Hunting in Russia

[Shooting Stix]

For the person who has done it all and wants something different like hunting in Kamchatka Russia for huge moose and Brown bears I would love to book you these are examples of animals taken in Russia

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

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 everywhere

That bear is huge no matter how they took the pic.

Imagine him 20 yds away bearing down on you at full speed.

I 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.

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

Me too. I'm very interested in hunting Russia.

I hunted and fished in Russia quite a bit when I worked there in the 90's. It was always an adventure and seemed the time transportation broke down and " extra" money was needed to continue hunt or fishing

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 sure in 15-20 year now that hunting is more popular once Alaska was over hunted so people started going to Russia instead for the quality of animals coming out of there and realize they can make a ton of money

Thanks for the book report.

Do you use an AK-47 on these hunts? 

[Shooting Stix]

No but you can you will find yourself on the news that an American got mauled by an 12 ft monster bear so it's up to you.
