Shot at 450 meters with a Blaser R8 calibre 338LM.

It was very difficult hunting in the mountains of Iran. In six and a half days we walked 61.3 km through the mountains at altitudes of 2000-3000 metres. The animals are very cautious or frightened, although we were told that no one had hunted them in these areas for 6 years. Red sheep was taken at a distance of 557 metres. We also tried to hunt Transcaspian Urial in the same area but failed. At a distance of 500-800 metres, even the guides were unable to determine the exact species.

I took an Iberian mouflon in Spain.

From 25 to 31 January I hunted in the Irkutsk region, Zhigalovsky district, on the territory of "Lena-Tur" Ltd. The hunt was conducted by Kislov G.A. The desired trophy was shot on the second day. The organiser of the hunt was the company "Stalker Group", represented by Ludmila Eliseeva. I express my gratitude to Gennady Kislov and the taiga team.

In November 2023 I took my Kri-Kri ibex in Greece, on the island of Atalandi. It was a completely atypical and unusual hunt for a mountain hunter. It was a completely different hunt from what I was used to. The difficulty was that this ibex could not be taken from the approach, it hears every rustle. It was very difficult to sit on a chair for 5 hours without moving - my back, arms, legs - everything was swollen and numb. While I was taking the weapon off, 2 ibexes ran away. Then I tried to sit without the weapon for about an hour and a half so as not to miss the third ibex, and I was aiming for about 20 minutes. I can't tell you how much my arms and back hurt after such a hunt. It was a really hard hunt, even with a smoothbore weapon, because rifled weapons are forbidden in Greece.

Central Asian ibex hunting in Kyrgyzstan We left Bishkek at 05.00 for Naryn to the shepherds' hunting base. We spent the day at the base testing and adjusting the weapon. In the morning the weather was cool but clear with wind. The ibex was taken from 578 metres with a Blaser R8 30-06 carbine.

The hunt took place in the Smolensk region. We hunted with a corral.

From 8 to 10 January 2024 I hunted in the Irkutsk region on the territory of LLC Lena-Tour. The hunt was led by Gennady Kislov. Everything went exceptionally well, which was made possible by the excellent organisation of the process, starting with the reconnaissance and ending with the shooting with rented weapons. The lynx was found one hour after leaving the base over the carcass of the musk deer. The dogs did not let the animal get far. The whole hunt lasted two hours. During the hunt the temperature ranged from -35°C to -15°C. Everything went perfectly. Special thanks to the company "Profi-Hunt" and personally to Artyom Veselov for the excellent organisation of the hunt!!!!

At the end of the 2023 hunting season I managed to go to the Caucasus. I took a good male chamois in Ossetia (at 560 metres) and then in Chechnya I was lucky to find a very old tur, 15-16 years old.  I shot at a departing tur at a distance of 500 metres. I hit it with one shot. The horns were badly battered and broken, but the weight of the horns was still impressive. This is my dream trophy!

We hunted in Murghab for three days. Weather from +3°C to -10°C. Hunting was good and easy. Organiser - Bekmurodi Zafar.

Okhotsk snow sheep was taken on 22 August 2012 at a distance of 258 meters.  I shot Remington 700, calibre 300 vin mag 11.7 gr.

My first hunt in the Caucasus!
