KAMCHATKA
SNOW SHEEP HUNT
Bighorns. (Ovis nivicola koriakorum,
Ovis nivicola nivicola)
Hunting for bighorns is difficult, very emotional and
as any mountain hunting demands good physical training.
Weather, which is unstable in the mountains, plays an
important role in success. Rains and fogs are frequent.
Quite often it happens that there are only 2-3 days with
good conditions for walking. One needs light and warm
clothes, special footwear for mountain hunting, repellents
and mosquito nets. As a rule, the camp is set in the areas
where there is a certain group of trophy animals found
in advance. Koryak bighorn hunting will be organized in
the northern part of the peninsula where the magnitude
of population of these subspecies is high and there is
an opportunity to get a worthy trophy with the length
of horns of 85 centimeters and more. Hunting is organized
"on hot scent" ("skradom") at a height
of 600-900 meters above the sea level and demands good
physical form from hunters. There are no horses. Per day
it might be necessary to walk about 3 - 10 kilometers
and more in the mountains. The mountains here are much
more sloping than in Central Kamchatka.
