot bears, plus four - five clients take 10-foot trophies.

How to get there

As Magadan Airlines are not flying to Anchorage any more, the only possibility to get to Petropavlovsk is to fly via Moscow. You will be met by our English-speaking representative at the airport of your arrival and assisted through the customs. Then we take you to the hotel, or transfer to the internal airport for your flight Moscow-Petropavlovsk. It is a non-stop 9 hour flight. In Petropavlovsk you will be met at the airport and then transferred to the hunting camp.

Hunting season

Spring hunt:	April 28 to May 12 May 09 to May 24

Hunting

Bears are hunted as they are emerging from dens. Snowmobiles are used to get the hunters into the remote country. The hunter and the guide cover great distances looking for a track of a big bear. Your guide drives a snowmobile and you are in the sledge behind. Once the tracks are cut, the hunter follows the bear. When bear is spotted you stalk it on foot, snow shoes or skis. Fall hunts are done on boat, foot, or by spotting and stalking while observing active Salmon streams, berry patches and feeding areas. In some areas horseback hunting is available. Average shooting distance is 150-200 yards/100-150 m.

Base Camps

The camps are polar tents or cabins. They are warm, clean, but have no modern conveniences (running water, flush toilets etc). The tents/cabins are equipped with stoves and cots. The electricity is supplied by generating sets. There are separate tents for sleeping, dining and for bathing. Every camp is served by interpreter and cook.
