KAMCHATKA BROWN BEAR HUNT

The Kamchatka brown bear is distinguished by large size, the average size of trophies (fell length) is 240-270 cm annually our hunters get 1-2 trophies of the size more than 3 m. The Kamchatka brown bear is the largest predator of the Russian forest zone. Since July, fish, namely the spawning salmons become the basis of its feeding on the peninsula. It is almost always able to get itself viand in rivers even in "not the most fishy" year. One more important component of the animal's feed allowance is nut of a cedar elfin wood which is preserved at rich harvest under snow till spring. We have a cedar elfin wood growing everywhere in the forest zone. It forms almost impassable thickets for the man. Quite often they can cover hundreds of hectares and stretch on dozens of kilometers. In years of plenty bears concentrate in the places rich in cones and lay down in dens in the same place or nearby, they also eat cones after leaving their dens. Berries (mountain ash, bog bilberry) also play an important role in the nutrition of the animal. As a rule, from mid September bears do not already visit spawning ground of salmons regularly and start eating vegetative feed. After leaving its den, bears may not eat for a long time and use depot fat. A lot of bears gather on the sea shore and collect the thrown out sea girdle and other "gifts" of the ocean. In the thawed tundra they dig out different roots and bulbs, rummage in anthills in birch forests. The abundance and availability of feed conditions rather quiet character of Kamchatka bears, they attack people once in a blue moon and, as a rule, such animals are sick. Magnitude of population in Kamchatka according to different estimations is between 10 and 14 thousand individuals. The greatest density is observed in southern areas, eastern and western coasts of the peninsula. In the most northern districts, i.e. Penzhinsky and Olutorsky, the number of bears is noticeably fewer. In the recent years there has been an obvious growth in the number of bears. There are several reasons for it, including the development of trophy hunting. This kind of hunting disciplines forest leaseholders and serves as the major factor of protection. According to the official data in the Kamchatka Territory at the average they get about 700 individuals within a year.

In SPRING. The hunting season opens usually on April, 25th and one month lasts. At the western coast hunting from April, 25th till May, 15th, and on east - from May, 1 till May, 24th is most successful. Group of hunters - 3-4 persons. Movement and search of traces is made on snowmobiles. A snowmobile the huntsman operates, the hunter sit down in sledge team, fastened behind. The district, depending on an arrangement of camp, can represent both forest-tundra with a birch forest hills, and foothills of Central range. Depending of lay of land, on hunting can use a skis, which huntsman has always. In the early morning, on a good ice crust of snow, hunters leave camp and come back after a dinner when the snow starts to thaw. Traces of animals are well visible on tundras and slopes of the mountains covered by a rare wood. For a day hunters pass from 20 up to 100 km. Shooting is conducted on a distance of 100-300 m. Hunting camp can be located as near to the sea (20-50 km.) And in mountain valleys, and, as a rule, tent. When snow thawed at the Western coast, the camp is installed on seacoast, then inflatable boats in length of 4-4,5 m. with a rigid bottom pendant motors are applied to movement on water and search of animals. To the animals found out visually on coastal slopes, approach on foot, using of lay of land . The Kamchatka weather in the early spring very much reminds winter, at night and in the morning up to-10, day 0, +3+5. From the bright sun from sunburn with the maximal protection and creams good glasses, a cream are necessary for a leather of the face and hands. Except that also are necessary: warm and waterproof footwear, a jacket, trousers, a cap and mittens, a sleeping bag.

In AUTUMN.Hunting is more complex in the autumn, but more interesting, rather than in the spring. The season can be divided into 2 periods: hunting on rivers (on September, 1th- on September, 10th) and in places of a crop of a nut of cedar dwarf siberian pine and Berries of a rowan (on September, 15th - on October, 15th).
Probability of extraction of a large trophy in the autumn a little below, than in the spring when all is around filled up by a snow, and of a bear easily to find and to define the size on size of trace of paws. Presence of dense vegetation in the autumn, features of a meal and a way of life of a bear, leaves frequently a little time for an estimation of a trophy and preparation of a shot. But bright paints of the Kamchatka autumn, an opportunity of good fishing and charm of running hunting, do an autumn trip more sated by impressions.
The usual plan of hunting on the rivers is such. After a dinner by a motor boat, hunters get as it is possible above on a watercourse, and along toward evening alloy downwards, observing a maximum of care. Animals start to come on riverbanks, as a rule, more close by the night, it is possible to find family groups and separate young medium-sized individuals which are not so cautious on the river in the afternoon. In twilight, there are good trophy copies here again very importantly to operate quickly. Having found out extraneous sounds and smells, the animal instantly disappears in coastal willow shrub formation. A large bear - a predator rather cautious and about it necessaryly to remember. However "even the wisest of us can make a mistake" and the hunter will come across in the clear afternoon a magnificent trophy on the open place. Walking on foot in the afternoon and in the evening on fine springs and channels too can bring weight of emotions. Depending on intensity of a course of a late salmon - coho salmon, bears can and to visit in October spawning channels, eating simultaneously and a nut cedar dwarf siberian pine.
Usually, after September, 20th, bears less willingly come on the rivers, passing on a meal by berries (a rowan, a blueberry) and a nut cedar dwarf siberian pine. As a rule, hunters already know such places by the end of September and there we put camp.
Camp. In the autumn we widely use stationary fishing camp. They are comfortable, there is all city convenience (a shower, a toilet), light, a satellite communication, residing in spacious tents or small houses. In places of concentration of animals on a nut and a rowan we put mobile tent camp, a little less comfortable, but, owing to warm tents-yurts and the modern equipment, hunters has no any inconveniences.
Despite of all difficulties of an autumn season, the rare hunter leaves Kamchatka without a trophy.
