OTHER Language PDF - French, German
Kamchatka snow sheep inhabits the central part of the Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia). The average trophy size is 34-37 inches with occasional 40-inch ram taken. These sheep have the heaviest bases of all snow sheep of Asia. We do not promise you to see very many rams, but we strive to make your hunt successful. In some areas Kamchatka Brown Bear can be taken as additional trophy starting from the 20 August.

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.
