Kamchatka Koryak Snow Sheep

The northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula offers exceptional hunting for Koryak Snow Sheep.  The hunting area is huge in size and contains an excellent ram population. Koryak Snow Sheep average size of 34 to 35 inches with an occasional 40+ inch trophy taken. Sheep are normally found at elevations between 4,000 to 5,000 feet.

This hunt can be combined with Kamchatka Brown Bear, and Chukotka Moose.

Getting to the Hunting Area

You have several options in flying to the Kamchatka Peninsula.  There is at times a flight from Alaska that is done once a week into Petropavlovsk, however many hunters connect thru Moscow where daily service to Petropavlovsk is available.  In Petropavlovsk, upon arrival you will be met by ProfiHunt’s representative who will assist you in the customs formalities.  Depending on your arrival time, you will be taken to hotel for the evening, or you will connect on a commercial flight from Petropavlovsk to Korf.  From Korf you will be chartered into the camp by a helicopter.

Hunting Camps

The camps are modern windproof tents and are equipped with stoves and cots. Separate tents are used for dining, sleeping, with one set up with a shower. The camps are located in mountain valleys at elevations between 2,500 to 3,000 feet. All camps have cooks who prepare good home style meals while offering quality service in a rustic setting.  Electricity is supplied by generators.

Hunting Methods

Traditional Spot and Stalk is used for Koryak Snow Sheep hunting.  In most instances you will have two guides for each hunter in camp. 

All hunting is conducted on foot. A great deal of walking and climbing is required, thus your physical condition will be a factor.  Spike tent camps are normally used so as to access remote areas and allow you to cover more area during your hunt. Long range shooting between 350 to 450 yards is common.
