It was short and successful hunt. It was rainy and blew the north wind, which the locals called ‘Bura”. Such  weather was the reason why all animals descended to the bottom of the narrow gorge. But then the wind changed. We drove a little up to the mountains from the seaside and detected the group of mouflons. The herd consisted of females and males with good horns.  But we were looking for the nice trophy with horns not less than 70 sm that’s why we drove further.  We didn’t find one and decided to drove back and check one more time in the previous group. One of the males there had trophy size. I did the only but accurate shot from the distance 100m and got it. Then we made lots of pictures on the background of the sea and islands. I used Sakko 85, cal.300 WSM, optics Zeiss VICTORY V8 1,8-14x50. Thank you very much to our guide Ante, Joseph Tomlynovich for their professional job. My personal thanks to Edward Bendersky for this trip!

I hunted for the Altai Ibex in November,2019 in Altai. The shot was done from the distance 440 m at the angle 15 degrees. The used bullet Berger 210 VLD Hunting, Blazer 300 win mag. The length of the horns is 96 sm. Thank you very much to High Hunt for the organization of that hunt.

The hunt for the Isfahan Mouflon took one day on December 13. I fired to the running aim. It was moving in the group of 25 animals. We still don’t know what has scared the animals and why they have  run. Probable they heard or smelled the hunters.  I shot several times to the male which was not the biggest trophy from the distance 260-360 meters. We found three penetrations when checked it later.

I got the Tibetan bharal by the second shot from the distance 470 meters.

Район охоты находится где-то в 200 км севернее от Магадана, часть пути проходит на машине до Мадауна и затем на снегоходах в это время года. Температура колеблется от -24 до -15 градусов, поэтому к 4-х часовой поездке на снегоходе нужно специально подготовиться. В горах, на подьезде к базе, нас накрыла метель, что продлило на пару часов наше путешествие: несколько раз глубоко засели и откапывали снегоходы. На следующий день метель продолжалась, что не позволило вообще выйти на поиски трофеев. Второй день, несмотря на продолжающуюся, но затихающую метелеь, дал нам несколько окон для наблюдения за соседними горами. В общей сложности прошли около 12 км, но баранов не обнаружили. На третий день стало совсем ясно, что позволило нам, с первыми лучами солнца, начать осмотр окрестностей. Вскоре на рссстоянии 700 метров были обнаружены 4 барана, один из которых представлял трофейную ценность. Начался подход. Наблюдая за баранами, мы подползли на 430 метров, замерив расстояние, я уже начал корретировать баллистическую туррель прицела, когда вдруг баран, изменив резко направление движения, скрылся за сопкой! И, буквально вынырнул на расстоянии 100 метров от нас! Мгновенно изменив кратность прицела, с рук, с колена стреляю в трофей. Баран падает на месте!

It was pouring rain. I shot from the distance 250 meters, with the angle 35 degrees. It was the easy hunt.

The trophy was taken near the Kegety tract (Tokmok).I used calibre 300 WM and put “ mountain hunter mark” under the eyebrow. It was the lesson which taught me to be more attentive when shooting to the steep angle up. My guide Makhsad Taranchev was young at that time but very professional and did good approach to the animal.

It was my second visit to Prince George in this year. I arrived on November 1st. The first time the hunt for the American goat was canceled because they hadn’t the hydroplane to land on the lake and to hunt from the tent camp. I had to hunt for the Black bear not to waste time.  I arranged the goat hunt in November but it cost much more.  It took us about 5 hours’ drive from Prince George to the town Chetwynd. I stayed there for nights during all trip.  Next day we drove to the hunting area and monitored a group of goats, about 30-40 animals, which grazed in 3km from us. Unfortunately the bear attacked them from above and the herd moved to another side of the mountain. On the day #2 we climbed the mountain, what took us 3.5 hours and detected a big male with two females. But they also headed behind the slope and we didn’t’ see them anymore. We had to come back. It was snowy for two days and I spent time waiting for good weather. But my hopes were not to be fulfilled. At last we ascended to the same mountain and found the trophy. I fired from the distance 500 meters and got it by the first shot. Next days we hunted for deers, wolves and a lynx. Thus I took the additional trophy of the Black Canadian wolf and lynx. This hunt was the most difficult in physical terms.

I hunted in KCR in 2018. My goal was to get the Kuban Tur and Chamois. I couldn't take the Tur by the objective reasons and rescheduled it to the next year but was lucky with the Chamois. Thank you very mucht to Khadzhy-Marat Bostanov for this hunt and hospitality. I shot from the distance 300 meters to the running male.
