I got the trophy on the third day of hunting. The weather was cloudy, sometimes it was short-term rain, the wind gusted up to 10 m / s, height was of 1973 meters. I shot from a distance of 750 meters.

The hunt took place in Primorye on the territory of the hunting club "Bear", located in the Lazovsky district of Primorsky Krai. The base of the hunting farm is located near the village of Sokolchi. You can see that the owners of the form made a lot of work to maintain the hunting infrastructure, biotechnologies and animal protection in good condition. In the evening, I sat on a shooting tower located near the aft field. The animals began to come out around 6.30 pm, deer roared everywhere in the forested mountain ranges. Both spotted deer and roe deer were observed in the feeding field. I got the trophy by the first shot from a distance of 150 meters.

At the end of September 2020, a hunt for Kamchatka snow sheep was organized with the assistance of Pete Zharikhin. I got the trophy of the Kamchatka snow sheep.

Height 4200m, distance 270m

The hunt is well organized. Comfortable living conditions. Difficult in terms of logistics, but simple when I saw the beast. I express my gratitude to the organizer - Yuri Zhdanov, as well as Lyudmila Baranova (Stalker Group).

I hunted in 2017 in Kabardino Balkaria in early November.  There was snow, and it was cold. We walked more than 20 km during the first day. It was hard. We returned to the cars around 1 am. But I still got my turn.  I shot it at close range 160m, 300WM caliber. The realization of everything that happened  came to me only a few days later. I was able to do it!

At the beginning of the season, I managed to get to Yakutia and get one more snow sheep. The hunt took place in the Ust - Maysky district near the border with the Khabarovsk Territory. The weather was extremely favorable with the absence of midges. I spent one day exploring the nearby lands. On the second day, the guide Ananii found a beautiful ram, which I safely missed by 76 meters. But 10 minutes later we saw three sheep that I had previously refused to shoot. Apparently, the God of the Hunt - Bayany wanted me to get one of them. And I did it. I got it from the distance 250 m. Blazer Р 8 cal. 300 WM. So, I got 13 years old trophy.

On September 11th we arrived with Ilya Dmitriev in Mongolia. Our goal was hunting, which was organized for us by our "old" friend from the last trip Bayasa Gursed. After arriving to the area of the city of Khovd, we went to the mountains immediately, even without entering the camp, where the scouts found a herd of Altai argali. When we found out the location of the herd, we started climbing. Unfortunately, the sheep sensed the wind and moved to the next slope. So, we had to go around them to get out against the wind. It was worth it, the sheep were right below us in 350-400m. and they fed peacefully. I chose the largest ram and fired a shot from 375 m and with a slope of 20 degrees down. The trophy turned out to be a wonderful eleven-year-old specimen. It took us an hour. The next morning, we moved to another area to hunt the Altai ibex. Hunting turned out to be very fast and simple again thanks to the coordinated actions of the organizers and the scouts. It was just 8:30 am when I fired a shot from 250 m. at a lying ibex, which turned out to be a good nine-year-old male. The next morning, we flew to the city of Gobi-Altai, after arriving in the hunting area, after a three-hour search, I managed to take a nine-year-old Hangai ibex, of average trophy quality. I took the last, fourth trophy on the second day of hunting in the Khankai district. It took us a long time to find the sheep, but we managed to get to 250 m. like all the previous ones, I got it with one shot. Many thanks to Ilya Dmitriev for the great emotions and organization of the trip, as well as to the organizer from the Mongolian side - Bayasa Gursed!!!!!!!

Once again we managed to hunt the Kolyma snow sheep in Kamchatka. The hunt was organized by the professional team of Konstantin Kalin, the company "FART".  The end of September is always accompanied by a change of weather, so we got days from sunny to snowy. I got a ram on the first day of hunting, having walked a considerable distance through the snow-covered mountains. The shot turned out to be very unusual, as I shot through a snowdrift, behind which a ram was located. The landscape did not allow to approach him from another, more open and comfortable position, so he fired a shot at a distance of 606 meters, with the expectation that a 338 caliber bullet after breaking through a snow barrier should have hit a ram. Everything turned out as planned.

As part of one expedition, I managed to conduct two hunts for various subspecies of Kamchatka snow sheep. At the end of the Kolyma ram hunt, we moved to the Koryak ram hunting area. This always introduces additional difficulties in the organization and logistics, but despite all the weather and other difficulties, we managed to base ourselves in the area of the Koryak Highlands. The weather was rainy and foggy, but visibility was better in the mountains at altitudes from 400 to 1200 meters than on the plain. Very deep and wet snow created difficulties in moving through the mountains and squeezed the sheep into the lower reaches of the rivers. There we found, after a 6-hour search, a group of 5 males who were feeding on the slope near the river. The shot from the opposite slope at a distance of 574 meters was accurate. Another 12-year-old Koryak snow sheep has been extracted.

It wasn’t an easy hunt. We hiked 14 km in the Day #1 and 13 km more on the second day. The hard landscape, steep slopes and wind, knocking us down added lots of difficulties. We had no choice but had  to approach closer and could to come to 150 m.

I got the trophy of Mid Caucasian Chamois in North Ossetia in the Digor gorge. The height was 2700 masl. the distance 320.

My first mountain trophy! I’ve got Siberian Mountain goat in the hunting farm Idzhir, Krasnoyarsk region. The shooting distance was 150m. The length of the left horn is 99.3, with the circle 20.6. The right horn 98.7, the circle 21.2. The beginners are lucky. The trophy was taken in the first day. Thank you very much to my guide Vladimir who detected the male and did his best to approach me to it. We won!

Two Northern Reindeer (female and male) came to us when we were looking for a snow sheep. I didn’t have time to think and caught the male into the cross hairs. We had the license. The shooting distance was 200m. The deer noticed us and stopped. It was enough to make a shot. I really liked the trophy. Later we met reindeer grazing next to snow sheep. Apparently these were their joint habitats.
