Do they have a rule about how close you can sit to a harvested animal in Russia. Every time I see a pic of an animal harvested in Russia seems like they're sitting a mile behind them

Ask the outfitter when you book a hunt, when you are on a hunt the outfitter wants nice pictures so they tell you where to be at because they want to capture animal and the size

Its a photography gimmick. Its not even 'photoshopped' as the simpletons would say. Its just use of an ultrawide lens. The more wide than say 35mm you go, the more exaggerated the effect. This is why portraits are never shot at 16mm... you'd have a huge nose in the frame and invisible ears :o

These are huge animals guys it's no different in Alaska or Canada you can't hide big but some that shoot mediocre animals that want to pose a certain way to make animals seem bigger it happens everywhereI have no doubt they are big animals, it's obvious they are and I would be glad to take either of them. I just don't understand why people think they need to sit so far behind an animal to exaggerate its size in photographs. If those were my harvests I'd be gripping and grinning.
Sorry to off track your thread shooting stix, I know you got a business to run and I shouldn't be making light of your advertising and I apologize for that

For me personally, if I ever get to go off continent to hunt, it would be Russia. ......not Africa.
Me too. I'm very interested in hunting Russia.

It was just a shakedown and my Russian was good enough to call bs . Usually a crate of vodka or a couple expensive bottles of scotch smoothed things over. I always bought extra booze and/ or bribe money on trips
Hope way of business has changed

I'm reading this book longbows in the far north or something like that. Stories of the author hunting in Canada, Alaska and russia. From what I've learned russia can be almost identical to Alaska in terms of scenery and animals etc
Thanks for the book report.

Do you use an AK-47 on these hunts? :chuckle:you can google up a video on youtube by Vice about hunting radioactive animals near Chernobyl. They were using AKs iirc. They were after wolves and boar. The guides believed that the best defense against radiation was alcohol, so everyone was drinking vodka. The higher the radiation, the more you drink.

Do you have a link? How do prices compare?
No I don't have a link I have associates that can almost get any hunt in the world so I go thru them for pricing

So what price do your associates charge for a moose or brown bear hunt? Or are we supposed to look that up on the Internet and find out ourselves, then call you and book it for us? This was one of those suggestions from your other post. Put some more info about these hunts you're selling and you might draw some interest.
For two big bears it's 25k for one bear it's 15k I am still working on the moose that's why I haven't posted the info I will keep you guys more information especially the people who want this hunt. My associate has been in the industry for 20 years plus but every year the price changes due to supply and demand.
