Mountain hunting is very unpredictable, we had planned to hunt lower, but the weather was warm and we had to go to the top of the ridge.

Hunting in Kyrgyzstan for Siberian ibex near the town of Naryn, Aksai River Valley.

In September 2023 I was lucky to shoot a red deer trophy during the rut. The hunt took place in the Tver region. The distance was 200 metres.

Uzbekistan; not difficult; 420 metres.

It was the easiest hunt. First we tested and adjusted the rifle. Then we drove 500 metres and started to check and explore the slopes. We didn't see anything. We drove another 500 metres and stopped to check another slope. There, 50 metres from us, was a sheep grazing. I quickly loaded my carbine and fired from the hand without any preparation. All I saw was the sheep's head and neck. It seemed to me that the bullet passed to the left of the animal and I shot again at the running animal. The huntsman said I probably missed, but we decided to check. We got to the spot where the Barbary Sheep was standing and found traces of blood. It was clear that the animal was badly wounded. After 20 metres, the sheep was lying in the bush. The shot was right in the neck. The animal was 10 years old.

We went up into the mountains, spent the night, found the tur, got close and I fired.

In my first hour of hunting in France, I took a Corsican sheep.

An ibex taken in the Tien Shan Mountains, Kazakhstan.

Wild reindeer taken on 05 September 2011. I fired a Remington 7400 .308 caliber from a distance of 120 meters! 

At the beginning of December I was hunting chamois in Slovenia. The weather was favourable. The hunt took place on a small private farm on the border with Austria. It was the first time I hunted a mountain animal from a hunting tower. As I was told, the snow at the beginning of December forces the animals to move deeper into the forest zone. There, in the couloirs of the mountains, they build towers on small rocks with maximum visibility. We set off in the dark, walking along the streambed for about 700 metres. Then we climbed 200 metres up the path. And there we were! At dawn we saw three animals, two females and a juvenile, about 350 metres from us. "Far away" - said the huntsman - "we will wait"). Then two more chamois came out, closer, 270 metres away. "We'll wait some more," was the huntsman's reply. And on the cliff opposite, illuminated by the morning sun, there it was, out of nowhere, an Ibex! The shot at 157 metres was not difficult. I shot with klb 300 wm. I am 100% satisfied with the hunt!
