Russia stretches across 11 time zones, encompassing sub‑arctic tundra, coastal floodplains, boreal forests, mountains, grasslands and mixed forests. This breadth of habitats supports a remarkable array of big game, from massive brown bears to unique subspecies of snow sheep. Hunters can pursue species in remote Far Eastern wildernesses, vast Siberian taiga, western government estates and rugged Caucasus mountains.
From Kamchatka’s volcanoes to the Caucasus peaks, Russia offers unrivalled variety in game and terrain.
Far East Kamchatka, Okhotsk and Chukotka support three species of brown bears, two moose species and four different snow sheep species. Hunters travel by boat, snowmobile or helicopter to remote camps to pursue some of the world’s largest bears and moose.
Siberia Immense taiga forests and tundra are home to Siberian roe deer, Russian grizzlies, caribou, huge moose, wolves and snow sheep. Hunts often involve float planes and long snowmobile trips into wilderness.
Western Russia Managed on large estates, this region offers hunts for wild boar, Eurasian brown bear, European moose, reindeer, wapiti (elk), wolves and European red deer. Spring hunts for capercaillie and black grouse complement big game seasons.
Caucasus Mountains Sheer peaks along Russia’s southern border harbour East and West Caucasian tur, red stag, wild boar, Caucasian chamois, brown bear and European bison. Access often involves pack horses and steep climbs.
