The Hunting Consortium

RUSSIA

The Hunting Consortium Ltd. has arranged hunts in Russia since 1987. We were among the pioneers of sport hunting in this vast nation during the last years of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the Russian Federation. Much of the exploration into new hunting areas and the establishment of sport hunting programs for the many game over a decade this firm arranged more hunts in Russia than any other company in the world. Today our Russian staff is still the most experienced, practiced, and competent group of hunting travel professionals in Russia.

Our experienced staff in Russia provide a full range of services including assistance in immigration and customs clearance, transfers, accommodations, sight-seeing, escorted shopping, trophy preparation and many other services.

During the last 20 years, many new programs have been developed in farther reaches of Siberia, the Russian Far East, and along the borders of China and Mongolia. In these more primitive areas, hunting is quite similar to that found in Canada and Alaska, with tented camps being the usual accommodations and helicopters and horses the normal modes of travel. In these regions magnificent trophies of coastal brown bear, moose, snow sheep and numerous other species can be had.

Experience counts - discover Russia with the Russian experts! Dependable, proven adventures. We deliver quality!

Russia is so vast, virtually an entire continent, that we must discuss it by region:

"For almost a decade now, I have asked Bob Kern & Corey Knowlton to provide me with the best international hunts on planet earth. They have always came through and provided me with some of the most exciting adventures that i have had in my career."

-Jim Shockey

RUSSIAN FAR EAST

The Russian Far East holds Russia’s greatest wealth in big game species. This vast, remote, virtually unsettled land, including the provinces of Khabarovsk, Magadan, Chukotka, and Kamchatka, as well as Sakhalin Island, are home to three types of brown bears, three subspecies of moose and six varieties of snow sheep, not to mention caribou, wolf, wolverine, walrus and small game. Distances are great and travel difficult, but for the adventurous hunter the rewards are without compare.

The Hunting Consortium has been involved in the development of the Russian Far East since the moment this region was opened to foreign travelers. We have explored extensively in Khabarovsk, Kamchatka, and Chukotka. We developed the hugely popular program for coastal brown bear hunts in Kamchatka and we were the first hunting company to penetrate the interior of Chukotka to harvest the huge moose of the Anadyr Basin. With over 400 brown bears taken, our 100% success rate of coastal brown bear is unmatched in the hunting world.

SIBERIA

Stretching more than 2,000 miles from the Ural Mountains, which mark in boundary of European Russia in the West, to the shores of the Sea or Okhotsk in the Far East, Siberia is a huge, thinly populated region with several distinct ecosystems and almost incalculable wildlife resources.

In Western Siberia, near the cities of Kurgan and Ekaterinburg stretch seemingly endless fields of wheat, corn and other crops. This is the “bread basket” of Russia and home to the largest Siberian roe deer in the world. This region also has huge forests and swamps in which can be found wild boar, wolves and very large Europan moose. Accommodation is had in farm houses and simple cabins (occasionally also in tented camps).

In South Central Siberia lie the remote and mountainous autonomous republics of Altai and Tuva. This beautiful region is covered with evergreen and birch forests and boasts a diverse array of game species. Asian elk (maral stags), of approximately the same size as those found in Mongolia, brown bear, Yakut moose, Siberian roe deer and musk deer are found in good numbers. Accommodation is had in tented camps and simple hunting cabins.

Perhaps the greatest hunting treasures of Siberia, however, are found in Eastern Yakutia, in the several mountain ranges and river drainages east of the Lena River. Here, the traveling sportsman can still find excellent populations of Yakut snow sheep, as well as huge moose along the Kolyma and Indigirka Rivers, Siberian brown bear (Russian grizzlies) caribou (reindeer) and wolves, not to mention stunning scenery in pristine wilderness of mind boggling size. Tented camps are set up in remote areas reached only by helicopter or bush plane.
