Caucasian Chamois

The Caucasian Chamois are found in the Caucasian Mountains. Caucasian Chamois have relatively short yet stout horns with the average trophy size between 7 and 8 inches. ProfiHunt Hunters have been experiencing close to 100% success when pursuing this trophy.

Note that the Caucasian Chamois counts toward both the Ovis and Capra World Slams. 

This hunt can also be combined with European Roe Deer, Wild Boar, Mid-Eastern Brown Bear, and a Kuban Tur.

Getting to the Hunting Area

You will fly into Moscow and upon arrival you will be met by ProfiHunt’s representative who will assist you in the customs formalities.  You’ll then most likely spend the evening in a hotel in Moscow.  In the morning you will fly to Mineralnyye Vody and then transfer via car to Karachaevsk, complete the Visa Registration process, and stay in a Hotel.  The next morning you will transfer via car to the hunting area.

Hunting Camps

Accommodations are in tented camps at an elevation of 5,100 feet.  The tents are large in size and you will sleep on cots.  Showers are available.  You will experience good home style food and quality service with electricity being provided by an electric generator.

Hunting Methods

During the day you will travel the upper edges of the mountains while glassing the hillsides and feeding areas. You’ll travel by jeep or on horseback, coupled with considerable walking and hiking.   Some knowledge and experience with horses and riding is definitely a plus. 

Hunters can expect to glass from a good observation point for several hours, and then move to another area until you find your trophy.   Animals normally are found in mountainous areas and open spots by tree line and brush at elevations between 7,500 and 8,000 feet.  Spotting and stalking this trophy can be challenging and your physical condition is a factor.
