Hunting for the Kamchatka bear - Baikal Safari

Kamchatka bear is the dream of many hunters. They are estimated as the largest subspecies of a brown bear, their weight can reach 650 kg. The bear has the largest skull and skin up to three meters in length. At first glance, the animal seems to be slower and more peaceful in contrast to its nimble brothers in Siberia and the Far East, but trust us: this is just an illusion. Lately there have been a lot of cases of bear attacks on local residents. The largest individuals inhabit the northern regions of Kamchatka, but are commonly observed in the south of the peninsula. Female bears are more prolific. So bear cubs with three or even four cubs are often found.

Hunting for the Kamchatka bear is available in two seasons:

Spring (in the most southern regions from April 22 to May 25, in the northern parts from April 11 to May 25). Fall (from August 20 to November 30). The nature is picturesque during the both periods, however, picking up a large trophy is definitely easier in the spring. But it also depends on a stable snow cover. However, in the autumn, there is an opportunity to fish on Kamchatka salmon. It is included to the CITES list.
